NAD Amp Question
I Have a C372 and I use Bananas with no problem. Plus I don't have to worry about over torking the plastic lugs and cracking them. Also, there a breeze to disconnect and reconnect for system re-arranging shelf dusting etc.

Mike Smith of the DC5 r.i.p.
You know it's nice and refreshing when some people take the time to post a thought or two about a past icon that in one form or another, was a small part of our life in our younger days. For me its nice because I'm a nostalgia freak to begin with....

For the down times, Rainy days & Mondays, The Carpenter's. Also, Rickie Lee Jones (all) seem to get me back on track. Then if that don't do it.. Some Steely Dan.

Ayre CX-7- Better balanced or RCA?
Congratulations! On your purchase of an Ayre CX-7. I own one myself, and for me, running balanced and in the listen mode is the only way to fly. I've played with different combo's of cables and switching back and forth between the listen and measu... 
Revel Studio speaker w/Music Reference RM-200 amp?
