Help me identify Kimber speaker cable
4tc for sure.  They have changed the color from black/blue to transparent/white, claiming that it sounds better....it is certainly more transparent. 
Is there a Blu-Ray player that does SACD and has Audiophile quality sound?
I have done the same search a couple years ago, and i finally settled for a $250 yamaha bd s677.  Pleasntly surprised how smooth and musical it is straight into the integrated with its analog out (canare lv61s).  Sound quality goes way beyond my m...

Vandersteen 1C's to replace Paradigm Studio 40's??
