| Jumper Cables - use the stock or should they be upgraded ? I would use jumpers made of Cardas Clear Beyond if available | |

| Jumper Cables - use the stock or should they be upgraded ? I would use one run of the best speaker cable I could afford, and a jumpers made by the same manufacturer, rather than bi-wire cable of a lesser quality and no jumpers | |
| TurnTable Quest Save your money and get a Garrard 301 or 401 | |
| MBL omnidirectional speakers. How do they sound ? Huge and powerful. You really need to hear them to fully appreciate. I have only heard them with MBL electronics. They require lots of power and current. | |

| Nagra electronics with Proac D40r I own Proac D-40r speakers and based on my experience I think the Nagra amps would work with the Proac speakers, but would not drive them to high volume. I had Quicksilver V-4 amps and while great did not have the bass grip I wanted. If you listen... | |
| Recommed a medium sized monitors that can go loud The B&W line will play loud and are a good choice with rock music because they can produce low bass. Most stand mount speakers will not really produce any low bass that works for rock. The B&W will also do a good job with any other music. ... | |
