What is your take on Mapleshade products


I've talked to the designer before and he seems to know what he is talking about. My only concern is he says they have compared their products to products costing 10 times as much and there products win out everytime. That sounds more like a sales pitch.

I have not used his wire products but do have almost all of his recordings which I enjoy very much. They have a great sense of realism and are extremely well recorded (IMHO)...
I'm generally skeptical, but I own many of his products and CD's. I have been very satisfied with all of them (power conditioner, ic's, speaker wire and equipment rack). In particular, the modified Scott 222c I bought some time ago, is extraordinary. I own several expensive amps, including Leben and LFD and the Scott performs with the best of them.
Their Ionoclast CD and LP zapper may be the most amazing low cost tweak I have ever used. And Pierre always has time to talk with his customers...
I use their ICs, speaker cables with both tube and solid state systems and now have Samson rack for my tube gear. Great products that are well designed and manufactured.

Not voodoo by any stretch. Unless, of course, you have never heard nor used their products...
sales pitch? you're kidding right? Anyway, after doing my homework (price being a factor, isn't it always?) I decided on having a rack built to my exact needs. Chris, the owner of Timbernation is a good guy and an amazing craftsman. Very reasonalbe prices and FREE delivery. Audiopoints and Herbies add a major price tag to the cost of my three shelf rack, but there is no way getting around that if you want Chris to build your rack. I had the Audiopoints drop shipped to Timbernation. I love the look and he will do the shelves to any size/thickness you want. I went with 2 inches thick, but four would have been better, but not with this wife.
