Furutech Nanoflux speaker cables
Extrapolating from Furutech balanced ICs like Reference III, which cannot be reversed for obvious reasons, the filter would go at the source end, as @roxy54 said.

@mulveling, great post.

Congrats! I’m sure they will sound terrific. I owned pre-Alnico Omegas years ago; they were beautifully made and exceptionally coherent with excellent presence, if a bit bass-shy. No doubt the Alnicos are much better, esp with the sub. I’ve actual...

I’m leaning pretty heavily towards a used pair of the Tablette 10, maybe the Sig version. The Devores are intriguing but probably more than I care to spend on this little system.

@grislybutter, wow, that's great! Thanks!

This thread has spurred me to think about finding some little bookshelf speakers to use in my gym/shop. My needs aren’t much different from the OP’s, so I hope I’m not hijacking the thread. The speakers must be: less than 12-in high, because they’...

+4 on the P3ESR. It’s an excellent sounding little speaker and IMO beautiful in Rosewood. It is not exactly balanced, having a bump in the lower midbase, but that bump would work for you as a desktop speaker, supplying a pleasing low end that rema...

@audio_rd_uk, thanks for following up on the 12-in Agile. Your rig looks sharp in the vid. So it seems you found the 12 to be slightly more relaxed and less dynamic that the 9.5, which is not unusual. I have 12 and 9 Graham Phantoms (III and Supre...

@audio_rd_uk, my mistake. I appreciate the clarification on slight variances. @neonknight, great to hear how satisfying this new set up is. That’s what we’re all after.

@dover, that's really interesting. Thank you. @mijostyn, it's hard to believe you ever nap!

@audio_rd_uk : Thank you for your extensive comments on VTA, which I think were directed at me rather than @neonknight, since I opened the can of well-worn worms on adjusting VTA by asking about the dial on the Agile. I certainly appreciate the ri...

@neonknight Ah, I see. Is the grub screw adjusted with hex key? Using a ball-tipped hex key makes it easier with a recessed armboard, since you can insert it at an angle. My armboards are like that, and my Graham arms have a tiny grub screw to loc...

@neonknight : Thank you for your comments on the Agile. Good to hear that you like it. Being one of those benighted users who still changes VTA for varying record thickness, I’m curious about your thoughts on the VTA adjuster. In practice, does th... 
Hot off the press...Technics SL 1300G
Wow, that’s too bad. JP refurbished my EPA-100 in Feb, changing the bearings and wire and fixing the bias, among other things. It sounds wonderful. He did say he was going to close in April but I thought he meant for vacation. Now I feel extremely...
