Help pick next speakers: Have Paradigm, Totem
How close to the speakers is your listening position? I think this might influence how well the Forests work for you. Not to mention power rating of the 2 channel you ultimately get. I own them but have them in a 15' x 13' alcove that opens on one...

Raks - thanks for the tip on "Lost Highways". I'll check it out. 
What matters most for an enjoyable home listen?
From the Neil Young biography, "Shakey" a phrase from David Briggs, "...the spook.". As in, ",,,it got to have the spook....". Relative to Mapman's original #1 and artistry, for me, artistry must include something transcendent. Highly subjective, ...

Copper foil
Muralman1- OK...looked up your system. See that you used the foil to make speaker cables. Still not clear about 2130 H, however. Thanks for posting it. 
Copper foil
Muralman1 - sorry, no...2130H doesn't mean a thing to me. But I guess I'll be searching on that! My curiosity is certainly up. Would appreciate learning more about this DIY. I take it is a kind of "tweak"? 
A Newbie's First Week Impressions -- Vinyl Rules
I enjoy both vinyl and digital formats. I hope you will check out the KAB Evo record cleaner. In addition search for the vinyl "steam cleaning" threads that feature Crem1. I use a multi-step procedure for cleaning LPs. Google: Audio Intelligence r... 
Copper foil
"I just added a single tail copper foil to the negative side of my speakers...".Forgive my ignorance but what is this DIY about? Thanks in advance. 
Reliable tube integrated for $1000
I second Bombaywalla's JoLida recommendation - not to dismiss Cayin or PrimaLuna. Have had a 502B for years now. It was my introduction to tubes and I am very happy with it. It has been very reliable. Yes, bias is manually adjusted but that is not...
