blue jeans cable?
The differences that one can hear between cables of the same gauge is probably caused by the type of connectors, not the wire itself. 
Magnepan 1.7s in a 10x13' dedicated room?
I have had MMGs and MG12s in a 11x11 room completely treated with acoustic foam. Speakers were about 2ft from back walls/corners with foam colomns behind, and it sounded fine... great imaging and tones, on axis of course. 
Best speaker cable for Krell/Dynaudio?
I think you would be perfectly fine with blue jean cables. 
Recommend a SPDIF cable
Canare of course. 
I'm studying MIT cables
I opened a the boxes on some 750 cvt speaker cables, and I found what looked like a tiny resistance glued on the stripped wires. The craftmanship was very sloppy to say the least, and there was really no need for that big box. Back then, 2004, the... 
Rega RS5s - side ports in or out?
I have the RS5s and J stereo says it all. I have the woofers out, as the speakers are on each side of a TV /stereo cabinet. 
Does anyone have any experience with PSB Speakers
I have a pair of Image t5. They are on the warm side, laid back, smooth, very acceptable overall sound for the money. I would say that their strengths are in the small foot print, slim cabinets, and the amount of bass impact they can produce. They... 
RS5s - upper or lower connections?
I have the RS5 and love them!!!!I have them bi-wired with canare 4s11 and they really are nice. What I would do on yours though, if you are not going with a bi-wire arrangement, is replace the little metallic bars with 12 gauge wires. You can't go... 
Entry-level speaker cables
Whatever Bluejeans propose...There's no need to spend more. Just cover them with techflex and they will look pretty too. 
which floor speaker up to 1500.00
I have dozen of speakers in small rooms (11x11) and medium size (12x16) in the past 12 years... dynaudio, vandersteen, magnepan, b&w, martin logans, psb, DIY... I do have a pair of rega rs5, and these are the best compromise imho.I would take ... 
Budget-Friendly Interconnects?
Canare lv-61, lv-77 orBlue jean lc-1orbelden 82859 (signal cable) 
Need some help. Rega RS5s over PSB Imagine Ts?
Bleslie,Do you have your rs5 setup? How do you like them? Any recordings you would advise getting? 
Some speaker cables produce lower/higher volume?
yes, due to what counts the most: gauge. A good experiment is comparing canare 4s11 against canare 4s6 for example... same wire, different gauge. 
Need some help. Rega RS5s over PSB Imagine Ts?
I am listening to charles mingus now, with a MSB DAC and a Marantz pm8004... I love my RS5, which I bought in September 2011, even though I am not too crazy about Mingus ah hum brought home a few minutes ago. What is your amplification? 
Need some help. Rega RS5s over PSB Imagine Ts?
I agree with Shubert above... rega shines on acoustic/vocals, while for rock/nu disco I'd go with PSBs... too bad you can't get both.I have the Rega Rs5 and a pair of image t5.Image t5 are not in the same league as the rega; after all this is the ...
