| Looking for recommendations for a pair of full range speakers for ~8k or under You can buy a pair of previously owned "new" Quads for about $5K. I'd take a pair any day over any of the above dynamic speakers! I presently have two pairs of the 57's for stacking. But I recommend the new versions made in China - better build qu... | |
| Sony TA-N9000ES versus Sony TA-N80ES Keep the TA-80ES! Both Sony amps are excellent and competently designed! I doubt anybody can tell them apart! Why spend more money again for nothing more than confirmation bias? The shiny new toy is always more enjoyable - for awhile at least unti... | |
| Looking for a turntable around $1k... Pioneer PLX 1000 for $700 + free shipping from various online retailers! Add a good cartridge and you will have a TT setup that compares well with far more expensive ones! A $90 Grado is good to start with. I use a Denon 103R mc cartridge ($300) o... | |
| Turntables.....A point of diminishing returns? At least an expensive TT requires considerable production work compared to a phono cartridge! | |

| What are Your Favorite Tweeters? The 48" ribbon used in the Carver Amazing Platinum and Silver hybrid panel speakers! The Platinum was particularly impressive with its vertical array of four 12" woofers that could go down flat to 20hz! | |
| What are Your Favorite Tweeters? Fuzztone: I will second that! The Janszen D-130 is a remarkable add-on electrostatic tweeter. Popularly used back in the day with AR and KLH box speakers. I own a pair! | |
| What are Your Favorite Tweeters? The cone-shaped Walsh tweeter atop the Infinity Monitor speaker from the mid-70's. An omni that had the best room-filling dispersion! I owned a pair way back then. Now I have another pair to use! | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables If you say so! | |
| Strange looking vinyl Yes, but the Tower Records resealed LPs had a noticeable seam along one edge! An astute customer would notice this! | |
| PCTI tonearm by rauliruegas NO! |
