| Burn your power cables in PROPERLY with Haglabs Frycorder @retiredfarmer I'm one of those cheapskates who invested 6 years of my time and lots of money gaining a Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering. As such, I know enough about electricity to not know that there is nothing worth trying here. | |
| Help me pick some new or used speaker cables @stealthdeburgo Absolutely agree. Twin Flex, the same stuff that is in your walls should suffice. That said, if you buy second hand cable, do you need to 'break it in' again to hear the difference? asking for a friend :-) | |
