Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably?
I really enjoyed the classe Dr9, super smooth sound.  Also , the Nad 2200PE. The Nad was the first amp I ever had, I really enjoyed it. Obviously there's better out there, including the classe is much better, that being said I really loved the Sla... 
Wife trouble
I think if it were me I would be trying to figure out if she bailed  cuz the gear or because of some other reason. If it's truly the hi-fi,  then I would ditch the gear in furtherence of a relationship with a loved one. Get the relationship on str... 
Boise, Idaho
I'm interested in joining, I'm moving to Boise in June.  I'd love to meet some other audiophiles, I've been up in Moscow for the last three years. Haven't met to many audiophiles up here. Is there someone I can contact.

Thanks Tim, I think I understand now what your saying about the 9497 and the 5000. I think I would likely prefer the 5000, I'm going to go with that. Thanks to everyone who chimmed in on this. These forums don't work unless peeps participate. Than...

I'm not confused between the discussion. I realize that the duelund may have some advantage over belden, however as mentioned, cost is an issue and what I need is the best bang for the buck. However I appreciate the rhetoric in the duelund because...

Tim when you mentioned the belden 5000 as more dynamic would that mean that it's more analytical yet not quite as musical or analog sounding as the 9497?

Assuming the duelund is out of my budget, I'm looking at the belden, just need to decide which one, the 5000 or the 9497. I'm wondering if one has the advantage over the other relating to air and detail.I was looking at the supra stuff as well but...

I haven't replaced the resistors, I was going to with a mundordf that was recommended by Tony Gee at humble hifi. He spent a lot of time with me helping me decide what caps to use. I have an order I'm placing with him for the caps, I hadn't placed...

Maybe I miss calculated the cost, I understand 12 meters is 120, but that's only one lead isn't it? So for two leads that cost would double to 240. I'm basing this the following link that shows the duelund is a single wire rather than a pair. Does...

Yea that's the problem, mainly because the duelund I've seen comes in single leads, thus I'd have to buy double.

I'm trying to wrap my head around cable sounding laid back. Years ago I tried dh labs t14 and one thing I noticed after burn in, was that it was significantly more detailed and seemed faster, would laid back be the opposite of these characteristic...
