Aah, OK - thanks, S.

 

Yes, the Satori cones look very similar (I've just bought a pair for a spkr build I am in the process of doing).

The best-looking power strip I have ever seen. I want one.

Clearaudio Innovation turntable. I love how open it looks with the minimalistic design and the wood/silver combo ?

We took four pages to get to the LS50?
