Which Would You Choose?
@grislybutter  @jetter you cannot seriously tell us that anything under 10K is not junk Absolutely I do think so. Without doing much thinking, a new Pass xa25 is about $5K.  A set of the new Clayton Shaw Caladan speakers are around $3.5K.  Qu... 
Which Would You Choose?
@baylinor Be careful what you ask for on this site. OP is thinking of switching amp and some recommendations given are you need to upgrade EVERYTHING LOL. Yes, it’s true. And it’s the same old timers who seem unaware of the fun many audiophil... 
Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing
By the way, a CD player or transport are really pretty much the only items I would hesitate to buy used or a discontinued model.  
Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing
@ghdprentice You’re among many knowledgeable ARC lovers. But for me, and quoting myself, to calm all doubts of repairability other than hearsay, before I purchased the unit. Unless you actually purchase an extra transport from Audio Research’s...

Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing
ARC CD9/SE Unless you actually purchase an extra transport from Audio Research's supposed stash of extra discontinued transports, I would find buying an expensive discontinued CD player without surety of repair a fools errand. I find the theory ... 
Alpha Core Goertz

Alpha Core Goertz
@ozzy  They are about 4 inches long and the connection points are bare wire.  From my own use and reading they are usually used at the speaker end and one network is placed between the positive (+) and negative (-) ends of your terminals. As you... 
Alpha Core Goertz
@ozzy  I believe The Cable Company sells the zobel networks.  I am not sure they will sell them separate from a cable purchase or not.

New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan
@pennfootball71  I have never owned an open baffle speaker and am feeling tempted to consider this one.  Would you mind sharing what it is about OB speaker that makes them midfi?  
Flat copper speaker cables
I have the Goertz Alpha Core MI-2 cables.  Goertz is owned by Bridgeport Magnetics and I have purchased zobel networks directly from them for using with the MI-2 cables.  I think to purchase from Bridgeport you need to phone them. Last I checked ...

@sawbuck  You have nothing to own up to.  He has 66 posts in 16 years and has to waste one accusing you of spreading false information.
