Dark Side of the Moon - Is MFSL really all that?
I have the MOFI half speed mastered from 1979(?) as someone else mentioned that pressing. That one is GREAT. I have purchased several copies of that one. I also had the Toshiba PRO, and various other pressings; not sure in my memory right now. I a... 
Shorten my speaker cables?
Hi: There is research that short cables work best for BASS frequencies. Hence, subwoofers with Amps built; in sound pretty good with out a lot of other technology built in there. I guess if I was building from scratch I would take that into accoun...

Why do I keep torturing myself with remasters?

1 pair of good interconnects- which 2 components should I use them on?
You are right about the PH3. I must have written that poorly? I do count the cables as part of the Phono - section. Since that seemed to fit the best use for them, I needed a "Box" for two pair of idle RCAs.  The cables were an estate situation fr...
