Mapleshade tweaks

Pierre and Mapleshade recommends connecting powered subs using the speaker inputs instead of the rca inputs because of many hours of listening/testing. Their claims of greater coherency and blend with the main speakers seem correct. My ears concur with their findings. They Mapleshade recordings are excellent as well.

"RCCC - Blanket pronouncements with no backing facts are utterly useless. We might as well be on a Y@hoo message board." There hasnt been one fact presented in this thread,just opinions. The beauty of Mapleshades claims is they cant be measured or proven or apparently even shown to be worthwhile by consensus. If you used their products and they work for you then they work for you and thats fine but it doesnt mean they work. I have a good friend with a very nice system that swears by their products, he's happy and thats what matters whether I think he's delusional or not. However my opinion is based on the same kind of "facts" and I still think their stuff is snake oil for the most part.

Only ok not Great.

RCCC Can you show us an example of a thread here on Audiogon that does not contain an opinion by someone ? I will further state that a debate with you is not of interest to me, for I am on the same side of the fence as the friend you speak of. Why does all this bother you ?

I wanted to clarify one thing. I believe in tweaking, but Mapleshade is not the only alternative.....
