Comparing Audioquest cable to Morrow
But headphones aren't better than big 100lb audiophile grade speakers. More convenient and practical perhaps, but not better.

Mapman, I take your point. This is no doubt true.

Thanks a lot.

Is $500 unrealistic?

I'd be uncomfortable going over $500. I'm talking speaker cable now.

I am aware that I might be getting old and cranky. But I thought the Grammies were much better than previous few years and choose to think that great music is coming back. And Magman is probably right. But the good music is not as easy to find as ...

I've always thought of Cardas as being sludgey and colored--I mean too musical. But the cable company would give me the answer. Maybe I'd love it and then I could drop the Cardas name all over and impress my friends.

Hi Loomis,My theory is that there isn't that much music or talent to choose from like there was in the great old days. If Paul Simon (or any of the greats) came out with one of his killer albums (and he could still sing), would Sam Smith have swep...

OK Lance. Thanks. I would message you--careful on the language here since buying on the forums is not cool--but any hint of brightness is a red light for me. My ears are oversensitive; I like things dull. So thanks to you I won't be trying Clear D... 
vintage versus modern speakers
I don't disagree with all of the above, but I would add that The Doors LA Woman album for example is very listenable because in part at least it was not overmixed. Some of the old Chicago as well. I admit though my editions are remastered as well....

I bought my AR9's new in 1981, and at the time the critics agreed that you could buy bigger and more expensive speakers but not better ones. And Infinities and ADS were around at the time, and the AR line-up outperformed every other speaker I hear...

Thanks, John. Very good to know.BTW, I did contact Steve Nugent. He says he does not make cable anymore, although FYI, he says he has a new killer digital coax that buries the older one for $250. I don't know which one I have, but the one I have i...
