Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck
An extruder is a very sophisticaded machine--a good one will cost about one million dollars. My last job was in idustrial inkjet sales, mainly to the extrusion industry (yes, the coding that repeats itself on and on and on...).Quite the contrary, ...

Wire/cable is an *extruded* product. A $7,000 interconnect is robbery anyway you put it. Doesn't take much to figure that one...

I am sending a pair of Marantz Ma-5 Class A Monoblocks (SS) to Stephen Sank for complete overhaul pretty soon. Right now I'm using my oldie but goodie Proton AA-1150 Dual Mono. I just hooked it up to a ONEAC 1.2 KW isolation transformer--it's soun...

I got them!!! Dan did a *superb* job--in fact, he told me yesterday that they turned out better than he expected.The speakers have increased bandwith, dynamics and low level resolution. Vocals have gained a visceral, penetrating quality. Speed is ...
