Are you mass less
Recent convert to low mass plugs/sockets. When restoring/rebuilding/upgrading my Lenco L70, the tonearm wires got me thinking about signal strength and amount of metal in its path. Parts Connexion sells the KLE series of connectors, and I decide...

ProAc Response 2: CJ CAV45, Cary SEI 300B, or Cary Rocket 88?
You are on a fun "stop over" on the never ending journey... I look forward to reading your thoughts on how well what you are wanting to hear materializes. I've had my eye on the SEI-300 for years, just haven't had the resources when I've had the ... 
Desk top speakers at low cost
Ok, I know you said no minimus 7... BUT, I have a pair I upgraded with the Zilch crossover mod, and they are a ridiculously great sounding tiny speaker - especially near field. The crossover mod transforms these little gems. Just sayin'...
