Please Help Me Choose a Speaker Cable
in this price range from Audioquest and the likes, nothing is worth !!Nothing will come close to beat the Flexigy 8 from River cable; ridiculously good for the price. Tried and tested against several supposed high-end mainstream cables, and would ... 
What is most important part of a system?
i've read, re-read, experienced and re-experienced, it is the speakers.Put a great system on stupid speakers = stupid resultPut an average system on good or great speakers = it raises your system up!! 
Agoners: Need Advice! Have 3K to spend on an Amp, what do I do with no way to audition?
i dont see how you can get any of the amps you listed for 3K, even second hand. If you want one that does it all, does it well if not very well, will last......., and stays in the 3K, there is the Benchmark AHB2 which is just quite incredible. How...

Budget Audiophile Looking For Amplifier Suggestions
at that price, i would go for a good Marantz in the upper line, little else will beat it at that price, unless you can find an old XA.30 Passlabs or a FirstWatt.

XTZ Divine Alpha, just coming out now, just got my pair, will beat any speakers on your list on any point, and many many speakers costing twice and thrice!! no joke. It is not well known in the USA, I dont know why exactly (they sell direct to cus... 
My journey to search for standmount bookshelf speakers...
For a budget of 2K, i strongly doubt that you will find anything better than the XTZ Master M2. This swedish designed speaker has just about all the qualities to a level really unheard of for a bookshelf at this price, including esthaetics as a bo...

Something just isn't there
