The current best band in the world?
OPETH!!!! 
Scott LK-72 Integrated Amplifier worth restoring?
The LK72 is the kit version of the 299. 
Scott LK-72 Integrated Amplifier worth restoring?
An excellent USA made integrated tube amp from the Golden Age! I bought one and had it restored by Stephen Marsh (North Lake Audio) in CT. Good for decades more of use! And will increase in value over time (unlike Ch*nese junk). BTW, he also did a... 
FR64 cartridge suggestions
+1 syntax! Keep the FR-1 mk3F and have it retipped! Truly excellent mc cartridge - I have owned several! Easily competitive with far more expensive mc's! 
More expensive DAC the answer?
A single-end triode amp like my Sanei SA-560A (2A3's and Tango transformers) would be a lot better than the SS Yamaha! Those Cornwalls have a sensitivity of 100db/1watt. Most of your listening is at or below 1 watt. SE tube amps are "magic" at the... 
Can you live with your current speaker until you die?
My Quad 57's (two pairs) and Futterman H3AA mono OTL amps! 
How does cable length affect sound?
Lenght of wire has NO effect on SQ - contrary to what the delusional will tell you! For speakers 12 or 14 awg is fine. Having equal lengths of PC's is NOT important! Don't waste your money on power "conditioners". There is NOTHING wrong with the A... 
Naim "based" preamps - yay or nay?
Don't buy and support Ch*neese pirates! 
How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else?
Quad 57's! Peter Walker's marvels! True, they look like space heaters - but they have an overall sense of "rightness" that eludes many of today's big-buck designs!

Lastly, let us not forget the LS3/5A's. I have an 11 ohm pair of Rogers (39269A and B). Astonishing SQ from a small box! Still a sought-after speaker of many audiophiles!

And I'll add my Ohm Walsh Sound Cylinders! Amazing speakers - 3-D imaging from anywhere in the room! Thank you John Strohbeen for carrying forward the legacy of Lincoln Walsh!

DCM Time Windows! I have the 1A's and a pair of Time Frame 500's. The name says it all! Thank you Steve Eberbach for some great speakers! 
Old School MFSL
$1000 for Woodstock soundtrack? LOL! PF's Meddle - $600? WTF! 
The 70’s are back
Anybody else here think that $4K for the L100's is TOO much? The dealer margin is probably 30% ($1200). Still expensive for an old (and flawed) design! I'm keeping my 4312's and 166's which together cost me used less than half of the new ones! 
Have DAC’s improved for Redbook CD playback?
+1 mahler123! Marketing hype drives the DAC business!
