| Sold a component and bought it back, am I nuts? I bought a Boss 302 new off the showroom floor in 1969, and sold it 10 months later to get money to go back to college .... But, on topic, I let an aquaintance talk me into selling him a couple pairs of vintage speakers at a very reasonable price... | |

| What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen? First experience as a lad going into a Hifi salon looking for blown 12" woofer for my Sansui speaker: "Those aren’t worth the postage to send them over here from Japan." Second experience presenting my little 25wpc Pioneer receiver to a "tech" at... | |
| Klipsch Jubilee & Klipschorn Experience @souljasmooth "if they were built using exotic materials, they would be pushing six figures (which I wish they gave that option)." I agree. An upscale product offering a significant upgrade to a flagship model that's been in place for 75 years... | |

| Power Cable for CDP @kaipau All things being equal, you may enjoy the sound (and, money savings) with a smaller AWG power cable on your Compact Disc Player. But, I wish were as simple as small vs large AWG. You'll also find that some highly regarded manufacturers... | |
| Should I As some suggested, caps have a limited life span and, yes, heat is a factor. You are sitting on a ticking time bomb. Like a new puppy, I wouldn’t go off and leave this amp with the power engaged for too long. You might find yourself with a new hig... | |
| Yes, digital cables matter too I try to recommend auditioning a cable at a price point above your "budget", provided there is an option to return. You may discover a level of performance you had never imaged, which presents 2 options: 1) you find a way to up the ante on the pur... | |
| The problem with PLC OP, I'm ready to pay well over the "market price" of $700 and invest $999 on a pair of your PLCs. Just let me know when they are ready to ship, your PayPal info, and I'll clear my old speakeres out of the way for them. I'll just set my old one's... | |
| Patio tunes I'm not sure of your situation, but I'd assume that you're looking for a best balance of performance, cost, and convenience. Ideally, you'll have a system you don't have to transport in & out, or set up/tear down. IF you have the ability to ... |
