Connoisseur BD2/SAU2
I used to have this Connoisseur BD2 with SAU2 duo , bought it new I guess
mid 70's, and made my own plinth for it. It's possible to get a good sound

the old memory plays tricks sometimes, but I just know I've read a detailed
technical article on the subject, and WW was...

Thanks. I also don't actually disbelieve the 'measurements are all that
matters' brigade, it's just that they're all using the wrong measurements!

hi-fi versus AV- why?
I'm convinced the truth of cable sound is that some people can hear it and
some can't, and that's all there is to it so it's a total waste of time

I'm only guessing as I don't have an AV amp, but as there are so many
channels and facilities all fighting for space in the case, I assume they
use IC power amps to save room rather than the...
