    As title says. I have not seen a decrease in Euro audio product prices. But when the Euro was stronger, their prices did rise.

    Prana wire

    I have heard and read some great things about Joe Cohen/Lotus Group and especially their Prana Wire. Well, I just bought their entry level Deva interconnects, and it has elevated my system to another level. The increase in detail, musicality, bass response is awesome. It is by far the most...

    I might be crazy but i hear better in the dark

    I don't know if this has been covered, and/or I am crazy, but I hear better in the dark. My ModWright Oppo 105 has "pure music" where the front panel lights are turned off, and I then turn off my Runco plasma monitor. I think it is pscho-acoustic, but I can concentrate, therefore, hear better in...

    Giant killer: The magnus ma-300

    After doing a lot of research, my next amp purchase took me by complete surprise at how good it sounds. It is the Canary Audio/Magnus MA-300, a 600 watter for my Venture speakers.

    Is it "whats best forum" , or what's more expensive

    PLEASE, take this as a personal journey, and not as an attack. I sold some very expensive gear ($32K Burmester 911 MK3 and $18K GNSC Wadia S7i). I look at some of the SOTA prices and cringe. Not because I can't afford it (I can), but because I seriously wonder about the bang for the buck factor...

    What is wrong with me?

    As much as I love the pursuit of the high-end, and buy and sell to try and accomplish my audio goals, I sometimes get reminded why I am in this game. What brought this on? I have been actively involved in several threads regarding some SOTA gear, resolution theories, and some serious audio...

    For tube/ss lovers: Where do you feel tubes should be

    What I mean is for some of us, we like to combine tubes and solid state in the same system. Personally, I prefer a ss amp with a tube preamp. I realize recently the lines have blurred between the two camps, with each taking on some of the characteristics of the other. I have heard sota tube...

    Has anyone compared/contrasted the LS, LSX and LSX V2 with the new boards? I am hard pressed to imagine a big improvement on the awesome CF-080 LX2. Sorry for the LX2 typo in the title.
