| Balanced cables Robert, this conversation can serve no purpose any longer. | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? I believe that’s called a drive-by shooting. Bang, bang! | |
| Balanced cables Robert from Star Sound, you have either intentionally or deliberately misrepresented what I said. As usual with your choleric rants spiced up with bizarre personal vendetta inspired diatribes it’s difficult to say which. | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? I suspect this whole debate, a debate that pits one camp against another camp is probably a holdover from the 80s when such limited views of audio were developed and promulgated by audio magazines and reviewers and audiophiles. What is needed, I s... | |
| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... + 1 on the Fisher 500C. I bought one at a yard sale for $1 and had BWS Consulting upgrade it, including putting in some Bendix aircraft quality tubes. My Fisher 500C drove Fulton Nuance floorstanders for many years. No complaints here. | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? willemjIn fact, it is more than that: demand for them goes up, the higher the price, perhaps precisely because of the high price.

| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... Oh, great! What’s next, transistor rolling? 🤡 | |

| Shun Mook Record Weight I have heard just one Shun Mook Mpingo disc, which is a little bitty thing, transform a system. And not some average system but a big old monster system. I admit it takes a little while to find a place in the room that produces that transformation... | |
| speaker cable prices abzrd, I’m afraid you’re not following me. I’m talking about any cable or fuse or cord, whether it’s the speaker cable, interconnect, digital cable, fuse or power cord. Any wire anywhere, transformer, internal wiring, anywhere. They’re all directi... | |
| speaker cable prices azbrdgeoffkait, you endorse Goertz cables because they understand wire directionality. >>>>>Actually that’s not exactly what I said. I said I endorse Goertz cables. Period. Then I added, plus they understand wire directionality. azb... | |
