corporal punishment has too many obstacles as it is, the 8th amendment for one. It would get racialized immediately, and every SJW and civil rights group/activist would be in streets burning it down.

Having owned A5s, then Kef Blade Meta and now Vivid Giyas, I can concur with the OP. They're all exceptional on paper but very low in sensitivity. They need 300 wpc to come alive, and they all compress dynamics when pushed. I'm still waiting for the perfect compromise, a speaker sensitively...

thats a nice flex, Mike. Congrats to you and the owner!

If you go back to the earliest issues of TAS, Jadis was always portrayed in an exalted way. I dont think HP ever encountered a Jadis piece he didn't love. I always considered it as aspirational-level gear. I finally acquired a few pieces some years ago, it didn't disappoint.

If the new owners are in China and they own the IP, what's stopping them from moving the whole kit and caboodle to Asia.

The Jantzen's are film caps vs the stock caps which are electrolytics, I would think it's a step up. The pics online show the stock crossovers filled with electrolytics and iron core inductors. Using them for the lowpass filter (bass drivers) isn't necessarily a detriment, upgrading to air core...

I have hand written receipts from Chad dating back to '87. We've had calls that went 2-hrs, it was very personal in the early days as we're both about the same age. I watched his growth from the front row, as it were. He bought collections from me but I bought way more from him. I witnessed his...

I shipped an RCM to someone that was home, he got the Fedex sms the package was 'delivered.' By the time he got to his front door, in minutes a porch pirate had made off with the box. The buyer filed a Paypal claim and notified his CC co. to stop payment. PayPal sided with me, I still had to...

Still wondering if anyone filed a claim, be it amps speakers or whatever comes in twos and boxed separately. Did you insure each for the aggregate value and were you compensated for the entire amount as if both were lost? Knock on wood, I haven't had this problem (yet). Somehow this devolved...
