Your thoughts about ATC loudspeakers
I own a pair of the SCM 19's and am in love with the gorgeous sound. My system is posted here in the Virtual Systems, but since then I've hooked them up directly to a Luxman L-550ax integrated that is rated at only 20 watts/channel. Yeah, the Lux ... 
How much does your system retail for?
$18,500 not including the TV! Don't regret a penny.

Cartridge, Phono Preamp Hum

What is the best way to replace a blown sub amp?
Insured, yes...but the deductible is ten grand. Repairs look like they will come in at about four. 
Long Power Cord Runs
Hello Bondmanp, I just installed a new amp and for the first time decided to upgrade the ac power cords. For about $150 I was able to run an 8 AWG line directly from a Wattgate IEC plug to a dedicated 20 amp circuit. The run was forty feet. It rea...
