Also tried doubling up on some of them. Early on I had more traditional speakers (Reynaud) and later various vintage wide band drive... | |
| How To Keep Cat Off Stereo Equipment? All of my tube gear is located in a closed hall closet located behind the speaker wall (speaker wire runs through the wall to the living room). If this is not option then look into a closed/doored ventilated cabinet/rack. If a cat PP's on a live... | |
| Turntable weight affects speed How heavy is the weight? My weight (TD125 MkII) is a 45 adaptor attached to the flat side of a medium-small brass Mapleshade cone (3 tiny spots of poster tack) and the total weight is approx. 8 ounces. The DIY weight is as symmetrically balanced... | |

| If I wanted to make my own speaker cables, is this a good choice for wire? For single driver speakers I suggest using solid core copper (one run for +/one run for -). With cables 12' or less stay in the 22-26 gauge range unless if you want a "less full" (thinner) sound then go 16-20 gauge. I use 47 Labs OTA (26 gauge s... | |

| JM Reynaud Magic Stands V1 versus V2 Yes, obvious. I didn't try the Magic Stands @ home until months after I owned the Twins. I did audition them with the MS's and they sounded great in the dealers very nice/purpose built listening room. The heavy Target stands in my setup offered... | |

| What should my heirs do to dispose of my vinyl and CDs? I've been sorting through gobs of paperwork lately (life insurance policies and money accounts that I never got around to updating since getting married 31 years ago). Maybe once this is all straightened out I may think about the HiFi music stuff... | |
| 47 Labs Stratos OTA vs ribbon 4719 speaker cable The 4708 (26 gauge) is a bit more brittle than some of the other 20/22/25.5/26 gauge solid core copper wire I've tried. In my case the wire has been broken (@ the speaker post) a few times by one of our cats. I noticed that one speaker was "out"... | |
