    Audioquest Cable EXPERIENCE

    I love how a new poster always jumps in claiming their wives could clearly hear a major difference when swapping out cables. I occasionally get emails like this only the wife usually hears a clear difference all the way from the kitchen :rolleyes: In any event, if you perceive a difference...

    Intelligent Design NOT Science according to Vatican! Its nice to see religious organizations acknowledge that ID is NOT science based and does NOT belong in biology classes. Philosophy / Theology that’s another story. Intelligent Design NOT Science: Vatican Paper

    Audioquest Cable EXPERIENCE

    Coiling cable will actually increase inductance. Given the length, the # of turns and bandwidth you use audio cables, it won't make too much of a difference in your case, but it definately doesn't help anything. There is absolutely no sane reason to keep speaker cables equal length, especially...

    Club Polk's bashing Audioholics

    Audioquest Cable EXPERIENCE

    thats a load of crapola. While Silver is a slightly better conductor than copper, simply using a tad more copper to compensate would yield identicle conductivity and resistivity. I can't believe people still expend so much energy and thought about cables (the least significant chain in an...

    Try closing on a house days before CES, dealing with the builder to fix stuff the day you are leaving, and getting 3-4hrs of sleep/night at CES. I wonder how much smiling you will be doing ;)
