Info on Threshold s/150
Threshold in my opinion blows away Aragon by a far margin. All Threshold is solid state. The S150 is a class A/B amplfier producing 90 Watts RMS at 8 ohms per channel. It has 8 high speed 200 volt,20 amp rated devices per channel.Power supply is a...

DCM Timeframe 500

Clayton Audio M70 mono blocks Any Info??
Yep the price is solid at $1200.00 the pair went to look at them. The guy needs cash bad looking for quick sale. However in my opinion do not compare to my Threshold Class A. Could be the speakers he is using or the preamp. Preamp is a ARC SP8 if ... 
Clayton Audio M70 mono blocks Any Info??
My neighbor advises he can get the Clayton M-70s the pair for $1200.00 used. Should this be a valid consideration? No way can he afford $4600.00 or $2400.00 for the others. He will be driving Acoustats that I located for him. These ESLs demand pow... 
The best sounding FM Tuner is.....
Price/Performance ratio at about $200.00 used,I would pick the Yamaha T 1 or the Sumo Charlie,and for a third choice the venerable NAD 4020A.To do better than these will have to spend a lot more,for performance that is for the most part only margi...

Mid 1960's equipment - Scott, Garrard,
My best advice on these is to use them and enjoy them for what they are. Scott equipment today not bringing much on used market,same for the Garrard.These were basic mid-fi products of that era. 
Top Ten Speaker Cables of all time?...
Still using vintage 10 gauge Monster Cable from 1982. Not made anymore by Monster Cable,or at least I cant find them in current catalog. Probably better out there,but still satisified with these. 
Top Ten Interconnects of all time...
I will have to nominate the Superconnect IV from Musical Concepts. Have owned many of the cables listed above. But these cables are the best kept secret in all of audio bar none!!. And at their price point,they are the only contender PERIOD. Give ...
