phono cable suggestions..
Okay Readster, I'll bite. Where can you get a discovery cable for $100 ? Or are you just trolling for gags ? 
What tubed preamp that is not too fussy ?
Let me just add on more comment. We all need to be very careful of the answers we receive when we ask questions like this.I have asked questions like "what is the best rock speaker for $1500". When we read reviews or ask for answers from others, w... 
What tubed preamp that is not too fussy ?
I have been through several preamps in the last couple of years looking for the ultimate " non fussy pre".One that I could just sit back and enjoy the music without analyzing or wasting time looking for nth degree all of the time.What I ended up w... 
Replacing tweeter in old Advent speaker?
When I had my Large Advent's in the 70's. The tweeters were always going on these beasts. I used to put a inline fuse to the speaker input. I can't remember the amp rating though. Most likely a 1 or 2 amp. 
Looking for a speaker under $1000. used.
I have a stand by pair of Thiel 1.2's that I keep just for when I sell my mains and buy another pair. I just recently sold my mains and have been listening again to the 1.2's while in between my new purchase to arrive. Just tonight as I am sitting... 
Rockin Speaker under $1000 used
Buy some Thiel 1.2's and use the rest of your money for some more vinyl.

How many years before MP3 becomes king?
As much as I prefer vinyl and hi-end, and I never listen to CD's at home. I would welcome some type of hard drive system that would have 5000 songs in my boat or truck. 
how good signal cable?
I use the signal double run for the bass of my Proac Studios. And I use Aperature silver for the upper end. I tried the Signal bi-wired and really didn't enjoy the top end as much as I did with the silver. I bought the shotgun version so I just do... 
how good signal cable?
Also look at Discovery. Both are great deals 
How many years before MP3 becomes king?
I think that MP3 will be king. As I think it should. Maybe not the exact format being used right now at this moment, but one that works on the same principals. Don't get me wrong, I don't listen to anything like that. I listen to vinyl at home and... 
Rogue Audio M-120 vs M-150
I don't know how much power you need but, In triode mode, the amps don't start to clip until right around 100 watts 
Cartridge for Gyro SE/ Rega RB300 &Slee Gold Era V
