I’m gob smacked. What were you’re aha moments?
@millercarbon. You’re a tweaker. That’s so not me. Not my skill set. I’m more a set it and forget guy. But gonna look into your anti-static advice. Static electricity is brutal where I live.

That’s great that it was tubes for both of you. I’m still plotting/planning my way there. Hopefully another aha moment to look forward to 😎

Enjoy your Harbeth’s. I have a pair of SHL5+ in backup to my Monti’s. I get to switch back and forth between a boxed and unboxed sound. They complement each other very well.  
Purchase advice: Old turntable vs. new....
I’m a big fan of vintage DD turntables. Original owner of a 30+ year old Denon DP72 that is still going strong. Got a DP62 in backup and just got a great deal on a Kenwood KD500 in good working order. You said it “Gigantic and Tremendous” 
What is the first album you purchased, and do you still have it?
Bob Dylan - Desire. Still have it and every other album I’ve acquired over the years.  
Denon Power amplifier or Yamaha amplifier help please
Speaking only from a reliability standpoint, my Denon POA2200 (purchased in 1985) is still going strong. It doesn’t get nearly the playing time that it used to but it still fires up and rocks out when I decide to set up some of my vintage gear.  
Underrated album: Sonics AND Music
Roy Orbison - Mystery Girl (CD) if you want to see how your systems highs hold up. Roy can sure hold a note. ‘She’s A Mystery To Me’ is where tweeters find out if they measure up.  
Can you live with your current speaker until you die?
+1 wtf. I'm up to 4 in storage. Need to keep that in check. 
Underrated album: Sonics AND Music
+1 Any and all Suzanne Vega 
Underrated album: Sonics AND Music
For those that like but are tired of hearing Nils Lofgren ‘Keith Don’t Go’, check out Graham Parker Live, Alone In America.  
Underrated album: Sonics AND Music
For sonics, atmospherics and some pretty good tunes, the soundtrack for To Live and Die In LA by Wang Chung on vinyl.  
The 70’s are back
I remember reading this post when it went up a week ago. Today I’m in my local family flea market store looking for a used loveseat for my music room and I hear the most pleasant sounding music. And what was creating this but a pair of JBL L200 t3... 
Help with advice for high end speaker cables for my system!
I came across a number of recommendations for Tara Labs speaker cables for use with my ML Montis and went with RSC Prime M2 (purchased from the Cable Co.) Very satisfied with them. Also, enjoy them with other speakers that I have. Everything seems... 
Prima Luna Integrated - EL34, KT88, KT150, Brimar AU - My experience
Really appreciated this post. Have been considering a PL Integrated for some time as my first foray into tubes. Very helpful info on the sound of different tubes and some of the differences between the 4 tube vs 8 tube models. 
Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker?
Erik, I think you might be onto something. I couldn’t be happier with the sound and size of my 2 1/2 way Epos M16i’s. They sound good at both low and high volumes and with all types of music. I also currently own ML Monti’s and Harbeth Super HL5+ ...
