Why all or most audiophiles are men?
Most men are just more interested in operating, fixing, analyzing, restoring, building, etc.  Most women are just more interested in enjoying those efforts.  A good woman however will make up for this unbalance in  other ways such as child care, r... 
Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people.
I sold my old Teac A 5300 I purchased in S.E. Asia. I kind of miss it. I saved my 7" reels of good music and I'm thinking about getting another player for them.  It's hard to find one in great shape and repair is difficult but I may keep looking. ... 
What a sad world we now live in.......

What equipment have you bought this year so far ?
I merely purchased a good Yamaha receiver, CD player, better speaker wires, and now streaming Spotify.  This will hold me over for a while until I learn more, then I'm sure I'll get serious. I've learned from other hobbies, not to jump in too soon... 
Like to tweak my system
That's good advice, thanks. I have an audiophile friend who told me that over the years he probably spent $50k on stereo equipment by buying, selling, trading, upgrading, etc. He said if he could start all over today, he could put together an equa...

I'd like to upgrade my speaker wire
40 feet total, that takes into account down through the floors, through the basement, and back up.  30 feet might be enough but a lot too long is better than a little too short.  Thanks for the advice.  Doug

I think I may be suffering from a little stereo fever. I may just take a breath and follow previous advice on this site, maybe upgrade to the Vandersteen 2s or sigs, maybe a sub.  Thanks for understanding.
