Why do you never near anything about Spectral

SHUNYATA power cords price increase
Thanks, Tplavas, I'll add the name to my business card. The few (3 models) power cord price increases occurred last September, when the new Helix Series of power cords were introduced (they are more expensive to hand braid than older models and us... 
About the new Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 8
KeithR, Spot on comments. I would _never_ have purchased the 5.1's or 6's as they weren't my cuppa', I found the mid-treble beamy and the upper bass pronounced. I liked the Audio Physic sound (Old V. Caldera). The Sophia changed all that, and I we... 
Longer Power Cords Sound better?
Thanks Alex, Regarding 1meter or less, we get at least 2 dozen direct queries (phone calls) a year for one-meter or less PC's, maybe half of which are asking after less than one meter.These phone or e-mail queries are all directed to me and I do m... 
WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value

WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value
>>>"No one is bashing Wilson, just trying to put things in proper perspective." <<<I'm still chuckling at that comment. Obviously, you haven't read the thread through, or decided to skip over the posts that were full on baseless ... 
Longer Power Cords Sound better?
Hi Zaikesman, Caelin's recommendation of no shorter than a 1 meter length has to do as much with practicality than anything else. Although shorther than three feet essentially just adds connecting points and puts you kissing distance from your Ro... 
Your Favorite Austin City Limits

About the new Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 8
The high-end is a small community. There are many good, even great speaker designs out there at all manner of price points and for all tastes. We should celebrate that we have so many choices rather than attack lines we know little to nothing abou...

Longer Power Cords Sound better?
