| Are current audio cable designs superior to 1980s designs? Do you have an audio dealer nearby? Ask if you could borrow several new broken in cables and find out for yourself. | |
| Most recordings you own by a single artist, group, or composer Neil Young. I do like many other artists but Mr. Young takes up more space in my LP shelf space than anyone else by far.Saw him again last year at Paramount Theater Seattle. He burned the place down. | |
| Two Turntables? Why Two turntables is a good start. We have an LP12 in the living room my son an old Denon DP47F in his bedroom. My main setup includes a Woodsong rebuilt Garrard 301.Seriously, this may seem excessive but each has its use and is loved. | |

| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes My pair of 1980 Melz 1578 from Olga arrived yesterday. After playing 8-10 hours background music in our living room system I sat down to listen. WOW!I'm ordering another set of Metz 1578 now. I also ordered a pair of 1954 Metz 6N8S. What I noticed... | |

Chris and the others have great input no two systems will be the same so play around and liste... | |

| Kudos to Dan Wright of Modwright Absolutely no surprise. My one repair experience was the same. The repair was the laser drawer on a ten year old Sony nothing to do with Dan's mods. | |
| The KEF LS50 price drop has me considering a small system for my office. Suggestions? I owned LS50's for several years wonderful speakers for your room. PP EL84 or 6V6 and you have a great match. | |

| I want to dump my Oppo; but... My family uses our Modwright 105 for movies and other silver disks also to stream music and video. I use it as a stand alone DAC for a music server/streamer. One button on the remote to select use. Simple. | |

A clearly better sounding cable than a standard computer USB cable. A good value. I've read good things on Ozzy's topic about Acousti... |
