In this order:1] Driver integration (if that's not dead-on right, nothing else matters)2] Total lack of treble fatigue3] Tonal saturation (aka timbral accuracy)3] Sufficient 'weight' across every frequency4] PRAT5] Dynamics6] Soundstaging...and th... | |
| Your choice of the most "inert" cabinets ? Those of us who've been in this hobby long enough know that 'resonance' is not a bad word when it to comes to speakers. Am listening to Govt Mule Live now, and my Spendor's resonances sound good as %$#&. | |
| Marantz SA 8005 break in Get yourself a CD6005 for CDs…it's a great player with zero harshness, just smooth, enjoyable sound. | |
| High end UPS for Expensive audio eequipments APC S-10 or S-15. Proven, dead quiet, reliable, and not a rip-off like so many power conditioners are. Get one and don't look back. | |

| Durand record weight ha ha ha ha - and other crazy thing Stupid is stupid, whether one is rich or poor. And yes, $3500 for a stupid record weight is stupid. | |
| Mellow speakers IF you can find Spendor 1/2s or 100's, they will also do it. Both are mellower than the Vandys in the upper mids/treble. | |

| Best Component Ever, for the money NAD 7225PE receiver I bought in 1991 for $349...Musical, dead quiet, reliable, dynamic, smooth, and with an incredible tuner to boot. Still "does it" for me 25 years later. | |
| Atmasphere amps trustable? I came home one time, and I found my M-60 Mk II's in BED with my Spendors...I will never get the image out of my mind, and I sold them both the next day. By far the most two-faced, untrustworthy amps I've ever bought. | |
| What to do with bad recorded CDs Easy solution... buy speakers and equipment that are non-fatiguing and that allow you to enjoy every recording in your collection. Sadly, some of the most highly touted brands out there do a poor job at this. Avoid those brands and/or models withi... | |
