| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? Nope !! My wife and I got the Marzipan LRS+, that is what my wife calls them, and we are still breaking them in, but we are really happy with them. Our first Dipoles, a little different than the Quads boxes, but really like them. Takes lots of pow... | |
| Martin Logan vs. Everything Gentleman, I have heard this debate before. Here is my 40 year experience with high end audio. It doesnt matter !!!! A well setup system with a box or a electrostatic, dipole design will sound great. I have heard both sound just phenomenal when s... | |

I bought my ONLY speaker without listening to them. They were Quad S2, and love them. They are not my primary speaker, but I... | |
| A Black Box to Solve Everything I'm not trying to be a wet blanket here, but why would I add another component in the chain? I happen to own multiple tubes, so play what you have, and be happy! JMO. | |

| what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history? Schitt Mani. B&W Matrix 804s when they were still made in the UK. Now, I wont buy Chinese made speakers. | |
| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? A lot of people are missing the point about the Gumby! I own one, and bought it used for a good price.What sold me over the other DACs is it is upgradeable. I can for a price, upgrade it when Schitt upgrades it. Also, I just love the proprietairy ... | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time I grew up with country music, from 60s on. My OPINION is its is nothing like the original. All you have to do is look at Dolly Parton and you can see the problem. She is so disingenuous, and obscenely rich, and there aint no soul inside. Just love... | |
