There are so many amps I'm sure there are 1,000 opinions here. For a NYC apt. I would consider a passive pre and separate really high quality phono sectio... | |
| Speaker choice, help please. If you like Sonus Faber, you might want to consider Chario Millenium 1 or 2, supposidly very good. | |

I had tried and used a set of DIY cables made from home depot 6 gauge wire, high voltage multi-strands of differing sizes of solid core copper kind of helically wound. This stuff actually works and has a good if distinctive sound. I used it bi-wir... | |

| Cats and audiophiles Great thread... how about one on parrots?Mine loves Reggae.. some music he doesn't like and squawks loudly... also loud music doesn't seem to bother him. | |
