Planning audio audition trip to NY/NJ, vendors???

High End Components - How long do they last?
I have some Bozak speakers with internal amplifiers that are 25 years old. I refurbished the cabinets but have done nothing inside which is rare because the cones usually disintegrate.

Power cable upgrades, or Power conditioner?
You can do better than the PS power plant. I upgraded to the audio tekne power conditioner. Everything gets plugged into it including the amps. The one drawback is you cannot use 3 pronged plugs so you have to go with the audio tekne cords which I...

Just got rid of my Dunlavy V's and purchased the Piega 10's. A major upgrade.Now would be a good time to unload the Dunlavy's with the uncertainty of their future
