HELP Electrocompaniet stole Christmas
JCBtubes very insightful response. The story that I am told by Alan is a little different but that is not the heart of the matter anyway. I have no idea what actually took place and I will be the first to state that I would have handled it differe... 
HELP Electrocompaniet stole Christmas
Since it seems that many people want me to respond to this issue I will but only as an overview of what has been stated to date. I have not been able to reach Alan to get his reasons although some are obvious and I feel that I have no right to spe... 
Red Rose Anyone?
There seems to be a great deal of confusion about the Red Rose products so hopefully I can clear up some of the confusion.There is the original Red Rose tube line which is a joint venture between Audio Prism and Red Rose. The Audio prism tube line... 
Anyone ever repaired a smashed dome tweeter?????
You will find that in time with playing it will probably go back to its original shape. If it still bothers you we purchased a toilet plunger that we use for that purpose alone. Go purchase a plunger and it will pop it out.Good luck. 
Pass Lab X250 or X350? Which one sounds better?
All the pass amps are wonderful and they are now going to have a version of the X 150 with the same faceplate as the X 250 and X 350.Theoritically the X 350 having a little different design should be superior but they sound so much alike you will ...

Looking for a great XLR Digital cable
Jon we have done a lot of shootouts between digital cables and the Designer Reference Square X by Synergistic Research has been the favorite in our shootouts. We do alot of vocals being that we are heavy into Singer songwriters.Hope this helps. 
What are the perils of shipping worldwide?
Just have funds wired to your bank account and there is no peril. Freight lines such as Pilot Air, Adcom, Yellow Freight etc. can take care of the shipping. It is a good idea to have them supply pallets and have the speakers banded on pallets. Muc... 
Talon Khorus x or B&W 802
I am also a Khorus dealer and let me make a few comments about set up. The room size is not as critical as the fact that these are a rear ported speaker and do need to be placed at least a few feet into the room. Also they require a great deal of ... 
Power Cord Lenght ? Better shorter or longer?
On some powercords like the filled Shunyata cords it makes a bigger difference than say the Electraglides or Synergistic. We have experimented with many powercords and on every single brand that we tried a super long powercord it was better than a...
