| Cary V-12 blowing capacitors Dennis manufactures amps under Inspire name. Check various forums, someone there may have contact info. I see his amps periodically sold on ebay, don't see any at the moment. He seems to be keeping low profile these days, suspect he makes small ru... | |
| Capacitor R, you continue to claim all boutique caps colored and distorted. W/K/V no coloration, only accurate. So, everyone using colored boutique caps has defective equipment which requires colored, distorted boutique caps to sound natural. So, now we've ... | |

| Power conditioner some say yes and some say no. I've auditioned or owned a number of pc over the years, ps audio powerplants, Audience Adept, Shunyata Hydra.
