Wilson Sophia 3
I have owned in succession the Sophia 1's, WP7's/WATCHDog, MAXX2 and now MAXX3. All of them had a flawless quality finish. I have never heard of or seen complaints of finish issues in talking with many other Wilson owners either, though I am sure... 
Has anyone tried the Shunyata Diamondback PC?
Nico, please e-mail me offline with product questions. I travel and cannot check forums regularly. I also do not want to use forum space for general commercial product info. The short answer is the Platinum model was a more recent product run that... 
Has anyone tried the Shunyata Diamondback PC?
Mcondon, much worse has been said of the performance of many commercial products than your comments above. I have absolutely no problem with you sharing your opinion and experience for better or worse--it is why I read the comments in the first pl... 
Has anyone tried the Shunyata Diamondback PC?
Ok Ack, no one is making up stories so relax. My 'almost all" comment was made without looking at their site and I did not know Elliot at Innovative was still a dealer. We are represented by Overture in Delaware and Goodwins in Boston who are like... 
Has anyone tried the Shunyata Diamondback PC?
Mjordanas, You are correct about the connectors. We did not make schuko AC molds because at the time ('04) Europe was an emerging market and these cords have to be made in enormous runs to get decent pricing. I believe we will try to do this in th...

>>>How is Shunyata's technology really different from Kimber's?<<<Ray makes great signal cables and offers real-world pricing. Hat's off, they are fantastic products. However, outside of the color coding in some of the cables and... 
Dark Side of the Moon 30th Anniv Album
I don't know much about the 30th Anniv. LP but I was lucky enough to hear the SACD-DSD Hybrid version in 5.1 at Phillips Crest National Studio in LA. They mass produced the DSOTM SACD's commercially. Crest's massive 5.1 Eggleston, Halcro, EMM sys... 
Is Hi-fi getting more expensive?
Well, the replies sure are certainly entertaining and vary almost a-z in extremes. However from my experience the truth-- and usually the best values lie in the middle.Most manufacturers I know and talk to --numbering in the dozens, are fully focu... 
Wilson Sasha , Avalon Indra or Magico V3?
