They recomended the JPS labs digital AC.I only compared it to the VH Audio Flavor 4 that I already had in my system. The JPS sounded much superior in my system. The J... | |
| CD Mats I'm using the Blacklight CD mat. When copying disc's using my dual tray phillips CD recorder, certain CD's won't copy even after multiple trys. I put the mat on, and voila, the cd copies. Must be doing something eh?. I only hear a subtle improveme... | |

| Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker My apologies for jumping to conclusions and butchering the Kings english. Checking the date of the post on audioreview, it appears that Mdhoover posted here at Audiogon first, so presumably someone cut and pasted his review from here and pasted it... | |

| Haven't played my LP's in 20 years - still good? Thanx for the hopefull feedback. I had a rule for years that I wouldn't buy a Cd if I owned the LP.
