| Need some advise please on a 30 year old system I would take it to a reputable dealer and have him sell the pieces on consignment or you. | |

| Cable for AudioQuest Niagara 1200 You could use any good quality cable on your unit but i can tell you that you would want a ten gauge cable because of the current involved in a multi outlet conditioner and no you do not need to use audioquest. I would consider the kimber pk10 gol... | |

| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt The parasound hca 3500 i have owned it for twenty five years and have never heard or found a better overall amplifier for all speakers. My favorite tube amp is the sonic frontiers for the same reason of i have never found a better one to drive tub... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up Your 1028 speakers blend better with your tube amp than the sopra because prima luna tube amps have a high output impedance that changes the sound of all the speakers connected to them and it just so happens that the 1028 is a better match with yo... |
