Sonus Faber Sonetto V’s Thoughts Requested
@dbeckwith, Thanks for the Brit Floyd tip.  I have seen Australian Floyd and The Machine.  I wasn’t that impressed with either.  David Gilmour said that Brit Floyd were the best of the bunch and you confirmed it.  I will definitely check it out n... 
Upgrade My Turntable - How Much Do I Need to Spend?
I was in the same position as you.  I had a good turntable but constantly had to fiddle with it.  It took all the enjoyment of listening to vinyl away.  I traded my turntable in on a new Technics SL1200G DD turntable @4K.  This is the least fiddly... 
Cornwall IV's with Accuphase E-650? good match?
McIntosh and Klipsch go great together.  
Transport Recommendations
I see new CEC transports offered here for decent money.  Sorry I am not sure of the seller.   
Looking for recommendations for integrated with a more “organic” sound.
I would look at the more expensive Lebem tube integrated.  One of the best sounding integrateds I have ever heard.  Almost makes me want to trade my McIntosh SS integrated for one.  Note I said almost.  
Furman Upgrade to Niagra
@navyachts, I have 2 dedicated 20-amp circuits for my audio system and both circuits are connected to  Shunyata Hydra 4 power conditioner.  Shunyata conditioners do NOT limit current, and it is advisable to plug your amp into them.  My system is e... 
McIntosh c2700 users please chime in?
@jc51373, thank you, I enjoy both my McIntosh based systems daily.  
Wayne Kramer of the MC5 Passed Away
@jasonbourne71 , You are so right.    I believe there is only 1 band-member left that is still alive, or maybe two.  I missed seeing him the last time he was out my way.   They were way ahead of their time and made mistakes like having Lenny Sinc... 
McIntosh c2700 users please chime in?
@jc51373 , You are very welcome, it’s always a pleasure to help out fellow audiophiles.   
McIntosh c2700 users please chime in?
@jc51373 , the real question is why would you purchase gear that is made by a small manufacturer which becomes totally worthless once the owner/designer dies?  If you think McIntosh is mid-Fi, it may be time to go see an audiologist and get the w... 
Anthony (Tony) Cordesman has passed away
So sad to hear this.  Rest in Peace Tony.   
Borresen Loudspeakers
To the OP, I didn’t realize you bought a pair as I would have kept my view on stand mount speakers to myself.  Good luck with them, hope it works out for you.    
Accuphase E-5000 factory power cord good enough?
I bought a pair of Accuphase cables, directly from them.   They have interconnects and I think AC cables as well.    
Borresen Loudspeakers
I am sure they sound great but I would never spend that kind of money on stand mounted speakers when there are so many floor-standing speakers with a very slim profile available.   
Accuphase E-5000 factory power cord good enough?
I would use an Accuphase a power cord.  I am using a pair of their interconnects on a Sony music server with excellent results.
