Let's forget about being politically correct
Sean, i have been gone a few days and have missed many posts. I enjoyed your 4/11 post. I have always thought you to give an honest opinion as you see it. I believe as you that we have more in common because of our love of music. I think your peop... 
Let's forget about being politically correct
Thank you Sean for taking the time responding to my post. I know you are not calling me a liar or inexperienced as you have always shown class and one who very much likes to help others with obtaining better sound. I disagree with much you have sa... 
Let's forget about being politically correct
I often wonder why many think that tube gear means a high amount of maintenance, reliabilty problems, and poor bass response. Good tube equipment can be as reliable as good SS. The idea of changing tubes every 3 to 5 years may cause some to shy aw... 
Equipment racks: Symposium/Mapleshade
I have the Mapleshade brass triple points, maple boards, High hats, and those cork things. I have heard very expensive racks that don't sound as good as what mapleshade offers. Not a bad way to go. I have them loaned out to a friend. It is a bit c...

Review: FIM, & Manley Neo Classic 250 Gold Cables, Speaker cable
Hi Stealth, you ain't heard nothing compared to what the FIM speaker cable is all about until it has fully broke in. If you think the speaker cable gave you all you have described, give the FIM PC a try. It is one of my favorites. It does need tim... 
Music Reference RM200 or David Berning ZH270?
I agree with JD about the Music Reference products but the Berning ZH270 would be my first choice. You may never feel the need for another amp for many moons. Mr. Berning's amps are among the best in sound and reliability. No need to say more. Kri...

Stands or feet for Thiel 3.6
Hi Gnobber, please give the Sistrum speaker platforms a try. Maybe someone, someday will build a better mouse trap. Until then the performance with these platforms may be the best investment you could make with the possible exception of moving up ...

Thank you Sugarbrie for your opinion that i share and one that makes sense. I cannot see how your opinion can be argued. And when it is argued i am unable to understand.Great post. When buying a speaker audition amps. If you have an amp that you w...
