My first record was a 45 - Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog" (around 1957). My first LP was The Platters "Great Pretender" (around 1960). Joel

B&W N.802 on 7" Sound Anchor speaker stands.
I have a pair of B&W Matrix 803s on a custom-made pair of 7" Sound Anchor stands. I have a small listening room and listen in the near field. The 7" stands elevate the mid range drivers to my ear level in my listening chair. I love the way my ... 
B&W nautilus 804 for linn classik?
If the Linn Classik is temporary, I suggest that you buy speakers that you like, fit your budget and, MAINLY, fit your listening room. Joel 
This is bugging me
Check out www.diycable.com. They'll put it together for a small fee. Great sound. Cheap price. Joel 
Tone wood
I have been looking into the Sonus Faber Guaneri Homage speakers. They were built to honor the Guareri violins and are made with solid maple. They are quite expensive monitors (around $10K retail) but are said to reproduce the sound of a violin be... 
Pro Cables vs. Audio Cables....Are We Being Duped?
It seems to me that the studio recording engineers would use the best available cabling for recording purposes. Why do we spend 10x as much for playback cables? 
Power cord suggestion for Plinius 8200?
I am using a Shunyata Black Mamba with my Plinius 8150. Very pleased. Joel 
power amp or integrated?--tube of course
Jim, sorry to confuse the issue with one more consideration. Even though it's retail price is above your stated amount, Mark Levinson's Red Rose group has a new tube integrated that I hear is spectacular. I'm a solid state guy (Plinius 8150), but ...

The first "audiophile"?
Albertporter, thanks for your research. I wonder what the high-end systems included in 1951.Joel 
300B amp, Shearwaters, 508.24. Any reason why this wouldn't
My son just built a pair of monoblock 300B SET amps, 9 wpc. He set them up in my system driving a pair of B&W Matrix 803s. My listening room is small, but the amps provided MORE than enough power to drive the speakers (90 dbl) to above my norm... 
Is a 12' X 16' room big enough for stereo?
Francis,I'm jealous of your new "large" listening room. I'm in a 11 x 12 x 8 bedroom with B&W Matrix 803s! Elgordo, where can I find out about the Argent room lenses . . . and would they help in my tiny listening room? Good luck with the new h... 
Red Rose R3s vs. Proac 1sc vs. Dynaudio 1.3SE
Thank you all for your great advice and input. I love this website. I'll add your suggestions to my audition list. My current speakers are B&W Matrix 803s and I feel that they need a larger room to really sing - although, I'm listening to the ...
