| What do you think of this power cord? Thank you both — I have my homework! | |
| What do you think of this power cord? @cakyol: I am interested in your comments regarding wire gage. I was thinking that 10 gauge would be superior somehow to higher gauges, and even the inexpensive Maze cable I asked about is 10 gauge. Then I took twoleftears’ advice and checked C... | |
| What do you think of this power cord? @masi61, I see you are in Dayton, OH too! Ever been to the Hanson store in Kettering? | |
| What do you think of this power cord? These abbreviations get me confused sometimes. I read “NOS tubes” and thought “NOS must make some fine tubes — so popular they are a rare find!” Then I see that meant “new, old tubes”. Not a company per se. And when they write OFC, I wonder w... | |

| Subwoofer Suggestion I bought 2 SVS sb2000 subs on sale for $650 each (price reduced when they brought out the sb2000 pro model). They compliment my Martin Logan 60XT towers. I set the crossover at 80HZ and let the subs handle frequencies below that. Room placement... | |
| Looking for tonearm inspiration You collect tonearms? And you swap them out to play? Just curious. | |

| My #@%$ Cat Destroyed My ARC REF 5SE. Soliciting Suggestions. @wharfy, Oh my, that must have been excruciating when you found out. One thing I learn here is patience . . what to do when something terrible happens, instead of going with your initial reaction (me).Im a novice, so pardon my ignorance in this ... | |
| Will a $700 turntable outperform a CD player? @cal91: Think of all the exercise you could be getting if you had to keep getting up to tend the turntable. As the old say goes, “Use it or lose it!” 😉😆 | |
| ...do great speakers increase in value over time in the vintage market? I think old speakers appeal to feelings of nostalgia — remembering good times in your life when you were rocking out and partying with friends or a special girl to speakers like these. It’s the same with vintage cars (you have to imagine if you w... | |
