Ceiling Exhaust Fan -How loud is .5 sones?

Are "good" cables needed for vintage system?
I would not go crazy, keep cable purchases in line with the value of the rest of your system. For well constructed basic cable, go to Bluejeans cable. They are cheap, nice construction wire based on Belden. Typically their best quality 1 meter as ...

Tweeter or Woofer connection with single wire
