Turntable Pre-Echo Sound....?

Mogami Speaker cable question
i think a lot of people very heavily overestimate the opinions of recording engineers - if you only knew how some of these guys operate - you wouldn't hold them in such high regard. Honestly Mogami stuff is OKAY - it's not bottom of the barrel but...

Reference 3A speakers
Yes - they have to be used with a sub - the corian versions are also prone to crumbling to pieces too. so maybe not a good used speaker. I'd buy new and expect a lifespan of 10 years maybe. 
Totem vs Audio Physic / Schweikert
I would imagine that to be the case (about the arros vs yaras) - the audio physic speakers I've heard are quite different from 'the norm' shall we say. In a very good way of course.
