| US only sales WHY??? I can understand sellers not wanting to sell outside of the United States. I have sold overseas and have had a few problems with the countries of Italy, Argentina, and even Canada. It takes forever to get the shipment through customs. I sent a pow... | |

| what is the theory behind maple stands and racks? Steven, I am curious as I have a maple platform for my power amp and was under the impression that the Maple did absorb the vibration created by the amplifier and any external forces. If the vibration is not being absorbed by the Maple or the comp... | |
| Best driving music. I second Radar Love by Golden Earring, makes you want to put the pedal to the metal! Also like Deep Purples "Highway Star". | |
| Need to finally replace my 8TC, but with what? How about Kimber 12TC? | |
| New to tube rolling, where to purchase tubes? The sites below are reputable tube dealers that I have used in the past. I have never heard any Japanese tubes of which Matsushita is one, but the more sought after 6DJ8's are from Amperex (Holland), Telefunken or Siemens(Germany), and Mullard (En... | |

| What component should be on a walnut board? I think the CD player because it has moveable parts is probably more in need of vibration control than the other components. You only have 3 components and 2 platforms, so just play musical components until you find the combination that impresses ... | |
| How can a subwoofer expand the soundstage? I think that this is the result of the powered sub handling the frequencies that sometimes cross over to the midbass and midrange and allowing your power amp to handle only the higher frequencies. | |
| How can you tell if a recording is in mono? Mono recordings present the same sound from both channels, there is no separation of voices and instruments, it is all unified in the presentation. If you are getting Trane in one channel and drums from the right with piano in the middle, that is ... | |
| Can you Analyze this? They also have bikes that cost $200 and probably resemble the $1,000 bike to a large degree. How much different is the technology to make the $200 bike from the $1,000 bike? Parts aside, can it be that much different? It must be in the ride!When y... | |
| Speaker connections: Spade vs. Banana Plus I second the response of Missioncoonery. I have used adapters to correct a similar situation and have not been able to detect any change in the quality of sound. It was the same as before using the adapters. You can always remove the adapters if y... | |
| Which cable has most impact - IC, Spkr., power? Shandorne's post makes a lot of sense but I have to agree with Joe also. Even assuming that one has the finest AC power and the perfectly constructed component, one would sense that one cable has a greater influence on sound than another cable. I ... | |
| What should I do? Jack, I think that the 16LS is a better sounding preamp than the 17LS, but I don't know about the 17LS2. The 16LS had a lot of the ART technology in it's construction. I have read that the upgrades from the 17LS to the 17LS2 are like night and day... | |
| What should I do? I think that you would be better off with a Premier 16LS. It may cost a bit more than the 17LS, but it is the better preamp. You would do well with the Calypso as well. |
