PC: Synergistic Tesla, Lessloss, Transparent MM
Liudas makes an excellent product, has outstanding service, and he cares about his customers. IMO, the Lessloss power cord was well priced at $500 and very competitive with more expensive cords.Unfortunately, he has devalued his product with this ...

Ouch. 
Help. Thor owner messes up
I agree with the blown fuse theory. 
SS Amp for natural vocals
04-01-08: Tomcy6Tvad, How did your Belles compare to the Pass amps? How did the midrange including vocals compare?No one would believe me if I said the Belles and the Pass were close, but they are...particularly when the Belles are used as monoblo... 
fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones
I have two 8A slo-blo, 5x20mm Isoclean fuses I don't need them any longer. One is new and unopened. The other has been used for about 20 hours (does it matter?), and comes with the original box. 
SS Amp for natural vocals
03-30-08: StehnoI'd put the Nuforce SE-V2 Class D amps right at the top of any list.While quite good, the NuForce Ref9SE V2 didn't measure up to my Belles 150A Reference monoblocks, which were bested by a Pass Labs XA-30.5 Class A amp. The NuForce...

It will be hard to trust any reviews now knowing they were bought.Hi5harry (System | Threads | Answers)Exactly. Any subsequent Lessloss reviews are paid advertisements. Nothing more. 
Bananna plugs
03-31-08: EldartfordTvad...Bare wire has a definite cost advantage.Well, sure. It's a matter of perspective, I suppose. 
Bananna plugs
I like the convenience of banana plugs, and I can't say I've noticed any appreciable difference between bananas and spades (or bare wire). 
KCI Pure Gold and the benefits
We also have a great little interconnect using Silkworm technology but with pure copper instead of gold and this baby sounds excellent!Johngp (Answers)As I am in the market for balanced ICs, I look forward to checking out the new copper versions.

03-31-08: SherodI don't own any Lessloss power cords, nor have I ever auditioned them, but here is a new promotional price "if" you post a review within the first week of owning them. Yeah. It's a bit irksome for those of us who paid full pop a fe... 
Please suggest integrated for large space
Sure thing, Stuartk. Perhaps, order one Force XL for the 30 day trial just to hear how your system might improve. It's a no-lose situation (other than the cost of shipping).Also, ACI has info about how to connect a sub to your integrated amplifier... 
Help shipping a speaker over seas
I wouldn't do it. Nothing gets damaged as often during shipping as loudspeakers.However, if you proceed, I suggest shipping only using USPS Global Express Mail, and packing the speakers as bullet-proof as possible (preferably using the original bo... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Any thoughts?Rydenfan You will surely hear something different, and you will likely order more.The crystal ball is now cloudy... 
Please suggest integrated for large space
03-31-08: StuartkShall I assume that you agree with using a sub rather than going to higher-powered amp??? I believe adding a sub (or two) will give you more benefits than will a higher powered amplifier, because of the limitations of the smallish...
