AC Power 101
Room treatments and upgraded associated equipment (none of your stuff is even close to the level of the speakers) would make for a far greater improvement than a dedicated circuit. Better speaker placement would also help -- and your amp needs bet...

You could always find an ad for these amps, call the person and ask for an audition knowing all along that you won't buy his or her amps and then, if you like them, buy them from a dealer or direct from the manufacturer.

Stan: Thanks for the thoughtful response.

In the post above, I left out the word "business" after successful. It's been a long day.

Stan: It's not really clear what you're saying. Based on the reports of the bad sound in the Usher room, perhaps Usher needed to concentrate more on being audiophiles -- and making sure its speakers sounded as good as possible. Without that, it wi... 
Audio Research SD135 vs 100.2
Retail on the SD135 is something like $4,995, but you certainly can get a better price than that. And it's just a superior amp -- worth the extra bucks, in my opinion. Regardless, it's good to see an ARC solid-state amp get some respect. The D400M... 
Audio Research SD135 vs 100.2
What, no comments from anyone? How about dealers? Is the long-in-the-tooth 100.2 really better than ARC's latest greatest? Am I the only one who has heard the SD135? I just find it amusing how any 100.2 advertised here is sold within an hour when ...

Gundam91: Uh-oh. People like Stehno will be blasting you for bashing NuFarce, the best electronics ever.Anyway, it's really foolish to show gear at events that draw hundreds of dealers and audiophiles and not spend the extra effort to ensure that ...

Interesting. So is Audiooracle's feedback. Also, knowing what's at stake, why would Usher effectively sabotage itself?

Zenblaster: Did you hear Totem's The One or was it the Rainmaker? If it was the Rainmaker at a fraction of the price, that's pretty impressive.Dkzzzz: Have you heard the Be 718? How about The One? What's your reference system? Thanks. 
Selling to Canadians
Bdgregory: I agree. The internet is great, but for some things I prefer getting the information from a real person. Nice system. 
Selling to Canadians
Mr_Man: Please note the response from Markphd. So you can see there is some confusion as the representative failed to mention any other insurance options. So my reaction seems pretty reasonable. 
Selling to Canadians
Mikeyc8: It has to do with a person employed in customer service not being able to communicate. She couldn't understand my wife and my wife couldn't understand her. So we're not certain about the accuracy of what she told my wife regarding the $67... 
Selling to Canadians
Thanks everyone for all of your insight. Here's something that's very strange. My wife called the USPS customer service department today and was told by a woman who spoke with a heavy accent that the insurance limit is -- get this -- $675. So that...
