| Stereophile I've subscribed for 5 years with 2 moves and they've always come through. A few have arrived about a week after it hit the newsstands, though.But, overall, no complaints. BTW, I live in So. Cal. | |
| D.H.LABS CABLE Sorry Jeff.I did purchase them from you. They sound fantastic and the build quality is top notch!!!So folks, It's Jeff @ Value Audio. | |
| D.H.LABS CABLE I upgraded to Q-10 Bi-wire from Kimber 8VS. The Q-10 is definitley a step up. Tighter bass and a little more defined mid-range. Highs sound about the same. FYI, I have them connected to B&W CDM 7NT.The cables were purchased from Jeff at Soundv... |
