| Pass/musical fidelity for focal scala I find all purchases are exciting, even with experience. | |
| Sold speakers you really enjoyed?... But why? Sold my Wilson Audio Witt MKII speakers paired with a Pass Labs X250 to see if I could down-size and still enjoy the music. What was I thinking? That didn't last very long. | |

| mold removal Thanks Photon46. I'll more than likely discard the sleeves now, since they may cause trouble with time. Better to clean the discs and keep them that way. | |
| Your favorite album cover... King Crimson, In the Court of the Crimson King | |

| What was your first 'hi-end' system? @Dpatterson, a friend of mine had the 1060 with a pair of large Advents that sounded great! I loved that little blue light on the 1060. I eventually ended up owning about a dozen of the '70's Marantz units over the years. Tuners, receivers, amps, ... | |
| What hooked you to audio? In the early '70's I met a fellow who had a Kenwood integrated amp driving a pair of JBL L100's. Can't remember the 'table. I fell in love with audio then. I remember doodling drawings of Marantz separates, JBL's, etc. Had the bug bad. What impre... |
