| Distortion with ARC Ref 150 and Maggie 3.7 "All I get from the town is water and they are billing me $10,000+ for property tax and RISING. Can you say Detroit!"And the water is probably not very good. I think you should consider drilling your own well and get rid of the town altogether. | |

| Is high-end audio dying, if not dead already??? "10-21-14: TatersA lot of the high-end is about ego. I can afford it and you can't."I hear that one all the time but no one can ever give me an example. Most people have no idea that high end audio even exists. If someone wants to show off, there'... | |
| Krell amp upgrade question "Why is the KSA 250a/3 "definitely better than the Showcase"?"The KSA has a lot more power. I've heard the showcase strain under loads that the KSA would not. I think it sounds better, as well. | |
