What part, even on paper are you referring to Geoff that will enhance the musicality of the SP10? david 
SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth
Chakster, the plinth will have a direct effect on the sound but not knowing anything about your Taiwanese base you might be trading in the best one for the looks of another! IME the best SP10 base was the Obsidian one built by Technics, the rest a... 
Sound Labs
I'm not familiar with those particular models but the A1 with the right amplification was one of the best speakers I ever owned. And I've owned quite a few...david 
Getting more bass from Altec Bolero 890c Speakers
They are what they are, Boleros are bookshelf speakers. You're not going to get deeper bass from them. You can't cheat physics, box size and the woofer's Q factor are the determining parameters here. Applying random damping materials will only cre...

What makes a better phono cable ?
Al, (Almarg), I recognize bs that's why I called him (Syntax) on it and of course he doesn't have a reply. I know about measuring impedance, conductivity, resistance, etc. but never heard of a way to measure transfer of information in this way spe... 
What makes a better phono cable ?
Syntax, where did you get this from? Its nonsense."Silver wire (silver can carry 6% more information than copper and 16% more than gold)" Aside from all the variables, what kind of instrument was used to measure transfer of information? david 
What makes a better phono cable ?

Kendrick Sound JBL 4350 for music Bar
Chakster, I never dealt with Kendrick Sound nor do I know what they change/modify as part of their refurbishing process, I only buy and sell speakers in original condition. I'm not sure if any of the setups I heard in Japan were original or from K...
