Trebejo, you crack me up:
Quote: "go down to your local university and talk to anyone at the EE department about whether the various wires you obtained can do anything special (I know what they'll say, and I agree with them)."
That advice makes a lot of sense if what you want to hear is a real voice in a real space... at the university. However, I want to hear music in my own home, and different wires make the music sound better or worse. Why not advise the newbie to try the wires in his system and enjoy them? If he can try others and likes them more, who is some EE to tell him he doesn't enjoy them?
