FYI, I bought my Quadraspire stuff from Larry not Steve "Jumping" Jackson at Audio Works. Larry does not jump around.
Steve is a nice guy though who knows his stuff - except anything remotely related to Neuro-Linguistic Programming techniques....

There is the big brother but I don't recommend you try that at home. If you do you could be breaking one of the golden rules of hi-fi...
