Banana Clips or Spades?

Forums

I use the Monster Cable Z2 bi-wire for my speakers and this system allows you to have a variety of connections via Monster Lock. I recently moved from Banana clips to spades as I didn't want the connections to my amp and speakers to keep coming out when I moved equipment. I was just wondering: what do you use in both speaker cable and connections and what has been your experience with speaker cables overall ?

"Jazz Ambassadors" photo show

"Jazz Ambassadors" photo show

I’m appallingly late with this, but the photo show “Jam Session: America’s Jazz Ambassadors Embrace the World” is up for a few more days (through April 12) in the arcade of Jazz at Lincoln Center (on Broadway and 60th Street, 5th floor, New York City)—and, if you’re in the area, go see it.

JICO - Nippon Precison Jewel Industry Co. Stylus'

Was wondering if anyone here had any experience with this company.
I decided to buy a new stylus for the old Ortofon M20FL Super that I had and after researching prices online I came across this company in Japan. I ordered a new stylus at about 1/2 the price of a NOS on eBay and received the stylus today. It took about 5 days from time I ordered to receive it.

Installed the stylus tonight and am pretty amazed at how nice it sounds on my Marantz.

You Just Never Know - Dirty Records

Recently I stopped into a local shop to look through some old LPs, thinking I might just find something interesting. Once I dug into the pile of old vinyl, I realized that pretty much everything there was trashed and only priced by title and not condition. I was amazed that some albums were marked at 2 to 5 dollars and were in very nice shape and ones that looked like they were used for buggie boards on a dry carpet were marked at crazy 15 and 20 dollar prices.

I took a chance and spent a whole 12 dollars and returned home with 3 LPs.

Receiver for Vandersteen 2C or 2Ce's

Hello, it's been a while since I have posted, so I think I should recap my situation. I have a Thorens TD166 MkII (with a signet 7lga cartridge, i think it might be a pos, can't find any info online) record player that I am playing through my computer with a Rolls VP29 Phono-pre. I do not own anything else for a system. I think I have finally decided on speakers though, the Vandersteen 2C's. I have heard so many glowing reviews of the speakers, and as I live in the Bay Area, I often see them for sale on craigslist.

1000 wpc monoblocks

Forums

I am seeking massive wpc monoblock amplification for a new stereo system. To this point, three impressive amplifiers have been recommended to me. I have heard one.

McIntosh MC1.2KW
Boulder 2050
Pass Labs X1000

All three have received favorable reviews to different degrees. I would very much enjoy reading thoughts from any of you who own [or have owned at one time] one or more of these three monoblock monster amps.

Equipment paired with the amps?
Musical?

Thanks!

Eggleston Speakers

Forums

I am inquiring if forum members can comment on the Eggleston Ivy, Savoy, and/or Andra III speakers.

Secondly, I have not been successful locating on-line Eggleston speaker reviews. They rarely appear in any review magazine or on-line listing.

Might anyone know of some on-line reviews?

Many Thanks!
