Looking for new speaker cables
I have tried and used various cable options but settled on Transparent Gen 6 Reference Series.   
~$3-5k speakers for moderate volume listening: Spendor A4, Fyne 501SP, Focal Aria X no. 2?
I would vote for Sonus Faber in that price range.   
HOW can components be so expensive, and yet customer service is so bad.
I have found that working with a dealer you really trust and creating a relationship with them beyond just buy/sell has been helpful.  I often reach out to dealers to touch base, see what’s happening in the marketplace and if any new items are com...

I owned 2 pair of Martin Logan speakers, ESL15A and ESL13A. I enjoyed these speakers for many years. In the end I moved in another direction because as I listened to music in longer sessions they caused ear fatigue. I would also add that they were... 
Guidance on cartridge options or new table
@dover Ironically, when I purchased my Burmester pre amp they gave me the option of a dac module or a phono module and I selected the phono module because my dac set up is decent and that technology seems to be changing more in dac's than phono's ...

@rsf507 excellent point.  I'm traveling to meet with a Kuzma dealer next week.  
Guidance on cartridge options or new table
@faustuss I recognize that Burmester has turntable options and I have considered both of them.  The reason I have posed the question on the Audiogon Forum is due to the expertise and vast knowledge base that exists with many members today that is ...

Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ?
Dohmann Kuzma Sat These three brands cover the spectrum.   
Subwoofer with center channel
Sub frequencies can go to the center channel. It depends on how you set your sizing of your speakers in your home theater.  For example, I have my center channel and surrounds set to M which then only delivers over 80 Hz. My 2 main channels that a...
