| Vintage speakers 80s-90s..... I would definately go with the Klipsch. IMO-the kg (I think they are also called the Classic) series are more musical than the current line up. Check out Hereseys, Chorus or the kg4s. Good luck. | |
| Are there any albums you consider perfect? I think there are lots. A few are: Led Zep-I, II and IIIBeatles-Rubber Soul, Revolver, St Peppers, Abby RoadVan Morrison-Moondance, Asteral WeeksWho-Who's NextQueen-Night at the OperaRolling Stones-Let it BleedRoxy Music-Avalon | |
| Interconnects for Musical Fidelity A3.2 system I would recommend you use the same IC all around if possible, and budget about as much as one of your components if possible. I had good results with Van Den Hul. | |
| Best Looking SS Integrated Amplifiers Under $2,000 YBA is very nice looking too | |
| Speakers for Rock Music Check out Klipsch Heresy-they are compact and have all the qualities you are looking for in a speaker. | |
| Time to move on from my old SOTA ? Keep your SOTA-once the factory refurb. it will be good as new. Put money into other components, cables, new vinyl or a record cleaning machine. | |
| Speaker suggestions Check out Usher speakers-the whole range is nice and offers good value | |

| Will grounding plugs improve the sound of my NAD ? Thanks-I have a TT so the phono input is being used. I suppose grounding plugs are not worth the money/effort for me as I dont care too much if a little dust gets in. Gracias. | |
| Recommendation of a good nearfield speaker Usher monitors-BE or X series | |
| Speakers for bad rock recordings What Klipsch speakers do you have? In my opinion, the classic series from Klipsch (Heresey etc) sound better than later models. In any event, I agree that you should look into Jolida's integrated unit and keep the Kilpsch. I hear the Onix is good ... | |
| Tweaks Certainly Vibropods are a very cheap tweak, and crossing power ICs at right angles is easy and cheap too. I have not heard of putting grounding caps in unused pre-ins. Does anyone know where to get grounding caps or how much they cost? | |
| SS Amp Recommendations? If you can get a McCormack amp-do it. Otherwise look at B&K ST140 ($200-250 used). Also consider Musical Fidelity. |
