| Bought some 14/2 “speaker wire” from Home Depot I tinned the ends to prevent any stray strands. The wire I bought is all copper- not copper clad aluminum. And Ms. Boyd is always happy - which is the most important thing | |
| Speaker cables for Revel Studio 2 Budget? Good question- not sure | |
| What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it? I love every piece of equipment I own | |
| High end stereo preamps? Worth it? First- one premise made by the OP is incorrect- phono stages are not noise free. Some are very quiet but none are dead silent. Next, I’ve been messing around in this audio world since the 1970’s. Everything makes a difference and a great preamp ca... | |

The Holy Trinity of vintage tuner is Day Sequerra, Marantz 10B and McIntosh MR78. There are other damned good vintage tuners. If you need xlr output, Magnum Dynalab offers that | |

First, pursuing perfection is a fool's errand. Next, devote their lives? Damn- there's got to be some meds for that- | |

And I did go from balanced to single ended outputs. Other vintage top choices are Marantz 10b, 20 or 20b these old tuners have an organic breathing... | |
| Rega Planar 3 hum resolve. What cartridge is the OP using? If it's a Grado- well, that's a problem with Rega tables | |
| Does the 33 hertz frequency turn vinyl into super vinyl "YES" huh? | |
