| Speaker spike feet? n80,You were just kidding about the triple alloy, specifically tuned bit, right? | |
| MAC Autoformers? Thanks George. | |
| MAC Autoformers? "A simple test is to put a well known Auto Former that’s used on OLT’s to make them "sort of work" into speakers they can't drive without them, on the rear end of good solid state amp (say a Pass Labs) and watch it transform into rubbish."geor... | |
| Speaker spike feet? deecee is correct. You would definitely notice the difference between ordinary spikes and these brass ones from Starsound, but of bourse, there is a considerable price difference. | |
| MAC Autoformers? There is a reason why they retain value, and I really don't believe that it is the blue meters. They sound good, and from my experience, the amps with autoformers have more authority and "gravitas" I guess I'd say. | |
| Granite and digital.. geoff,The first sentence wasn't really unkind, and I think it has some truth in it. It's not that bad. You often play the devil's advocate for fun. (or to frustrate) | |

| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! Here's two that I thought of last night while trying to get to sleep:Kings of LeonThe KillersI really dislike both of them. | |
| Speaker spike feet? If you are looking for reasonable prices and good quality, try www.oregondv.com. | |
| DAC Selection Hi Charles,I went to that site. Very interesting. The business model is obviously an homage to Audio note...nothing wrong with that, and I guess the prices are lower too from a review that I read on that site. It makes me want to upgrade to an Aud... | |
| DAC Selection Hi Charles,I'm not familiar with that company, but I'm going to look it up out of curiosity. Thanks.At this time, there are so very many companies making DACs, and the technologies are interesting, but they can also be overwhelming to read about. ... |
