Marantz AV7005 - Widow w/question
Or you can say,“I did my research and also reached out to the audiophile community found no such issues that you describe.  I find it repugnant that you would lie just for a bit of money. So no, I’m not going to sell it to you”Now the ball is in h... 
Hardy cartridge
Getting memories of old automatic turntables that automatically cued the tonearm to the beginning, automatically reset at the end, and allowed stacking to automatically feed next record. IIRC it was a GE Trimline record player. The amount of vinyl...

@dprendergastI like your choices as well. While some Klipsch speakers may be bright for some, the RP-600M many positive reviews indicate otherwise - they would have revealed if it was bright. I’m pretty impressed on your well thought out choices t... 
Single driver vs traditional 3 way loudspeakers
Not willing to give up frequency extremes for the various music genre I enjoy, so multiple drivers with seamless crossover integrations - sounds like a cohesive whole. 
how would you describe a system that is musical in nature

Why are there no tube televisions anymore?
while there seem to be far less intense discussions in the TV & video realm?Different hobby.  Recreating pleasing sound/music is different from video interests.  The are many different preferences for audio sonics and many methods to achieve t... 
How can a system be judged with highly processed, non acoustic music?
Depends. If you listen only to non-acoustical music then yes, but one should test the system with music they prefer and maybe a good idea to test highs, mid, bass. If you listen to acoustic music then it’s probably foolish to not test with such mu...

I agree with Keef
Ive looked through this thread and see no "trollers" Who are you accusing of being a troll?No accusations here. You’re taking it out of context, it was ann extension of my discussion about maturity.  I’m referring trollers in general
