| cones under your tube amps?? Yes, it's worth experimenting with cones. The results canvery by product but the potential for improvement is significant Particularly good cones can be found at theMapleshade web site. | |
| Tube upgrade/rolling question Try the Mapleshade brass dampers and then the differenceswill be trivial. | |
| Music everywhere, too much? To me it's a question of quality and good sense. A lot ofthe music around is really just noise. No lasting valuewhatever. | |
| Recommend speaker cable for Bi-Amping I've seen some Audio Magic bi-amp cables in that rangewhich is an unbelievable bargain. | |
| Please recommend SACD player under $6K - "warm" Why not get the Audio Research CD-3 II and forget the 'stinkin' SACDs? | |
| Best Power Conditioner I have used the Stealth with great success and highlyrecommend it. I was amazed a few days ago when I tried theStealth in combination with the Richard Gray 400. I alsohad Bybee modules installed in the power amps by Great Northern and that also ra... | |
| Mapleshade Silclear I can certainly believe what you are saying without yet trying it. The reason is that I have used most of the other Mapleshade tweeks with significant success. An unrelated"WOW" that I just came across is putting a Richard Gray400 between the Audi... | |

| ARC LS15 owners comment /upgrade? Going with Steve at GNS is a total 'no-brainer'. I have an SP-9 III that got the reference upgrade. It is now truly a reference piece, and I can only imagine what he could do with an LS 15. | |
| Help me to tame brightness Mapleshade.com has some remarkable tweeks that can tamebrightness in many cases. I have found that the more definitive the system becomes the more willing a person has to be in working with the source material. Fortunately, there are some great tw... | |
| Are internet sales taking business or not? Yes, without question. I should also note that few high-endretailers have been able to stay solvent (even before thecrush of the Internet). It's a tough business!! | |
| Telarc recording quality Telarc as well as many other audiophile labels tend to be amixed bag. Yes, the nuances are there with a terrific S/Nratio in most cases. What I often don't like is all theclose microphone effects which can bloat the size of instruments and voice. ... |
