$10k Speaker Cables??????????????
You pay what you want to pay. Nobody is forcing you to write a check or hand over your credit card. If you think you need a $10k cable than so be it. The onus of that purchase rests on your shoulders. Don't blame anyone else. 
$10k Speaker Cables??????????????

Speakers for a very large room?
Ok. I have to admit that I am one of those loyal McIntosh customers but would be willing to eventually upgrade in-brand.  They have treated me well over the years and I love the warmth with the kind of music I like. Might be short sighted but it i...

Best audio companies and dealers
Behrens AV in Jacksonville FL was more than courteous, professional, fair. and timely. Bill was a pleasure to work with even though I never met him face to face. Highly recommended for those of us living in southeast Georgia. 
New Audiogon equipment search format.
I think we all need to take a deep breath and chill. It obviously didn't work out like the way they were hoping, whatever the underlying intention was. They claim they are going to rectify the issue. Let's give them a chance. Your voices have been... 
Wrong way to clean a stylus!
