| Mapleshade Single VS Double Helix Speaker Cable I prefer the double, feel it is well worth the cost, and I think the plus is also worthwhile. Not tried the bananas, but very good experiences with Mapleshade customer service. | |
| Primaluna ProLogue Five VS. Classe CA-150 The CA-150 came out almost 20 years ago, if you like it a lot, maybe some new caps and a servicing will get the sound you want... | |
| Receiver The YBA is the YA-201, the YC is the matching CDP | |

| Best cheap speaker cables............again I am very happy with Discovery Essential with my Haydn Grands. | |

| Mapleshade Double Helix spker cable: Rating?? Great cables and the plus is worth it. Work fine with 6 ohm speaker, tubes or solid state. They weigh almost nothing so even overseas shipping is pretty cheap. | |
| Advent Model 300 tuner/receiver I just took mine off the shelf, hooked it up to a pair of Realistic Minimus 7 Speakers (modded crossover) and it sounds great on my local classical NPRÂ…thanks for the reminder |
