  Holography is nice but not a must.  My system images very well and that's enough to keep me seated for hours at a time.  I have a garage system comprised of a set of Advents I refoamed and recapped powered by a Sansui SA-7500 integrated with a t...

When did good gear start getting your attention?

Fastest way to correct hifi system?

Can upgraded power cords help my setup?
Just because some can't hear a difference doesn't they don't work.  Try some to see if you can hear a difference.  I've tried things that didn't do a thing for me, but work great for others.  Just because it didn't work for me doesn't have me prea...
