New sound immersion processes
Neither. Turn on my Symphonic cd, tape, radio all in one unit. Two simulated wood speakers. It’s actually cardboard. But 2 way!! Turn off the lights, hit play, recline my chair and enjoy. But I should really upgrade the power cable. I would pos...

Ed Sulivan, Lawrence Welk and Arthur Fiedler Boston Pops concerts.  On Black and White TV!  On the more serious side.  Adams Family, Munsters, Dobie Gillis, Hogan's Heros, Gilligan's Island... And the great Warner Brothers and Hanna Barbera Saturd... 
A public service announcement
"You have a turntable?" I would think Jdougs has 3 of them.  Good ones to warrant those cartridges.    
can you please help me around how to use my first tube amp?
Probably too late now.  The first thing I would do is to Open It Up.  Check for over heated resistors, leaking capacitors, burnt wires, dead roaches...  And while you are in there change the output ohms tap.  10 years.  Might start thinking of rec... 
New Cartridge
I have not heard the ZYX100. I think, I wish I was someone who can let loose with $2200 on an impulse purchase.  
Wilson to Tekton to ????
As long as the Moabs meets WAF, screw what they look like. It’s all about the Sound. Your listening experience. Life of an Audiophile is/are, Sacrifices. I think you will get used to them. Even if they were Avantgardes! (My personal opinion) It’s ...

Years ago, I had a cup of soda spill on my major rebuilt modified Stereo 70.  Almost cried.  But I had it all apart before.  Took it down to parade rest again.

How did I miss this thread? You already have a darn good turntable / audio system that you appreciate and feel the Need to purchase Quality Pressings.  I have a Symphonic All in One with no name cardboard speakers.  Secondhand store vinyl suits m... 
Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings?
If I see an ad and I feel the asking price is out of line, I disregard it. I have "low balled" auctions on ebay, "not tested" "not working" "sold for parts". Even if they do not state "open to offers", I send them a message. I state the possible ... 
Everything matter in the audio chain. Tests prove it!

What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world?
My vote is the Rogers LS3/5a.  Sounded darn good in the 80's when I first heard them.  Sounds darn good in my system now. Many speakers' great speakers have come and gone but the LS3/5a's have stood the test of time.
