Comparing Speaker Cables
I just did a similar test by connecting sets of cables to A and B outputs and then to the speakers without removing jumpers. I am able to just flip the switch on the amp from A to B and back in real time and not disconnect and reconnect the cables... 
You own a store, you sell 2 brands, which?
Luxman and FyneGood price points and performance at all levels 
What Integrated Amp do You use
@emarcano I also have the 505UXII and love it. Pairs great with Fyne Audio.  
CD Player Recommendations…
I recently replaced my Rotel 1072, which was a great workhorse and excellent sounding player, with the newer 1572. Aside from a few picky things, this player took my already awesome sounding system to a new level. 
What Integrated Amp do You use
Another Luxman here. After many years of separates, VAC-Counterpoint and then VAC-Odyssey, I decided to simplify and also get some missing features like the killer Phono section.505UXII driving Fyne Audio F502SPs with ease and authority. 
My Fyne 702a
Congrats on the Fynes. I took delivery of a pair of 502SPs earlier this year and have been thrilled with them. They did change several times during breakin and after a few hundred hours they settled in nicely.Lively, killer bass, lots of detail an... 
VAC preamps - too expensive?
I am late to the party, but have owned a VAC CLA1 MKII Dual Mono Pre Amp for many years. I am the second owner and other than Tubes, it has been in use and sounding fantastic for many years. It now resides in System 2. I believe it was around $450... 
What tracks offer the best left right separation?
Most old Allman Brothers have a different Drummer in each speaker. 
Integrated Amp Choices
I have the Luxman 505UXII. It is amazing! I am driving Fyne Audio F502SPs with ease and control. The Phono section alone is worth it and probably cannot be beat for less than $1200. It has HT Bypass, Tone controls and Loudness if desired (I don't ... 
TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ?
@yogiboy The 501SP and 502SPs are both also made in Scotland, not China. The ones made in Scotland are works of art. The veneer used are consecutive slices so both speakers look identical as much as two slices can be. They are built as a matched p... 
TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ?
I can tell you that the new Fynes are awesome. I have had a pair of 502SPs for 3 months now and they are just fabulous. So different than what I was used to but in good ways. Vocals are lifelike, Bass is deep and extended with good resonance of st... 
Fyne Audio - Anyone heard lf it?
I have had the 502SPs for a few months now and they are awesome. Mike at Suncoast made it happen. 
Question for those with Tannoy experience
I can second the Fyne suggestion after living with a pair of F502SPs for 3 months. Absolutely Awesome!
