Will A Perfect Audio System Ever Exist? Thought provoking? Nope.
It became more than perfect long time ago and perfecting it with wires, furniture and other crap didn't work.  
Instruments that shine in your system
For the moment I thought about my instrument light on my Pioneer SA9800 amp. It shines really beautiful. One of the most beautiful amps I've ever had in the original wood case. Hammond B3 really shines on my system probably because I really like ... 
How crucial is the quality of a digital cable?
You can spend $10 or $10k for digital cable, but which one will sound better, you never know if not looking directly onto those point blank. It means that those saying that there are no differences are 99.999% correct leaving 0.0001% for wrong so ...
