Oyaide outlets
Hi Seekburk, I'm curious what Oyaide outlet you chose and how it's working out in your system? 
Has anyone compared Oyaide against FIM
Robert Maicks is the president of Star Sound Technologies( at least he was when I last talked to him a couple of years ago). I had a FIM outlet a while back and for my system it was a little too warm and slightly lacking in dynamics. I haven't tri... 
What outlet should I choose.....
I have Porter Ports in both of my systems. I'm very happy with their performance. When you buy new and cryo'd, allow a few days for them to break-in and acclimate.

Furthest reception from your tuner and how?
Bio, I think you are going a tad overboard with the criticism of the fmtunerinfo site. They don't all just like Kenwood. There is one guy, I believe named Jim Rivers, who evaluated a variety of tuners in his own personal system and he happened to...

Product Review - Supra Sword Speaker Cables
That's hilarious, Krellman, about wanting to flip the LP. I can relate to your experience. I'm happy to hear that you are enjoying your new speaker cables. It's a great feeling to get your system tweaked to the nth degree where you are just enjoy...

Another word that has bothered me is "slam". When I read a review that this amp has slam or the bass has slam, what the hell does that mean? If the bass has slam is it also "gut-wrenching"?

merlin tsm`s on target stands?
Capt, I have bought many things audio from Canada. I've never had to pay import fees. I believe it's Canada that pays the import fees on things we ship to them. The only thing I would be concerned about is the reputation of the Canadian seller and...

Should we thank The Absolute Sound for giving us "Yin" and "Yang"? I always resented these words in describing equipment.

Would someone tell me what the term " fleshing out" means? I have an idea, but I'd like to get some opinions. Used in a sentence, " As the days and hours passed, the midrange slowly began to flesh out."
