| The Big Boys vs. the Little Guys Ramstl- They hold there own too! Great homemade cables, oh wait that was cable you were referring to when you said roll your own-right?!?!? ;) | |
| The Big Boys vs. the Little Guys I used little guy(tekline) then went to big boy(cardas) now going back to little guy(jena labs) and am staying here for a very long time. If the Jena cables had a big name on them they would sell for 3-15 times what they do now, I am happy they ar... | |
| Voodoo in Ann Arbor The mid-fi shops that think they are high-fi are way to into themselves. The one near me sells at above list price(no exceptions), and is full of salesmen peddling monster cable- and they are always claiming they are "serious" audiophiles. For eve... | |
| WEL -- Wife Equivalent Language Esoxhntr-Your not suggesting a trade with another mans wife are you? ;)My girlfriend always reffered to the tubes in my amp as the "glowy things". Other then that no problems, just tell them how to play a CD and they seem to be happy Seeing as my ... | |

| Passive, Balanced, Remote Pre? I would go with the placette RVC(remote volume control) balanced it would only be $1800, and would everything you can imagine and more! Mikelavigne uses one in his system(which many call the best sound they have heard ever) and it is I believe the... | |
| Levinson 390s vs Mephisto II From what others have told me is the mephisto II sounds better then the levinson but not by much. However the Levinson is very user-friendly; that is not saying the mephisto is complicated but the levinson has some great simple features that make ... | |
