Exposure 2010S integrated amplifier

Exposure 2010S integrated amplifier

Yet another of the best systems I've ever heard at a hi-fi show was an exhibit by some former distributors for the English manufacturer Exposure Electronics, at a Chicago Consumer Electronics Show in the late 1980s. The exhibitors seemed to believe it was better to impress with a humble product than to overwhelm with a full-bore assault, because they limited their display to a single amplifier: the then-new Exposure X (as in "10") integrated, mated to a record player comprising a <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/turntables/1103linn">Linn LP12</A> turntable, <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/tonearms/395">Ekos</A&gt; tonearm, and Troika cartridge, and a pair of Linn Kan loudspeakers.

Long interconnects vs. long speaker wire

I was recently in the process of building a second system where I had the need for either:

1) 3 ft interconnects, 17 ft speaker cables
2) 17 ft interconnects, 9 ft speaker cables

When I did the research, I found that there are divided opinions on this subject. I understand that long interconnects are more subject to picking up noise from other sources, but that was not a factor in my case. Amplifier power was also not a factor.

new speakers on EBAY with less cost and no warranty

Forums

Gang,

I am planning to buy a new Denon 3805 Receiver and Primus 360 speakers. I have noticed that Denon 3805 (List price ~ $ 1000) is available on EBAY for around ~$ 700. However there is no manufacturer warranty available. These receivers are being sold as brand new (and is being said that these are NOT B cat. or returned).
Infinity Primus, similiarly, are available for about $350 + s&h. List price is considerably higher.

What is the catch here ? Are these really brand new ? if so why is there is no warranty provided ??

Letter of the Year

For years I have greeted the arrival of the current Stereophile by reading the letters. Far and away, Karim Fidel's is the best I've ever read. Since it appears in the issue where the year's outstanding products are listed, I propose it be awarded some sort of prize or other recognition. Great stuff, great comedy style, great final sentence.
