What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it?
My 15 year old UK made Castle Richmond 3i small standmounts. Recently dug 'em out for a change from my Quad S2s and they ain't going back anytime soon.   
$1000 bookshelf speakers with "recessed", "laid back" or "flat" mid-range?
Quad S2.  Smooth natural sound and no harshness with the ribbon tweeter. 
Looking for Speaker Thoughts

Does anyone use white gloves to handle records?
I wear a white cotton glove on my left hand, which allows me to handle my LPs. Reason being that my right hand, I’m right handed, has become badly deformed by arthritis and can no longer handle an LP. It won’t fit inside a glove either. My left ha... 
Quad S-2
Thanks milpai, I’m really enjoying the S-2’s they are cracking speakers. I’m not at all bothered by the lack of press they get or how many people own them. I was/am just curious how such a great little speaker is not more popular than it appears t...
