| Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report I can’t believe no one has mentioned what were to me easily the best sounding speakers at the show—-the DejaVu Audio Western Electric Horn/open baffle speakers and the EMIA room with Double Double Quad 57s (literally 8 Quad electristats in the roo... | |
| Furutech FP-3TS762 or FP-TCS31 Several cable manufacturers and Furutech retailers say that once you get to a certain level of cable quality the connectors make a bigger difference than the cable itself. Since I have been very pleased with all of the Furutech power connectors I... | |
| BE VERY CAREFUL OF YOUR DEALINGS ON AUDIO-ASYLUM I have had a number of transactions using Audio Asylum Trader, both buying and selling, and they have all gone smoothly. Ironically all of my dealings have been with private individuals, and you would think that was more risky than dealing with a... |
