| What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby? Taking advantage of a trade-in and trade-up deal offered by a shop. I ended up not liking the bigger speakers nearly as much as the smaller ones.Also, at a different time, not biting the bullet and buying some fairly costly speakers that I really ... | |
| Need copper speaker cable recommendations $300 ish That's for one leg. To make a pair of speaker cables, you'd need 4 runs of the required length. As that cable doesn't come in different jacket colors, you'd need to mark the ends, to keep + and - differentiated. | |

| Reliability of brand Reliability is one thing, after-sales service may be another, though the two often coincide.In the unlikely event the preamp should break down, plenty of companies are very reliable. Starting with Bryston, but then also Pass, Ayre, Jeff Rowland, ... | |
| PS Audio BHK versus Herron VTSP-3A(ro2) All too many A/B listening tests are skewed by mismatched volume levels. As just said, unless the spls are pretty closely matched, comparative listening like this won't tell you too much. | |
