Equalization for vinyl nirvana
All recordings are flawed. Some are worse than others. EQ is just putting a bandaid on a wound. I never use it! Learn to accept reality!  
Synergistic Research Galileo SX Power cord. (Opinions on sound quality appreciated).
@steakster : so do you take a custom hose with you when you go to add gasoline to your car? In the belief that it will improve gas mileage? That is exactly what the belief in an "improved" AC cord is: A DELUSION! 
Can someone please explain
All of these terms are just "poetic license"! I'd rather look at frequency and pulse response, polar dispersion and power handling. Speakers that measure better will sound better. Unlike electronics speakers haven't evolved  to the point where the... 
Marten Oscar Duo BIG BARGAIN !...
A bargain at £4950? Take out a second mortgage!

The sound of an electronic component starts with the voltage and current coming out of the power supply. Not with the wire from the AC receptacle.  
Sellers: When do you drop your price?
I recently sold a pair of Klipsch Heresy's on USAUDIOMART. Took about 2 weeks. Local pickup only - $525. When the buyer arrived he offered $500 - which I accepted. I reminded him that all the Heresy's on eBay were going for $700 - $800+ with shipp... 
Rogers LS/35A Classic Mini Monitors Reviewed ! WOW
The Rogers sold new for $450 back in 1976/77. Who then knew it would become such a desirable classic? 
Rogers LS/35A Classic Mini Monitors Reviewed ! WOW
I have a pair of the original Rogers LS3/5A's. Bought from an eBay seller in Lithuania (!) for $960 (including shipping). These are the later 11 ohm version. The autoformer inductor used in the crossover of the 15 ohm versions was apparently too d...

That cabinet is sufficiently large enough to work well sealed with that woofer.  
Turntable recommendation
Pioneer PLX1000 - $700 + free shipping from various on-line sellers. I have one with a Denon  103R mc. It has an excellent review from Herb Reichert in Stereophile a few years ago. 
$5k-$6K DACs w Roon?
Why spend that much? Get a Soekris for $899. Quite advanced circuit design! 
My System's Weakest Link - What Say You...
No. 10 is what I would change. For the money the largest pair of Ohm Walsh speakers would be an ear-opening experience. 3 - D imaging from any spot in the room! No need for subs. I have a smaller pair and they indeed have the magic of placing the ... 
Mytek Empire with GANFET MODULE
Another Wonder of the Week product. Yawn! SS amplifier design has been a mature technology for several decades now. Will this new product surpass a Nelson Pass amp? I doubt it! 
Musical Fidelity M6si cracks and pops and then nothing. What could it be?
That is the sound of dying power supply caps! Get them replaced! Do not use the amp until this is done! If you are handy with a screwdriver and a soldering iron you can do this yourself by buying new caps. Save the high labor cost plus shipping!
