I just received earlier tonight the second-hand Hi-Cap I bought through Audiogon.com.I took a deep look at it - it looks great. Not a scratch. It fully deserves the 8/10 rating the seller gave it.I hook it to my 102/140 and turn the knob to turn the...

Hi there,I'm planning to upgrade my 102 to a 252. Not having a Supercap yet I'm not sure if a second hand Scap1 would be reasonable together with he new 252. Or shall I better wait and go for the newer (ScapII) version? Is there a huge difference...

Having got a pair of Harbeth Compact 7es2, I now want to get the best out of them. They are currently on top of filled Atacama SE24s.I realise this isn't the best place for them and would welcome suggestions for some more suitable stands.
