I'm very happy to discover Larry Archibald's 1983 response to Stereo Review's Blind Cable Test has been added to the archives. I read the original piece in Stereo Review 24 years ago, and did not trust it. Something didn't make sense. I was hardly an audiophile - I owned used Advent speakers, a Pioneer receiver, and an old Dual turntable/Grado cartridge at the time - but I sensed that something was awry. So I decided to experiment on my own. I went to an electronics store and bought some 12-gauge silver wire to replace the lamp cord I was using as speaker wire.

Hi I'm new to this forum and have a question regarding my NAD523 CD player. I got one the CD stuck in the unit and in the process of getting in out I manually turn the disk turn table. Now the unit is out of sync. It is very easy to open the unit up but I have been unable to line it back up even though I put the disc right under the spindle. Any suggestions out there?????? Thanks in advance for any help.

I've had a Yamaha AX-592 amplifier for about 10 years and been very happy with it. It died yesterday and I need to replace it. I'm looking for something up to $1,000. I looked at the Yamaha HTR-6090 which I can get for about $700. It looks good but it has a lot of things I don't need and I'm wondering if there is something else out there that would give me more for my money. I only need a two channel amplifier, I don't need 7.1 or 5.1. I don't need a receiver as I have a stand alone Yamaha receiver.
