Apature Accuflow Cables
My memory tells me they were a big step up from Monster Cable at that time. The AA cables were the go to cable at Audio Concepts in Houston Texas where I bought most of my gear back then and they used it in their listening room set ups for demos. ... 
Apature Accuflow Cables
Yes, I am familiar with them from the 90s. Bought 40 feet of the Apature Accuflow speaker wire and cut it down to 10’ runs to bi amp a pair of Snell Type J2s with a pair of B&K ST140s. The system was very good with one of the original Audible ... 
RIP Thom Bell
The Philly sound, and what a sound it is, Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time). RIP  
Top 3 Headphones
I believe that in the $1,000.00 range new, the Audeze LCD2 open back headphones are a no brainer and available used for much less, Audeze has a great quality build and a strong factory support. If you  can stretch that budget the Hifiman HE1000V2s... 
Kim Simmonds Has Passed @ 75.
Love me some Savoy Brown and will spin a bunch tonight. RIP  
Bootleg albums. Favs and stories
The Johnny Winter bootleg albums are really special and I believe after a point he started  doing it himself to control some of the product. Enjoy the music  
What's the oddest thing in your music collection?
@1111art , the above post was in response to your post, was laughing so hard I got confused.  
What's the oddest thing in your music collection?
@richopp, man I love me some Johnny Otis, that dude knew how to put a touring group/show together but I ain't never seen that Skillet and Leroy jive. Thanks for that. Enjoy the music  
The Good Stuff
@rok2id , good call, have the first and the second one that you mentioned and both are outstanding. After all who doesn't like Mac. Enjoy the music  
What's the oddest thing in your music collection?
The first thing that comes to my mind is Hen House Five Plus Two/In the Mood. Have it on one of those Warner Bros sampler albums, I believe it is Limo. There were about 18 or 20 of them and I bought them all at the same time through Warner at a co... 
Does anyone know of a repair service for Lamm amplifiers?
Mr. Lamm passed away in May of this year and I do not believe he had someone in place to carry on his work, his daughter actually answered the phone and handled his communications. I do believe it is an easy process of just switching the existing ... 
Springsteen. Only the Strong Survive
If I had to agree with an artists' politics to enjoy their craft there would be a lot less music played in my home and also a lot less vidio/movies/tv watched. WTS, it seems all artist visit soul and R&B at some point later in their career and... 
RIP Christine McVie
Just got through listening to her Etta James cover of I would Rather Go Blind, what a beautiful voice and seemed to be one of the special people in this world. Loved all incarnations of Fleetwood Mac but was always drawn to the early years with Gr... 
Best Alignment Protractor?
Best is the best. Mint Best Tracker is the easiest one I have used, sold the Feickert which is nice but just didn't need all the different options it and the others might provide. The Mint is specific to the arm/table combo, mirrored and so easy t... 
Hesitant to upgrade my phono cartridge
@paulgardner The SL stands for Shibata low output and you should have some life left to enjoy for a bit after you adjust
