| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? The "market distortion" aspect as suggested by @hilde45 has merit in my opinion. Here’s this audio market where everyone plays nicely and introduces "new products or new versions" with incremental price increases of, say 10%-20%. Then, out of nowh... | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? @hilde45 Very good points. Well stated. I think it is interesting to point out that, typically, "high end" audio is sold thru a dealer nietwork. So? The dealer is the manufacturer’s "customer". And, the end user is the dealer’s "customer". Whi... | |
| Modifying Crossovers A quick story: I was a audio dealer, speaker designer, and still currently involved in audio service and performance upgrades. Years ago I attended a convention and had a heart-to-heart with one of the most successful speaker manufactures of the ... | |
| Premium Power Cable Survey: The Results Are IN @waltersalas Reminds of the time I was "inquisitive" about a car and decided to check it out. Then, when I got there, I remembered I had my checkbook with me. Lesson learned. I'll make a point to leave my checkbook at home when I audition the F... | |
| Premium Power Cable Survey: The Results Are IN @waltersalas Looks like I missed something "interesting" with the deleted post. Guess I need to check for comments more often. Very nice system by the way. Haven't heard the Fynes, but the "speaker geek" in me was doing cartwheels. They're p... | |
| Songs with excellent advice? @macg19 +1 | |

| Mcintosh C15 - Your Impressions and Matching Power Amp @oddiofyl Cleaver username. I trust your ears (and brain) and your observations may be spot on. This is a great example of why we do audio forums. Somebody has a question, then others with real hands-on experience share their thoughts. T... | |
| Premium Power Cable Survey: The Results Are IN @waltersalas It feels good to be appreciated 😇 | |
| odd question about stand-mount speakers Sounds like an intersting experiment. If the speakers are ported, you might want to be careful. You won't want the music to fall out. | |
| Mcintosh C15 - Your Impressions and Matching Power Amp @ram18 Nobody can read your thoughts and understand the motivation behind your consideration for the C15. If it’s bang for the buck (or, more correctly, sound for the buck) there may be better choices. If you are okay with part of your equipment... | |
| I feel it is time to upgrade my 1977 system....... @glm911 First off, congrats on 46 years of musical enjoyment from your system. That's pretty amazing in itself. You've gotten some very good advice here. "New stuff" sounds great, and bang-for-the buck (or is that sound-for-the-buck?) pegs the n... | |

| Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive? @samureyex I'm nodding off just reading your reference to "Exploring Quantum History". I'm brewing some coffee as we speak. Got a lot of day left. Those "universe stuffs" programs can be a bit of a mine field. While mostly calm (read: bori... | |
| Is a home theater even worth it or doable? @kota1 Yes, I’ve been too lazy to get my system profile(s) up (5 total). Sorry. My HT set up is essentially at Kaleidescape-based system with big Marantz receiver, B&W’s all around (ATMOs) and Sunfire sub. This is what I settled for after re... |
