| What process do you use to purchase cables? Short of buying cables at the dollar tree, I’d say most are a safe bet. Me, personally I prefer UK built and engineered cables of a modest price. In fact, most of my components are built and engineered in the UK. I happen to think that the UK prod... | |

| Townshend Springs under Speakers Man...this thing is still being discussed....wow...if you needed springs, I would think the speaker manufacturer would have provided them or somehow implemented them into the design. Still ain't putting slinkies under mine. My tannoys sound great ... | |

| Townshend Springs under Speakers My speakers disappear without any springs...its hogwash....save the springs for an automobile. Last time I checked, I was not driving my speakers down a bumpy road...🤪 | |
| Mono cartridge recommendation I bought the stereo/mono switch from sweet pedals...30 bucks....however, I will at some point pick up a grado mono on the cheap. | |
