Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time

Speakers for a unique small room
When did a 10' x 14' unsealed space become rated as small for use with small speakers only? I think the 1/3 rule for speaker placement would work, Cardas is practically identical in this room size, or at least it is a excellent starting point. noa...

OP how close to Minneapolis are you? The Craigslist used classifieds lists quite a few capable options for you to chose from, particularly a well sorted Thorens TD 165. I would suggest going used if you have a good local audio repair shop within d... 
What do you like and dislike about vintage Western Electric cables?

I have used grey(10ga) & red(16ga) cloth WE wire purchased from tajacobs ebay seller as speaker wire and internal wire for a pair of speakers. I am looking at both right now and there is no PVC just cloth, cotton, and tinned wire. I am not sur...
