| Dust Settled Consensus- is the Benchmark AHB2 an Audiophile Amplifier? Guess what? You can have it both ways. Precision from your Benchmark can be colored with euphonic tube like distortion on the days you want it for just a few bucks and a little soldering. | |

| Cable design is a lot like creating a pizza @rodman99999 I have no doubt that there are many using cables as tone controls, which simply goes to show: cables CAN/DO make a difference in reproduction. However: everyone I know that uses high-end cables, regardless of position in ... | |
| Cable design is a lot like creating a pizza @jumia A very good analogy! So I’ll have a plain pizza and add my own toppings of amp and dac and DSP please. | |
| Any fans of Ken Peplowski here? Hope you like him. I agree, smooth swing is his thing. But his recordings are also technically right too which adds a lot to the experience. | |
| Why not? @soix and @holmz Funny story about that. A friend lent me a pair of MIT Terminator2 speaker cables. I put them in my system, replacing some Crutchfield generic cables, and was amazed! Clarity, texture! I was so smitten I bought a pair of MIT Term... | |

| Why not? If I may @ghdprentice you commented earlier on that this problem had occurred to you as well. You have spent a lot more time and money than me in the pursuit of sonic excellence and I think you said in another thread that you had been in the tech... | |
| Why not? @roxy54 i’m not sure which statement you are referring to. | |

| Why not? It feels like we are gathering momentum here! Thanks for all the contributions. Here is a summary of what has been shared so far, just so future readers don't have to pick through the entire thread. I will do this periodically as a service. I hope... | |
| Do older power cables still hold up to newer ones? Recently (past 5 years) some cable manufacturers have incorporated "newer thinking" … The question is whether the thinking occurred in the marketing department or in the design team? if in the design team what inspired them? Is there such a... | |
