| Don't get it, why anyone would ask others "what sounds best"? @edcyn,Don't ya just love it when it does that?@OP, P.S. ohm, from reading your post, we have some similarities. Your opinion could matter to me now I know a few of your preferences. ;) I think you just answered your own question.When you find o... | |
| Re-terminate speaker cables @OP,Sorry to hear AQ didn't respond.Alasdair is usually pretty good at getting back.In any case, AQ terminals can be user replaced, just get the ends you want and use a jewelers screwdriver.In your case, you could simply stack two spades together.... | |

| Ethernet cables I found the biggest difference between CAT 6 and 6a,7/8, is the foil grounding between the pairs.It never hurts to have electrical things grounded.Actually, it never hurts many things to be grounded -especially in fact.B | |

| power conditioners in $3000 to $5000 range Audioquest would be my pick.There was a review comparing the Niagra to a PS Audio unit, but I seemed to have deleted the bookmark.Bob | |
