recommended speaker cables and interconnects
Boy, cables can be a quagmire. There are good cables for your system at all price ranges. The difficulty is finding the right match.  I'm off the speaker cable search with Fideliums now for 2 years. Not inexpensive, but not stratospheric in price...

Review of Rogue Audio RP-9 preamp

I borrowed ingredients from you folks and decided to mix them with potting soil. I looked at topsoil, but it is filled with sticks and twigs. Once you mix in the shungite, magnesium, carbon, and copper chop, it takes on a much different consistenc...
