Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics.
Ieales, I’ll try and find some time today to read and study the Galen articles you provided links too. I’ve been busy on another non-audio project that’s taken up enough time to not be able to get that done. What do OFC and LCC stand for? I did re...

I'll do just that.

Inna, I’l have to measure the cable length more carefully once I get my built in shelves in for the turntable, CD player and amp done. I’m moving the shelves to the middle of the room to keep these cables to the shortest length possible. I was thi...

Jones4music, that was good, and illustrates just why audiophiles shouldn’t be allowed out of the house, much less fishing. I added Nordost Odin’s to my want list though. Glupson, you’re telling me. Since I joined this site I been told of so many t...

Gentleman, nice to read the back and forth on cables since my last post from three of my favorite people on this site. I’ve been in touch with both Magico and Luxman about cables. Magico says they’re using Audioquest cables at their current show i...

Inna I read a Stereophile review of the LAST record preservative. Very interesting. About how many records can you treat with one bottle of LAST? Music Direct claims you can clean 80-90 albums with one bottle, but they sell three different size bo...

Twoleftears. I've added Wireworld  and Audio Sensibility to my long list. Ieales, thanks for pointing out a few touted, but questionable cable construction attributes. Helps sort out the wheat from the chaff.Mike.

Duckworp, my apologies, but somehow when re-reading this thread this morning, I noticed, and think I missed replying to your long and thoughtful post. I will be setting up my new system first with some more basic cable as you suggest. Your outline...

Thanks Glupson,. Your post was a pleasure to read. Like you, I do like the retro looks of the Luxman. And who wouldn’t love those big old VU meters. The Luxmans are solidly constructed as well. The quality control is obvious inside and out and bod...

Glupson, I have read a few of the threads on the cable forum and asked a couple questions on one of them that is quite vitriolic. Usually you can get an idea of what the better brands are on most audio products through reviews and their names bein...

Tom, I wish I wasn’t five hours away in traffic from the closest Magico dealer. I do think the local audio stores have a limited supply of cables that I may be able to cajole them into lending for demo purposes. That is after my Magico’s arrive in...

Ieales, I’ll read the articles you provided links too. Thanks. Appreciate the info on the Nordost’s. I had just finished reading a review from Stereophile, I think, where the author said their Valhalla’s were the greatest cables he’d ever reviewed...

Geek,, I quite likely will be finding out how good they are, until I find out more about,or purchase, some of the big (i.e, expensive) boys.. Hopefully they’ll be a pleasant surprise. Mike 
Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics.
Inna,I will be contacting again the Magico rep who does their demos at shows to find out what cables they use there. I'd only use Bluejeans as an interim measure before investing in expensive cables and interconnects.  I did read your post on reco...

Bjesien, Thank you. I’ve Magico A3 speakers on back order, due in this coming February. I’ll hook the Luxman up to my old Dahlquist DQ10’s in the meantime. I’ll post how it sounds when the Magico’s arrive for sure. I spoke to a Luxman tech today w...
