Most Important, Unloved Cable...
I'm copying this comment from another thread about speaker cable and pasting it here:I've experimented with cables over the years, and have come to the same conclusion that the founder of Monster Cable finally fessed up to: expensive cables are a ... 
Most Important, Unloved Cable...

Record Cleaning Machine
VPI. 16.5. Built like Ike a brick s--thouse, as the saying goes, and it works just fine. Only reason to spend more would be to go ultrasonic.  
What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers??
If it was Crazy Eddie's idea of insane prices, that would be a different story!!!

I've experimented with cables over the years, and have come to the same conclusion that the founder of Monster Cable finally fessed up to: expensive cables are a gimmick conjured up by marketers who figured out that audiophiles will pay a lot of m... 
Wife trouble
My wife could not tell the difference in sound between a six transistor radio and my gear. Until recently, when after experimenting with five or six SUTs at $350 to $1000, I found one for $190 that actually works well and now she gets it. That sai... 
This is pretty funny and probably true for most of us
My daughter is a professional musician. She'll probably inherit mine.

90s is old news? Oh my!Almost all of my equipment is from the 50s to the 80s, and I'm happier than a pig in ... a pigpen. I dont relate to all of this newest/expensive going-around-in-circles stuff, especially in an audio market that has become ab... 
Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need.
Btw, I recently had my Altecs rebuilt: new accordion surround, woofer, spider, high frequency driver. Caps in the Mastering Lab crossovers replaced with Jensen foils. Made a difference, even though there was nothing wrong with anything, if judging...

I'm probably going to horrify most of the folks on this thread. I started out in audio when I was 14 with a Lafayette pair of speakers, integrated amp and a Garard table with a Stanton cartridge. When i was 23, I swapped a pair of Warfdale bookshe...

Hah. I left one out. I forgot it because it is only available on CD, and I rarely listen to CD:Pink Martini - SympathiqueThe Sandy Denny sets are also only on CD and they are great. Prefer to listen to the vinyl. Ive scratched the surface, but I'l...

Selling speakers to a buyer in Russia?
I have never sold through friends and family. I have heard from people who have that eBay does not offer their usual guarantees and protections with this service and have been burned badly as a result. I would recommend not to use this unless they...
