According to the latest hifi magazine review of the CLX, all different versions of the CLS suffer from a degree of edginess to the treble, uneven upper bass as well as a dry bass. I was wondering if anyone here agrees with these observations?

Does anyone here have any experience with installing Blackgate capacitors in their power amps? I have just bought a large batch (20) of these caps to install in my Odyssey Stratos Monos Extremes. They will be replacing Nichicon and Sanyo caps. What sort of improvement can I expect to hear?

Hi I've just made changes to my hi-fi system (MEMBER SYSTEM #30 CLS IIz, near bottom of page 2). I was wondering what you thought to it. I've added a new equipment support, projector and screen. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Years ago when I purchased my Moth Monoblock Power Amps I noticed the LED light on the front of each case was not working. However, I was blown away by the sheer cleaness of sound they produced so I forgot about this niggle for a week or so. Eventually I had the amps shipped back to the...
