| What speaker do you passionately want to demo? I'd like to hear the Legacy V set up with the Wavelet system. I have issues with having to use their control/preamp/DAC equipment as it ties up a big chunk of change but would give them the benefit of the doubt until I hear the system. | |

| Power cord choice? @cleeds I agree that no one test can be held up as universally true. However, that doesn't explain why there is no apparent difference in sound when the new high-end cable is put into service? How can the improvement in sound not be obvious to... | |
| Power cord choice? @raysmtb1 Thanks for that video link. I actually watched the entire 30 minutes. Although it pertained to audio signals being passed through various wires, I assume the results can be attached to PCs as well. I recently took the plunge and boug... | |
