If boulder is tops what is second tier?

Sorry Pedrillo, Boulder is not at the top of any list except extremely expensive for "decent" performance.

The owner / designer is the same person that told me in his room at CES that ALL cable and ALL power cords are BS, they make NO difference and anyone that says otherwise is fooling themselves.

How can you take that kind of designer serious?

This happened several years ago and I am still mad, what arrogance. Fortunately the company sharing space with them took my advice and never showed with them again.

Albert- no doubt he has been breathing fumes from Peter Aczel of Audio Critic infamy.

Just because some audio magazine rag says it is the best, does not mean it is true.
