Compact 7ES-3
"Your Compact 7es3s will be as good as your Jolida. Now the saga begins."Decipher please. Is it "the speakers only sound as good as what's connected to them" thinking, or affirmation that the Jolida is a worthy ally? Does "saga" quip suggest I've ... 
Compact 7ES-3
My Compact 7's are coming. The larger models are more appropriate for where I'm now living, but I do plan to be able to sell my house at some point in the near future and move to a place with a more Compact 7 friendly layout. Diverse opinions on a... 
Skylan stand for Compact 7 ES-3
I received an email from Noel today. He offered advice on affordable stands. Definitely a class act that guy. 
Another sign SACD is dying
"..I even love the rounded jewelery case"Yes. Loke those Telarc jewel cases. All CD cases should be thus. Since forever have been sick and tired of the seals they put on CD's for USA consumer consumption. For many years I've cussed the "good for s... 
Any High-end speakers "kid-friendly" not fragile?
Kids? What age? If they can stick bobby pins and paper clips in wall sockets no speaker is safe from them. I had a kid who figured out how to remove those safety outlet covers. If they are beyond the age of self-electrocution they are entering the... 
very small speakers
I second the suggestion: Silverline Minuets most definitely if your listening room is not to large. Disclaimer: I own the Minuets and they kick many pricey speakers into the ditch. Caveat: The diminutive size and vinyl covers repel style conscious...

From tiny Silverline's to slightly bigger PSB's
"What don't you like about the Minuet that you think the PSBs will improve?"The Minuet is an over achiever, but it can't fill my large listening room. This is not the fault of the Minuet, it is user error in not matching a speaker to listening spa... 
Help interpreting tuner specs
Thank you for the responses. My thirty-two year old tuner recently has some modifications and an alignment by a respected broadcast engineer and circuit designer. 
which speaker cables to buy?
If you're a person of modest income like myself who prioritizes family needs and buying quality healthy foods, I'd just buy cables from sellers like Blue Jean Cables (and the other sellers out there that sell decent, quality cables sans the bluster).
