What was your latest LP find??
Musicdoc you know those ancient LP’s (they’re not even stereo!) cannot possibly be any good. However, since your an Audiogon member, I‘ll take them off your hands. In spite of the fact they’re “dogs“ :^). 
Do Sound Labs play deep bass in large rooms?
I own the Ultimate One Soundlabs and have them in a room larger that yours. Last week the two visitors listening with me remarked how wonderful my overall dynamics and bass extension was. While I am not likely to persuade them to change to U-1 Sou...

Biggest Baddest Audio Cables
Hugh_campbell, all the money were throwing away? Either you have not made listening tests on a high end system or don’t own a system capable of the resolution necessary. If your goal is sound quality equal to the best available in the 1970’s, then...

goodbye to vinyl. . . . grr ------ longish rant
