    When will it end?

    <font color='#000000'>Rob; I agree. &nbsp;PLII does wonders on music, especially on two channel CD. &nbsp;I LOVE it and wouldn't consider a new piece of A/V gear without it! PLIIx is another story though I will refrain from commenting until I hear a peice of gear that incorporates it.</font>

    Recomend me some cables!

    <font color='#000000'>Andrew; I don't want to let the cat out of the bag too much, but I just measured the Axiom cables and they are very impressive. &nbsp;The only downside I see so far is they only offer spade connectors. &nbsp;However, very impressive cable, regardless of price.</font>
