klipsch heresy, please be critical
There are TONS of low cost modifications that you can do to the Heresy's. The end result is a speaker that is FAR smoother and more natural sounding while still retaining all of the dynamic punch that it currently offers. If your interested, email... 
Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ???
Like i said, don't knock them until YOU have tried them first hand. Until then, you're simply speaking out of ignorance with a complete lack of experience to support your statements. You have cited NO factual information in ANY of your "tirades" e...

New Stereophile recommended list

Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ???
Since i started this ruckus, i might as well add my findings to it. Thanks to those that understood where i was coming from and took the time to share their honest comments. As mentioned, i wanted to get "the straight dope" from everyone first-han... 
Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ???

Counterpoint SA-3.1 and 5.1
As someone that makes a living doing modifications on electronics, it's very easy to take a basic design, alter components in terms of values, parts quality, etc.., re-align & fine tune the new stuff and end up with something completely differ... 
My overlooked cheap tweak

How much does your system retail for?
Yeesh.... WE ARE SICK !!!! Reading all of this and figuring out just one of my systems really puts things into perspective. My "little" system in the computer room ended up at just over $18,000. With four more systems to go and two of them being W... 
Dealer Price "Wiggle" Room
Here in Chicago and the surrounding areas, we have over a dozen decent stores to choose from. Most of them will discount a little bit on items here and there. Obviously, the more that you spend either on a regular basis or on "one big shot" will g...

Which Amp Where?
Jack, i ran a Yamaha M-80 for a short period of time and found the meters to be extremely "loose". According to them, i was constantly hitting 500+ watt peaks at very reasonable listening levels. I would disregard the meters completely and go by w...
