| Speaker Cables My observation was that the Home Depot wire is better than the spools of... what was it 20 gauge? 22 gauge? Two conductor wire that was the only readily available wire 30 years ago. Generally good to hook up a system that wasn’t likely to improve ... | |
| Which pre amp do I keep, Perraux SM-2 or Plinius CD Lad I’m not sure anyone can help much. It is the one you like the sound of most. | |
| Turntables.....A point of diminishing returns? I’d like there to be a point. But there really isn’t at this point.
