Best digital cable to audition?
Readster, My understanding is a digital cables impedance, inductance, total length, internal reflectance and quality of terminations all play a role in its ability to preserve data.Lots of discussion here at Audiogon on the subject, including the ...

kana813, between the Sony and Scott Nixon tube DAC and between the Sony and DTS decoder before going into my Aesthetix. 
Why are audiophiles perceived as being wackos?
NASCAR does embrace the technology, regardless of whether you respect that part of the sport or not. So, race people DO CRYO treat spark plugs even if you do not approve of the team, the driver or the country they represent. This began with Eldar...

Your right Bob, Joe Gibbs Racing, like Bose, has been very successful. Joe has won nearly $32,000,000.00 in just over a decade. Not bad for a small shop in the Carolinas.Joe Gibbs 
Why are audiophiles perceived as being wackos?

Why am I experiencing listener's fatigue?

Beatles: Help ?
I agree Warren, $250.00 for your set (unplayed) would be a steal. ThatÂ’s only about $20.00 an album. I hope you do put your analog back into service and give those special albums a spin. If so, tell us how much were missing :^). 
Speaker Stands Filled With Kitty Litter? TRUE???
Your a good sport 3zub. Truth is the kitty litter probably would be fine, it's basically CLAY. I have experimented with white (clean) sand, sand plus lead (80%/20% mix) and sand blast grade silica. Certainly kitty litter is cheaper and safer than ...
