@slaw my post wasn’t directed at you. In fact, I didn’t see your post before I posted.   My post was merely to point out that many buy alot of disparate gear and drop in a cable without any basis for doing so other than “I wonder if these will w... 
Let's talk about Silver...
Such a humorous topic. By nature and in general, audiophiles are prone to mix and match with very little empirical data to go by. Brand A preamp may sound ok to your ears with Brand B amp and Brand C speakers. Then, there is a guy making speaker c... 
Equipment insurance coverage
