Hi guys,

My friend, who "retired" from this great hobby gave away some of his stuff that he had in a basement for some years now.

He gave me his expensive cables that are 4 times thicker than my previous ones (even though I had decent ones). He also gave away his

Sony C222ES CD player
Sony SCD-C222ES Multichannel SACD 5-disc changer at Crutchfield.com


Monster HTS 5100 power center
Amazon.com: Monster HTS 5100 10-Outlet Power Center with Stage 4 Clean Power: Electronics

Question ,.,...... when I A/B test speakers and my old ones did not have these EXTRAS ... is it still a fair test between speakers? receivers?

thank you.

As a rule, I would say no, but in that situation, once I decide which speaker I prefer, I make sure I still prefer them after "handicapping" them with the lessor cables/gear.
