Re: The most dynamic, well recorded music you have heard to date....
Yellow - Touch should be in everyone's musical library. It gets regular rotation here often. Fantastic album and fantastic recording. This type of album fits perfectly with this thread.

Re: Post a picture.....any picture...part deux...
New Years Eve marketplace buy. I needed some Scotch 203 for the two Teac A-6300's to calibrate bias # 2 setting. Bias # 1 was calibrated for new tape, LPR35. 203 isn't known for sticky shed syndrome. I can include some when I sell the deck(s).
203 for $8 each, new LX for $20 and the Realistic switch box for $6.

Re: Speaker Jumpers
I use biwired speaker cables with speakers that have two sets of binding posts to avoid the jumper issue altogether. At least that's what I say.
I've always thought it a gimmick to have two sets of binding posts on run of the mill home speakers. They're not needed in almost all cases.
Same, I have biwired speaker cables in my 2 channel set-up, my HT I just leave the jumpers, because I don’t care there..🤣

Re: Speaker Jumpers
Also biwire cables are just really long jumpers, just saying
Depends how they were made...I made a custom DIY set of bi-wire shotgun cables with Nanotec Golden Strada and I essentially made them with a built in jumpers that were soldered together inside of the first pair of spades.
Not the best aesthetically, but they sound great. I used this set with my SS-M9 for about 10 years. I went with something different when I brought the Revels home.

Re: Speaker Jumpers
I had a couple pairs of the old PS Audio Statement speaker cables (bought cheap!) that had the different metal composition for the top and bottom. I remember they were kind of rich and smooth sounding, definitely not neutral, but that's what I needed back then with bright RTi series speakers. They turned out to be way too inflexible for long term use.

Re: Review: Benchmark AHB2 Amp
I think Dan's tended to be a home theater receiver kind of guy and not a super heavy separate amp kind of guy.
Different perspective from purchasers of different kinds of amps. I'm a class A, AB, D, G, H, tube, and hybrid guy.
You're right about that. I have amps just laying around and no need for any of them at this time.

Realistic Tape Control Center
Picked this up for $6 today with some tape. Nice shape. Dissembled and cleaned switches/RCAs.

Re: The most dynamic, well recorded music you have heard to date....
I discovered YELLO this year too.
I've bought more than a few of their CDs after I heard the first one. Some songs are musical experiences to wonder at.
Listen to POCKET UNIVERSE on a quiet, calm, warm night in a barely lit room.
I posted a link to the whole album here on this forum a few months ago. I was blown away listening through my Polk Audio SDA-SRS2s. 
Here it is again.

I was reading a review of a pair of amps I think it was the other day, maybe speakers, and their cost...100,000.00 a pair. What did the reviewer try as one of the sample songs?, YELLO's "ELECTRIFIED". He loved it!
