Cryogenically treated cables
"Cryogenically treating anything improves its performance. And someone recently posted, even putting cables in the home freezer for 48 hours offers a very noticeable improvement."As I mentioned in that same thread, freezing works only for ice-crea...

Recommend speakers for a large living room
dpal,Thanks for the answer. I guess I narrowed your location to a few blocks as I was imagining SoHo. I really do not think places of that composition exist outside SoHo, Tribeca, or maybe a few more spots on the island. I am sorry that I have no ...
