| What's your favorite $5-7000 turntable? In my main system I'm using a Michel GyroDec that I bought in 1983. It has a Linn Ittok LVII arm with a Grado Reference Sonata. The Gyro has been brought up to the latest specs. My secondary TT is a restored Thorens 160 with a Rega RB330 / Ortofon... | |
| Outlet - Shunyata vs Hubble 20 amp I'm using Cardas outlets and I'm very happy with them! | |
| Phono Stage Question..... I can't speak into the comparison but I just finished a secondary system using a Sutherland 20/20 with the outboard power supply and I'm very happy with the results. I'm using an Ortofon 2m Black / Linn 330 arm / Thorens 160 combo into a Cary SL80... | |
| What did your system look like 30 years ago? I had to do some thinking on this one. I sure wish I had photos of it. I still have the Gyrodec /Ittok with a newly ordered Sumiko Pearwood cart.

| Best speaker cable for Maggies??? I'm running a 2M pair of Cardas Cross out of my Mac MC202 into my fully "gunned" MG12's. I like what I hear. I was running Cardas Quadlink 5C when the 12's were stock. You can pick up some good used buys on either of these to stay within your budget. | |

| What's the oldest piece of gear in your system? This is an easy one. In my two channel system I have a pair of Dynaco MKIII's that have all the Curcio mods installed. They are driving a pair of Magnepan SMGa's. | |
| Audioquest Cheetah- Anyone? First I will admit that they are way out of my buget but as for an opinion. Just what I wouldn't want, another battery to worry about. I have enough trouble keeping up with the bateries in my remotes much less worrying about them in my interconnec... |
