the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile
We used to cut out of school and go to 34th street in Manhattan and look at the JVC MC70 back in 80s.  Then it just got worse. My Dad had the Cerwin Vegas and dual cassette Akia

I’m a fan of morrow cables.  You have to catch their catchy sales though.   I find them right in the middle of not too bright but revealing… go with their better line and you won’t be dissatisfied   
I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring
@Sqared80 You honestly do not believe that speaker cables and inter-connects are nonsense snake oil do you? I have personally been doing incremental upgrades over the past 3 years and have to say ; it all matters. Some things more than others an...

Focal Sopra 2’s vs. Legacy Focus SE’s
Well after about a year these speakers have just gotten better and better. They are probably not fully broken in but shine already. I and a friend have many pair of PBNs for sale. If anyone has an interest reach out. Great speakers and priced well
