Owning the speakers you dreamed of 20 years ago
What am I missing here?Planned obsolescence.  Take your droolworthy $3k Sonus Fabers and run… heck of a deal. 
cassettes CAN sound better than vinyl.

@mglik i don’t even want to think about tweaks anymore, but I’ve been there and greatly benefited from some tweaks.  It just tskes my monkey brain down the rabbit hole…Several recent tweaks greatly raised the SQ.
