| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Is this such a shoestring operation that they can't hire *one* more person to deal with phone calls, orders, posting on A'gon, etc.?I mean, are there units of the original Equi=core's still being manufactured? By whom? What about QC? I was seri... | |
| $20K to spend on speakers…. . wait! There’s a catch! With 20K you can afford a bit of a loss. Buy the used, and if you don't like them, sell them on. You're out, what?, 1K for an extended home audition. Compare that to what happens, cost-wise, if you don't like the new ones. | |

No idea what language this i... | |

It’s totally normal for our Bifrost and Gungnir DACs to click (mechanically, from the chassis) during normal operation. That’s the muting relay, doing its job. It clicks whenever the ... | |
| My speaker quest You might try to hear the Vienna Acoustic Liszts. Speaking as a ProAc and PMC owner, I liked them a lot. | |
| Opening a can of worms What this does is call into question the notion of the "sweet spot", at least as far as cables are concerned. No, not your listening chair, but rather the price point in the "family" of products where performance and price are best balanced.If yo... | |

| Please suggest bookshelf with best bass response under $4000 pr. The Totem Mani-2 used to have the most impressive bass I've heard out of a monitor-sized box.None of their current stand-mount options are specified below 40 Hz. | |
| Switching to solid state amp? I ran an Ayre AX-7 for a while. When I inserted a Rogue CMII into the system, the Ayre got relegated to the secondary system. | |
| $3000 Speaker Search Given your preferences, I recommend you try and listen also to Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Baby Grands. There's something very special about that model. | |
