Duelund speaker cable

SET amplifier (for AvantGarde Duo's-original) recommendations
I was using a Wavelength 45 SET when I had a pair. Very nice.  
Spikes on tower speakers
@clearthinker My ears. Also, the Credo video also shows some compelling scientific measurements/evidence. The science you cite is correct. The audible effect, if any, is outweighed by other science (energy transfer). If you want to couple your s... 
Spikes on tower speakers
@clearthinker Just your opinion. An old audiophile myth.  
Spikes on tower speakers

Best shipping companies
I like and use Echo Logistics. Legacy uses them; where I got this recommendation.
