Nothing new except the cables, but I had this complaint before.   
Bad idea?
@squared80 I would spend $1000 on speaker cables if I was convinced they made a big difference in sound but I am on the fence regarding cables. For me, it's hard to dismiss all the positive reviews and the whole cable industry's claims (are there ... 
Bad idea?
@soix Thanks for pointing out the AZ cables. I'm very tempted. Indecision is holding me back. I borrowed Shunyata Gammas and Cardas Persecs from the Cable Company. I think they both sound somewhat better than my old Cardas Quadlinks and Monster Po...

Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?

Do I need upgraded power cables?
@acman3  I was going to go the used cable route until I found that The Cable Company is about 5 miles from home. So, no shipping costs. I borrowed the Parsecs and the Shunyata Gamma interconnects and speaker cables.  
Do I need upgraded power cables?

Do I need upgraded power cables?
Good day ladies and gents Thanks to all for the advice. I decided to go The Cable Company Lending Library route. Presently, the Cardas Persec interconnects and speaker cables are hooked up. Replacing Monster powerline 2 and cardas quadlink. It wa...

Do I need upgraded power cables?
Thanks audioman58 for your suggestions. You are the third person who did not look favorably on the Panamax. I do plan on replacing it.   
Do I need upgraded power cables?
Hello soix. I'm looking into the acoustic zens. Just wondering why you suggested them. And if you don't mind - what do you think about about Cardas Persecs? They were recommended to me. Thanks
