Need Good Advice - Speaker Cable
Attempting to distinguish differences during a relatively short term experiment is absolutely beside the point and irrelevant. Who cares? That's where these tests fail to be pertinent. Preferences are the point and cannot ever be made in that type...

NAD 270/NAD C350

You could sell your C350 and buy a C370 and save a lot of money and get pretty much the same result. I've seen the C370's go for $350.
