I looked them up and they retail for $150/pair. Rega indicates this cable is what is used on their Planar 8 and 10 phono cables. I tried them and ... | |
| Speaker recommendations welcomed I was where you are and decided on Totem Twin Bison. Very at home with Nora to Zeppelin to Billy Strings. They are detailed but not analytical. Large soundstage they just disappear into. I’m listening to the music not the speakers. MSRP $420... | |
