If I remember correctly Quad UK charges a bit over $100 for a similar service to their power amps. Some years ag... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable I think I let them continue to rip off people like you. I have better things to do, and unlike in the US, there are no damages to be had. | |

| Copper vs Optical Fibre Archimago has measured the various interfaces, and usb turns out to be best, followed by coaxial, followed by optical. The differences only seem relevant at higher resolutions. See here for some of those measurements (but dig deeper and you wil fi... | |
| American Made Audio Unveils New Site For Made in USA Components Yup. And the subsequent analysis of comparative advantage by Ricardo is classic. More recently, Paul Krugman is also worth a read. | |
