Best Customer Service (Manufacturer)
I have bought and sold alot of equipment and with out a doubt the 3 best companies that I have had the pleasure to deal with are Thiel,P.S.Audio and Genesis. That is why I will continue to buy there products. They go above and beyond. Keep up the ... 
Genesis APM-1 or Thiel CS-7 speakers
I owned the Thiel CS 7's but sold them as my listening room was to small ( low ceilings). I listened to the Genesis Amp 1 at Soundex and they sounded more like H/T. I was disappointed as I own a Genesis 900 subwoofer and thought the rest of there ... 
Best female vocals on CD
So meny, Holly Cole,Diana Krall,Patricia Barber,Jean Armatrading, K.D. Lang. The list is endless! 
Please help: Something wrong with my spkrs
You might want to be very careful in telling Classe that you opened the amp up. This may void the warranty! I have a Classe amp and while I love them there customer service was a little cool. Call them and describe the problem and maybe they will ... 
Best Holiday CDs?
I agree with Tubegroover, Mannheim Steamrollers CD's are the best for Christmis Music. I saw them in concert and they do a nice job. 
Best Power Conditioner
Hands down,PS Audio's 300 Power Plant. Accessory of the Year in Stereophile. Great reviews everywhere. Darker darks,more air,depth,wider soundstage,everything. Best buy I ever made. You can try one in house free for 30 days (minus shipping). Make ... 
Amp (<10k$) for Thiel CS7.2s
I would strongly recommend an amp by Classe. I have a Classe 300 and have used it with the MCS-1,2.3 the CS 7's and now the CS 6's. Classe and Thiel sound GREAT together and I would also recommend Audio Research pre-amp and MIT speaker cables. If ... 
AC Conditioners?
Monster is entry level. If you are worried about money then go wiyh Change,which is good,but if you are serious,go with PS Audio Power Plant. I have $30,000 in my system and for $895.00 it was my best move. Good Luck!!! 
Best upgrade for the money ?
Speakers are the most important piece in a system. I don't want to run Polk down they are pretty much entry level. i would sell them and try as you are trying to keep the price down I would listen to either the PSB Stratus Gold of some of the Vand... 
PS Audio or Richard Grey power Co.
Go to both there websites and you can get more info: I have the PS Audio 300 powerplant and it works great. I have not heard the Richard Grey piece but in a recent article in T.A.S. they rated the Powerplant ahead of the Power Co. But again thats ... 
considering maggie 1.6's
Hello, I have owned both the PSB Stratus Gold and now own the Magnepan 3.6's. I have listen to the 1.6's also. These are two different kind of animals. It depends on what you listen to. I find that rock and country rock sound better on a more dyna... 
Best DAC Under $5000 - Opinions Please
Mike , I prefer the Theta DAC's (I have the Theta Gen Va and will update ASAP) but everyone hears differently and it would certainly make a difference what equipment you are going to be running.Take your time,don't read reviews and go out and list... 
Options besides the PS Audio Powerplants
I think the powerplant is great. I have a Audio Research LS 2B pre-amp with a Theta Jade & Gen Va and Genesis Digital Lens. Everthing is balanced. The powerplant makes my speakers sound much deeper and with a blacker background. Try it ,what d... 
Thiel 2.2 power amp match?
LOOK FOR ANY CLASSE AMP YOU CAN AFFORD! THEY MATCH WELL W/ THIEL!! WHY DO YOU ALWAYS SEE A THIEL/CLASSE/AUDIO RESEARCH COMBO AT ALL THE SHOWS? CAUSE THEY SOUND GREAT TOGETHER. ALSO GET MIT CABLES TO CUT DOWN ON HIGHS. GOOD LUCK!
