Class Action Suit against UPS?
Fed Ex claims vs UPS claims--------------------We had one ship claim in 2000, and it just happened to be with Fed Ex.They are being very difficult with this rather small (under $300) claim.They seem to have adopted the practices of RPS, a company ... 
Class Action Suit against UPS?
Fed Ex dos not "cost more" than UPS.Compare FED EX 1, 2, & 3 day to UPS 1, 2, & 3 day.Compare Fed EX ground to UPS ground.Same prices, more or less, and Fed Ex is often LESS.If you ship fragile equipment that isn't packed well (and often e... 
Bi-wiring speakers
Waste of $. We tell people this and they rarely listen.Their speakers are bi-wireable, so they think this is best.Dunlavy, Sonus, Genesis, and others agree.Speakers are "bi-ampable", and somehow this has changed to "bi-wirable".Also, few people kn... 
Any UPS horror stories?
You get what you pay for. You want to pay for cheap ground service? Well, cheap service is what you paid for, and that is exactly what you will get. Do you also go to McDonalds and ponder why your $2.99 meal didn't quite get your 5 star rating? Ch... 
Has anyone heard of LA Audio?

Has anyone heard of LA Audio?
You would be surprised at how many hi-end high dollar items use (mostly) off the shelf parts (especially certain cable brands). You also might be surprised by the shocking variance there is on the retail of certain products vs what they cost to ma...

Muse 18 VS. Genesis 900 Sub
The Muse sub is being discontinued becuase it costs to much to produce. In 9 years of production the price went up about 12%, while other products have MORE than doubled. If you're willing to pay "$2000" for a sub, you'll have a problem with this ... 
Best A-D converter
Yes fellow audiophiles; A-D not D-A! Best out there? Probably the Muse Seven (this is what your Chesky CDs are made with). I have heard the Wadia, it is not so hot, not up to par with their D-A's. The Apogee's are avery good. 
Center for Cornwalls
Klipsch front chnls need to be used with a Klipsch center chnl. Horn front chnls used with a non horn center chnl can be a serious matching problem. Sensitivity is also an issue. Many (most?) Klipsch models are over 100db. Matching this with a non... 
Classe Omega vs. Krell FPB600
We are not a Classe', nor a Krell dealer. We had a customer trade-in the Krell 650M mono amps towards a Classe' Omega. We have heard both, on various spkrs. The Classe' wins in every way (including: build quality, reliability, and resale value).
