Speaker Wire for Popular Budget System
Is this the same speaker here:https://www.crutchfield.com/S-0nLT41xyX9Y/shopsearch/klipsch_rp600m.html?XVINQ=GW2&XVVer=T44&...Well, I am not sure it's worth the trouble.  The speakers are sold for 699 per pair.  You may end up spending mor... 
Break-In is Brutal
While I don't dispute the effect / necessity of break-in, a bad cable will sound bad no matter how much break-in you give.  An new BWM won't drive like an Yugo during it's first 200-500 hours, just saying. I may disagree if only a little.  I o... 
New cables - To judge now or after burn in period?

Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!!
If it is a liquid substance, then wouldn't it evaporate after awhile?  And what is left would be the residue - like powder?  Or maybe a over-coat much like applying shellac on wood?  But then the residue, or whatever that is, after a long period w...

Your thoughts on active loudspeakers
Active has some good advantages, but the complexity and the inflexibility make them not worth the trouble. That’s why a majority of speakers are and will still be passive.  Cheap class D are not going to cut it.  Full blown active that are any goo...

Same with wine tasting.  Personally I am not sure I can tell much beyond a $25 bottle of wine.  But audio I am a little bit better. 
Power cord choice?
A crack in the Standard model?  Fast forward to 5:30 if you don't want to wait.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PMcRNRtuHs 
Power cord choice?
I guess I am the moron now. I’d rather trust you guys over Armirm at Audio science Review. He’s not that accomplished of a guy, I looked him up, He probably bought that $28,000 piece of review equipment off of the interest he made on his money t... 
Power cord choice?
All right, you guys win. If you can’t soak in some science from guys that are more experienced than most of us on this forum I guess I’ll give up. Who’s the moron now? The morons are those who believe in anything without questioning.  Yes, e...
