Help me pick some new or used speaker cables
I just started using Audio Art cables.  I started with their jumpers and they had a sound , so I bought a pair of their Statement e Series speaker cables and they also made a  positive change in the sound of my system. All the best.

@pjw81563  I am happy to say All Night Long, is on Qobuz and I am happily listening to it now.  What a great group of musicians!

Berkeley Audio Design and MQA?

Here's to the temperate, the gentle, the moderates in audio
I am subscribed to all the names mentioned and I quickly ran away from several who are not. But one name I just resubscribed to is Jays Audio Lab. Some of his videos are actually fun to listen too.
