| Which Audioquest XLR? Kalbi, I had used the Audioquest King Cobra and, based on advise from this forum, upgraded to the Columbia (72V pack). I thought it made an improvement in my system. However the KC can be had for about 1/2 the Columbia on used market. Given the co... | |
| do players like Foobar improve sound of internet Check into the Wireworld USB cable line. Chroma can be had for $30. Next up line I believe is Starlight 5, ~$50. | |

| Non-Fatiguing bedroom system? Can’t think of a better place for a fatiguing system. :-)How about a NAD316Bee driving a pair of Pioneer SP22 speakers. At less than $500 leaves $$$ for source. | |
| Help with speaker cable under $500 for new system Mapman, I buy Monoprice 12 ga. in wall speaker cable to provide to my friends who are inclined to use 18ga (or less ga.) zip cord.

| some of the best speaker cables under $250 In defense of MentalÂs statement of 1/24, he was referencing expensive tweeks. I believe any system benefits from ÂtweekingÂ, which I see as a response to individual preference and system environment. However, I could not justify the use of exp... | |

| Simplifying my 2.1 living room setup I believe you can pick up a Marantz 5004 which has been replaced by the 5005. It comes highly recommended in its price range and has a phonostage. Should be able to find one under $350. | |
| Speakers for Vintage Marantz ? Plus other Qs Several speakers were recommended that have not heard, and therefore cant comment on. That said, I owned a pair of Sound Dynamic 300ti for 15 years and they are a great speaker and a great deal if one could buy a pair in good condition for under ... |
