Best CDs
+1 on the comments on the Oppo.  I fail to understand why so many on this forum bought these for audio for $$$.  I have Oppp 105 and also a Cambridge CXU, use for video ss systems.I play CD's using a transport and running an Audioquest digital cab... 
Center speaker to pair with Vintage Kef 105’s
My 5 channel system is KEF 105/3's with KEF 200C and pair of KEF 101/3.  I am the original owner of all, had the 105/3's re-foamed in 2016.  The 200C is an awesome center to my ears.

2Channel8, Thanks for your comments. To be honest, I just keep the Turntable as a gorgeous piece of my music history, play a record once in a while. I also still have my Nakamichi CR-7A.  In 1968 I had a Dual 1019 along with a Sony 250 RR, which c...

one short and one long speaker cable work?

My first PSB Speaker Purchase. Need some help.
>>>In your opinion do you think its a high price paying around $3500 for the Synch Ones? <<< TMR Audio (The Music Room, advertises here on Audiogon) has had at least two pairs under $2500 this year. So, yes, $3500 is high. 
My first PSB Speaker Purchase. Need some help.
I have Synchrony Ones that I purchased used two years ago for under $2500. You should be able to find a pair in that range. PSB speakers are not well regarded on this forum (for the China Syndrome). One of the reasons I consider this forum a waste... 
Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's?
"that's a beautiful table! How's it sound???"Brent, Thanks for your comment. As too how it sounds, that is a good question relative to today's equipment.  The last time I played a record on it (maybe six months ago) it sounded pretty good (no phy...
