| One year down, two to go. What's the longest you have saved for one component? OP,Honestly, I never found any component worth carrying payment plan for 3 years. Your situation may be unique (not sure how lucrative the offer was) but you’re already committed and you must really like Boulder sound. Enjoy! | |
| Speaker Cable Termination Opinions - Bananas or Spades OP,You can use WBT-0610 banana’s, no doubt expensive but they will last a lifetime without any sign of wear.

| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. I just can’t wait to see what OP ends up with.....just read up his threads on digital servers, especially this one 😂https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/streamers-servers-players-woefully-overpricedDo you see a pattern? What’s next, speakers or ... | |
| Cartridge recommendations under $2500 “Don’t know why Hana is in your list if you can get Koetsu”@chakster,I am no pro but Koetsu Blackline Gold - $3K cost more than twice the price of Hana ML, is it really that much better? Hana ML, IME is a very balanced cartridge with gorgeous soun... | |
| Phonostage recommendations under $3K @chakster, I just realized, I did not post the latest updates with my Analog setup. I no longer own the Thorens TD1601 / Hana ML and Parasound ZPhono. My new Analog setup is, SME Model 15A / Hana Umami Red Cart / EAT E-Glo S w/external LPS. I got ... | |

IME, the upgrade path for cart and phono becomes much easier once you have a solid foundation i.e. Turntable. I am in the process of se... |
