| Best way to shotgun cables Normal "shotgun" configuration is the twist the wires in the same jacket together. That's the way I've always seen it done. I have done this many times to great satisfaction. My current setup has it just this way. | |
| Spica TC-50 and amp advice I've owned several pairs of the TC-50s and was a Spica dealer for years. The amps, (in your price range used) I had excellent luck with were:Forte 1ASonographe (conrad johnson design) SA250Classe SeventyClasse TenAragon 4004MKII | |
| whats the diff btw a Planar 3 and a P3? To add to what Wendell, (Narrod) said, you can buy a motor update kit from Rega for the older Planar tables to make the motor mount the same as the P3. I agree that the "plinth" itself, sounds the same. | |

| Recommended new speakers for under $500? The new issue of Stereophile had an excellent review of the Mordaunt-Short "Carnival" speakers. List price is only $250.00 a pair. | |
| What Printed Magazine do you prefer? If I "had" to choose ONLY one, it would be The Absolute Sound without question. I actually still get all of the three you mention, but I am planning on NOT renewing my sub to Sound & Vision...it's gotten kinda lame. | |
| PBS/ Martin Scorcese Blues Series I bought the CD of this series with Keb Mo. I'm not that big of a blues fan, but this CD is wonderful. | |
