| New power cable for streamer. @Richard,I don't think you mentioned which model of cable you bought.John Rutan told me to start with the sources and work you way down.He also said that amps are the one component that cables can either sound great or worse.B | |

| Diffuser or absorber behind listening position....and is it worth doing?? @OP, Nice looking room. I love having a fireplace-though mine is gas. Something about a mantle seems so warm and cozy...In any case, I see two arched entryways near the speakers. They seem to be somewhat at different angles from the speakers. This... | |
