Comparisons of Audience and VH Flavor 1 PC's
Jayctoy, on what components have you used the VH Flavor and Audience cords? 
Power Cord Flavors
One of the many things I'm struggling with in introducing my own line of pc's, is how to accurately market the cables to those people who have systems that will benefit the most from them. I certainly am not going to be one of those cable makers t... 
Any VAC Phi 30/30 Owner's?

Your best picks for 2006 Best Speakers under 4K.
I would like to refine the question to full range loudspeakers...those that go down to 30hz minimum. Could be floorstanders or monitors.Maybe this could be a subset. In any case, it'd be helpful for those making recommendations to specify whether ...
