| Triode Wire Labs Spirit II XLRs and DH Labs Revelation XLRs: a comparison I believe you. There is usually very little difference in SQ between ANY cables. Form factor is often more important. | |
| Volume levels Gain only variable by 6dB. | |
| Volume levels A cursory glance at analogplanet’s .pdf seems to ignore surface noise. What are the best examples (stats) of this floor per dollar spent for repro (TT +) equipment? 25+ years makes it somewhat irrelevant as far as format comparisons. | |

| MoFi Studiodeck The VM750SH gives you even more. | |
| Do You Buy Speakers Without Hearing Them? Only once but it was a good buy. A great review in IAR that sounded (SQ) fine. More telling is the homemade pair. My two main pairs were acquired after schlepping the same records to dealerships. | |
| Sony HT A9 for music Sony HT receivers gets 0 love around here but I enjoy 2 of them. |
