Looking for Speaker Recommendations
you should look at the monitorial gold 200 or 300 Gen 5 very natural neutral sounding speakers that MPD tweeter is the best tweeter on the market right now I believe very three-dimensional wide and deep sound stage.  
Neotech cables
the new tech Amazon and Sahara are both extremely good cables they'll go up against stuff that's probably three four times as much.  
Recommendation for low to normal level listening a 13.5' x 21' x 8' room
you should listen to the monitor audio platinum 200 ll and 300 ll, very natural sounding three-dimensional and a i r y and spacious the sound just envelops the whole room.  
Phono Preamplifier Redux .. Damn This is Getting Expensive
I don't know if the Townsend podiums will solve all life's problems but they sure solve a lot of the audio problems especially room problems. LOL  
Phono Preamplifier Redux .. Damn This is Getting Expensive
edgyhassle, the podiums will actually get rid of analog problems because you won't have the vibration going through to your turntable I don't know if the bars will help that but the podium is definitely will, best upgrade I've ever done.  
pc triple c internal tonearm wire
just get some OCC wire  
Phono Preamplifier Redux .. Damn This is Getting Expensive
if you want to get rid of all the bass vibrations going through the floor up your equipment and back up the speakers again check out the Townshend podiums, they're the best speaker isolation on the market they're not cheap but OMG do they make a d... 
My Major System Upgrades in 2022 and Impact of Each
gjohhns, you should have bought the monitor audio platinum ll, they're much better than the Wilson.  
My Major System Upgrades in 2022 and Impact of Each
that's speaker wire upgrade doesn't make a lot of sense to me the Nordost wire is ofc junk but it's ribbon cable and the Clarus Crimson is OCC ribbon cable which is far superior to the nordost wire so I don't get how the nordost can sound better t... 
Neotech cables
I'd like the neotech Sahara, the rectangular ribbon OCC sounds even better than the round OCC and it's also cryogenically treated as well, just ordered a pair of the speaker wire 2 m, it'll be 2 weeks before I get them can't wait to hear what they... 
Which wire for internal recabling my speakers?
OCC single crystal wire is never dry and without richness but you shouldn't be using solid core for internal wiring you should use multi-stranded but OCC single crystal is definitely the best wire to use, 14 to 16 gauge. I use neotech OCC in my sp... 
A rookie with 10K, seeking advise
if you're going to spend about 6,000 for speakers I would look at the monitor audio gold 200s generation 5 they're very good very natural three-dimensional sounding.  
The new Raidho’s vs the new Borressen’s ?
chorus I don't know what kind of magnet you're talking about they use neodymium magnets most of the better speaker manufacturers have been using those for years.  
The new Raidho’s vs the new Borressen’s ?
I've listened to both those speakers then they're definitely not worth 75 85 to 150,000, the monitor audio platinum 500 ll are just as good or better and they're only 32,000 US, Borresson and Raidho speakers are so expensive because Denmark has on... 
Class D Amplification Announcement
anyone that's dumb enough to pay $40,000 for a piece of wire has got more money than brains it's a piece of wire LOL.
