Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire?
What got me thinking about this was the fact that many people that I listen with have great equipment and just basic speaker cables. I was hearing things on their systems that I was not hearing on mine. It got me thinking, how can these systems so... 
Manufacturers past their heyday
ML (both), Linn, Klipsch, JBL, MBL, LOL! 
what are the pros and cons of either amp power specification?
This subject was covered exhaustively in a 1981 documentary that gave it all the seriousness and respect it deserves:  https://youtu.be/6iCbK3ooekU?t=24 
To Harbeth or not to Harbeth, That is the question...

Looking for some opinions on some digital components my dealer recommends
DSP is malarkey. If quality sound was so easy everyone would be doing it.   Torus is toroidal which is a type of transformer. They do work, it is a proven method, and as with most things parts quality is what matters and hopefully what you are pay...
