Look at systems for three days-perfect! :) 
Differences between various Quantum devices
I was being facetious, but I'm not surprised at your conclusion. 
Wouldyou have another brand speaker next to mains
You have stumbled upon one of the greatest ways of extracting maximum fun from this hobby. 
Do powercords make a difference in sound?
So, whatever became of Liguy's experiments with different power cords? The last I heard of him he was going to borrow some with different geometries, total gauge - in other words quite different than he had been using - and test them out to see wh...

Congratulations, Teejay! Good for you! You obviously have a deep love of the gear and the hobby, as can be seen from your extensive involvement here. Blessings to you in your endeavor. 
Are you an Audiophile?
Theo's a Vetran Cosmic Rocker! (No offence intended, if you've ever actually thought through the lyrics!) 
Balanced / single ended night and day difference
Always compare XLR to RCA of same model IC if possible. I don't recall any brand/model of IC that I have used where the sound was absolutely identical between RCA/XLR, even though I have used some very high end cables. The similarity between the t...

Be flexible about it. 
Do powercords make a difference in sound?
Chad, you do have the right perspective; give it a shot to see if it's meritorious. Unlike some extreme sports there's very little permanent scarring. ;)But I would urge you to work with at least 2 or three cables of one manufacturer (i.e. 2 or 3 ... 
Do powercords make a difference in sound?
(poking my nose back in for a moment...)Paperw8, you do harm to your argument with such illustrations that stretch credibility. I sense you are quite passionate about your position, but you hurt yourself when you suggest...-That a person be wary o... 
Do powercords make a difference in sound?
Mrtennis, my sincere apologies if I offended you before. I was able to find and thought of lifting quotes from this site where you describe the sound characteristics of particular components, something you suggest cannot be done. But, frankly, it ... 
Do powercords make a difference in sound?
Tbg, Mrtennis will almost invariably take an audiophile reductionist/agnostic viewpoint, i.e. that one can know little to nothing about sound, setting up systems, etc. absolutely. While this may be true philosophically, I find it obfuscates learni... 
Do powercords make a difference in sound?
Rwwear, ok, I respect your response, thank you. When discussing with Liguy it appeared that he had tried only similar cables and was now interested in trying ones with dissimilar build/design. Is that perhaps also the case for you? I'm sure the Kr... 
Do powercords make a difference in sound?
Mrtennis, given your perspective in this matter perhaps your reviews should come with a disclaimer: "I can't really determine what this component sounds like because I used it in a system, and I have no clue what it might sound like in your system...
