Is a cable cooker worth it?
If you are dealing with Designs and compatibility issues and do not have time to wait for breakin you better believe they are worth it!I just orderd one from Hagerman which might not be exactly what I want,but I will it will help till I build one.JMO 
Two different cable pairs from amp into speakers
Do both speaker cables need to be the same length? The cables must be of similar length. If the two speaker cables are not close to each other in resistance, and inductance, the damping will be different. The capacitance will be different and the... 
Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
A cheaper alternative to OTA for a lesser price. I am breaking the wire in right now. You can write me and I will discuss what I found. 
Unequal cable lengths for home theater????
I think it matter for the same Channels. Example same lengths for the L&R on the Mains 10ft. ea.. Surround Rear Channels L&R 15ft. ea..You might not notice it ,but the impedance of the amp channels will. It is putting an uneven strain on t...

What Lacquers have been used on cables with succes
Just thought I would mention that someone had told me that Caigs Pro Gold or another of their cleaners is similar to Lighter fluid. Weather this is true or not I do not know ,you'd have to verify to be certain.I will post a compiled list to what o... 
What benefit do bullet plugs add to ICs?
I have found that the Eichs are the easiest Plugs thus far to work with,but like others here I do think the plug has to be mated with certain types of wire to sound best.I was really surprised to find that I liked the sound of the Dayton WBT knock... 
Which artists do you just not get?
Celine Dion-Yeah,I was stupid enough to get TITanic and 2 others I think because of a remark from a friend,but I only spent like $2-$3 each for them.KORN and Hansons are a few other worthless CD's I have.Matthew Sweet I do not much from! There are... 
Which artists do you just not get?
I am glad I only wasted $3 for a Radiohead CD. The rest I traded CDR's for.What about Trading CDR's? Why not start a thread relating to it. I have over 300CD's from Trading Music and it has saved me alot!Are there any idea's?We would have to send ... 
Power Conditioning? What About Tripp Lite??
No, Power Conditioner is going to be good really,but I have confered with someone that usess one and he is in the Biz and swears they are good enough for regular frontend components.Anytime you insert something in the loop it will have a sinature ... 
Interconnects with Eichmann bullet plugs?
The thing that I like about the Eichmanns is how easy they are to work with,but I do not believe for a minute that they are the best in all cables that they are used with. Most all cables are not truely tested to see what might give the best sound... 
Good speaker wire limited budget Spica Angelus
There will never be agreement on what gauges to use,but another factor is how long do the runs have to be.Inductance and resistance come into to play with the longer the runs. I use 26AWG going to my Tweeters and 18AWG going to my Woofer in a Bi-W... 
Good cables for my rear speakers
Build your own speaker wires if you are looking to save $$. I am trying SIlver at the moment,but you should be able to fifnd Spoo;s of Thick Gauged Copper then Litz Braid them or twist them into runs and terminate them yourself.There is alway Beld... 
What Lacquers have been used on cables with succes
I will try them without the Barrel.Vampires I looked at. How are they to work with with uninsulated wires?THX! 
What Lacquers have been used on cables with succes
Just to elaborate.It was the Daytons I liked in low priced RCAs and I really cannot see Capacitance being a factor in the sound after thinking about it. It is to minimal.I will try HG's because of the cost. They are Rhodium / Silver Standard RCAs....
