Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil
Great posts Teo. As on the money as it gets. Waiting to hear the counterpoint from the pseudo-scientist skeptics, but guessing the same old arguments will be put forward. I use lifters in my system. The original thought was to use them to properly...

Cables cannot "change" (for better) the audio program At least you are right about one thing. However, they can, and all do, take away from the signal that is being sent. That is without exception. The best cables take away the least or inject the...

I served almost 10 years in the Navy so there is no need for you to lecture me. You took the thread off target by claiming to be offended. You made it about you by commenting on my post.  If any comment, such as those you routinely make, is direct...

What you say and how you post is classic trolling. Posting something provocative for the sole purpose of obtaining a reaction. Pretty much the definition to a T. I am sure your tender feeling will require that this post be deleted, but at least yo...

Do you know other members well enough to call them foolish, delusional, ignorant and all of the other things that you repeatedly call people? Have you personally experienced what they have with their systems in their rooms? When does the shoe you ...

My stereo system is Oppo-105D/Emotiva XPA-2/B&W 803s.  I could spend 1000% more and MAYBE achieve a subjective 5% improvement in overall SQ That pretty much says it all. No bias there what so ever. Congratulations on reaching the top of the... 
Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably?
I believe the Aragon 2004 and 4004 were both introduced in the late 80s. Very well built, reliable amps, and a step up from Adcom GFA 555 IMO. 
Hearing is believing?........power cables.......
Absolutely right Schubert. We have a handful of pointy heads that showed up here recently that believe they know it all and are out to save all of the audiophiles in the world from themselves.  
Tekton Impact
Not true. Pricing on the website as follows;DI: $3000 base, $3300 upgradedElectron: $2750 base, $3050 upgradedThe drop down on the DI defaults to base price and the electron defaults to upgraded price. The Electrons are indeed smaller and lighter....

WORST Experience Ever in Dealing With Woodbridge Stereo NJ
My experience with both FedEx and UPS is in the 90% plus success rate. I agree with Swampwalker that the majority of those issues are with the larger, heavier items. Neither UPS nor FedEx has been better the other at avoiding damage IME. 
Signal Cable -- High End Generic?
I never said it was a crime to outsource wire and make your own product from it. With few exceptions, that is exactly what cable makers do. You are correct, he still lists what his wires are made from. Silver Resolution is Frank's top cable lin... 
Signal Cable -- High End Generic?
chrisr, I would love to see some proof that Frank does what you describe. Not saying it is not true, but it is the first I have heard of it. Which of the companies you name makes his Silver Resolution wire? If you have no proof, you shouldn’t go t... 
Rythmik subwoofers?
1 is a pretty small sample size to determine reliability issues with a company. I bought an F12SE used about 3 years ago and have never had so much as a hiccup from it. It has been a reliable and excellent performer for me. Just my 2 cents worth.
