| Original Legacy Studio Speakers @rfnoise not sure if you’ve already completed your decision process … re your last question … yes, you probably can expect some caps can have drifted some out of spec (but probably more at risk in those much more than 20 years … I have some speake... | |
| Do any of you kids , want your system ??? Wife will take all the Beatles, Buffett, and Louis Armstrong recordings, if only to preserve for the music she wants at HER funeral. 😁Daughter not interested at this stage with 3 young children. A bit more with SIL. I hope as the house calms down ... | |

| Separate Amp for AV receiver I’ve had at least ten receivers over the years, and find very modest to minimal gains from ‘upgrading’ or changing receivers themselves (WRT SQ, changing for features understandable). I did however get more noticeable improvements adding an outboa... | |
| Has anyone done this with a Bluesound Vault? Haven’t done it yet, but will be at some point (just 10% into ripping my CD’s ... isn’t this a function of re-indexing the library? | |
