Well Ace, put on your brass cup and nomex underwear.

I never tried the mapleshade stands, though I saw their description and claims for it. I have a pair of Mapleshade Clearview Double Golden Helix Plus Speaker wires and think they're the best I've ever heard. The consensus here is that all speaker wire is essentially the same, and I'd guess the mapleshade stands would be put in the snake oil category as well. Hope you're not funnin' me with your positive review.

Enjoy the Music. Trust your ears. Laugh at Folks Who Claim to Know it All.
