| The new dynamic in speaker pricing Don’t care if you are rich or not, you are a certified nut to pay a million dollars for a speaker.....and even nuttier trying to justify it...nothing in audio is worth a million.... | |
| Good cassette player? A Nak bx100 can be had for cheap money on ebay, just make sure it is working. I’d send mine off to you, but it is in a state of disrepair...belts etc...all apart. Also have an Aiwa 770 and 660, both mint, I use them frequently. You haven’t heard c... | |

| Help me spend $6000 What I don't get is why do you have to ask anyone on here??? Is there not enough info and reviews to make an informed decision? I have never asked anyone on here what to buy....maybe it's me... | |
| a better interconnect cable Chord c-line and Atlas element Integra are all you need. Both are economical well Made cables and are neutral as can be....spending any more is waste of money. I’ve used these cables for years and have been very happy with them in my system. | |

I installed a floating shelf with integral pull out drawer under my turntable wall shelf, seems to work well for all that stuff....on top of floating shelf rests my phono preamp.

| Small Form-Factor CD Player/Transport The Cyrus Cdt...compact, sounds great. Yes, a bit deep dimension wise, but not very wide. A far cry from the full size audio lab it replaced. Freed up some space atop my audio credenza. Better yet, I got it brand new, $999...$300 off! I also use ... | |
| Recommend me a Class A Integrated Amp (or sound like Class A amp) How about the Sugden A21 or A21se? The A21se was $3250, could be a bit higher thanks to inflation. 30 watts pure class A 8 ohms, 40 into 4 ohms. A wonderful amp with great reviews everywhere....sounds way more powerful than those specs suggest. Yo... | |
