| How many dealers do you use? Sorry but I see a bleak future for small, high service, stereo focused dealers. | |
| What are some of the better tuners out there? I have the equipment and skills to do a complete alignment. Anyone that wants the best out of a vintage tuner should seek out an experienced tech to do the same for yours; well worth it.With that said, of several tuners in my home, a completely re... | |
| What speaker do you passionately want to demo? I sure love that soft dome in my ATC SCM100ASLT speakers. I look forward to the results of your fun experiment. | |
