Audiogon Friday Feel Good Story of the Week
I used mine with the Pro 10 MC. Had a great phonostage for it's price.  
Audiogon Friday Feel Good Story of the Week
The ST-70 was not designed for low impedance speakers. Provided little more into a 4 ohm load than at 8 ohms. I used mine with Vandersteens and Sound Dynamics. With the right speakers I felt it was the best under $1000 amplifier available in the m...

True. I am keeping an eye on the transport market as I own the Cambridge CXC however may replace it with another. I am very happy with my Audio Mirror Tubadour III DAC. 
Tannoy Legacy Ardens - which amp suggestions for 15 big ass babies
I auditioned my Tannoy Sterlings played by the Luxman 550ax. That combination was wonderful. I believe I read that the 550 is bias class A to 20wpc however runs higher in class A/B.  
Does the 1.5m 75ohm rule apply to 110ohm?
Thanks, I read too much into your statement of 5/15.  
Love to hear from current owners or past users of Isoacoustics Gaia footers.
Ok, but the type of floor makes a difference on the result. In all cases reported herein it would be nice to know what type of floor as well as type of speaker. In my case I have Tannoy Sterling GRs. They weigh 55lbs. Currently  my system is on a ...

Adding "Internet radio" to home system
I am interested in the Cambridge  streamer. Will it play music off a hard drive (AIFF files)? 
Does the 1.5m 75ohm rule apply to 110ohm?
So the answer is that 1.5 M is the best choice for AES digital cables if one doesn't know the input impedance of the receiving component?

George, yes nice link to transport use! Thanks. 
Magico compared to Tannoy
Yes, I also have the Sterling GRs. I agree that they are wonderful with Jazz and vocal driven music. Maybe not the best for hard rock. Why we can have two speakers for different sessions. My main system gets most use for last evening sessions, Jaz...

I had the B&K ST-140. Purchased in 1985. Sold it on AG in 2011 for 1/2 what I paid for it. Great amplifier!  
System Dissatisfaction - My Own Fault
I am surprised that I missed your thread back in 2018. I owned the Pathos Classic One MKII at that time. Sold it about a year ago. Since then I purchased a pair of Tannoy Sterlings. That Pathos would have served me well with those speakers.
