Taking advertisers/sponsors out of the equation, restaurant reviews are a fairly good analogy. There are a few people whose opinions I can trust when it comes to Mexican or Thai food. I don't claim to be an expert, but I know that people having similar tastes to me when it comes to these foods...

From the review: "Even if the Clarysis Auditorium Plus does not make sense for your room, system, or budget, I highly suggest having the experience." Me says that's the kind of thing that will make a person crazy....

Thank you!

I couldn't find any info on the Evolution II power cord on Furutech's site. Everything else in the Evolution II line - speaker cables, digital cables, interconnects, etc.. looks to be meant for value-conscious people (like me). But it seems like you preferred the sound of the Evolution II over...

That is SO true. I remember coming home from a dealer after auditioning equipment that is many times the cost of mine. With the memory still fresh from that session, I sat down and immediately gained a new appreciation the sound coming from my modest system. Maybe it was pride of ownership and...

Good eye, Michael!

Michigan is still a nice place to live. I lived in Texas from 1980-82, and there is a lot to be said for southern hospitality. Not to mention (*I need to be careful here, and this is an observation that is not meant to be sexist in any way) what I consider the most beautiful women in...

I should have mentioned that. I am in Michigan. It seems like the pandemic may have re-wired a lot of people's common courtesy codes.

Much obliged, Bones!

What a listen! I've been digesting it in pieces, but my goal is to get comfortable and listen to it from start to finish in one sitting when time permits. Again, Thank You!

A belated thanks for all of the information. It's been a rough patch financially for me due to some medical issues lately, so buying the CD's is not an option at this time. (Too bad, because the prices that he asks for his CD's are more than reasonable.) Another inconvenience: I have my...

Yes, I had seen that piece a while back. The minuet seems like a must-audition when the finances allow for it.

Just watched it. It's nice for us on the consumer side to get a taste of what people in the industry are thinking. Adam's comment that he thinks most of his customers are music lovers first, as opposed to audiophiles, is encouraging. I believe I heard the overarching goal of providing...
