why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
Hopefully, someone will come up with the way which will not make looks and function mutually exclusive. In fact, it is hard to believe that they have to be that way.Just briefly visiting and seeing the first teo_audio picture (blue cable), I would...

glennewdick,"No mater what side of the fence your on with cables looks has something to do with it as well."I have been trying to point that out on a number of occasions. Interestingly so, anything else on cable threads gets debated to the ridicul... 
No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need
b4icu,Thanks for all of this. I completely forgot about the weight which may become an issue. I guess, I could try with a little thinner cable that would be easier fit. It just seems like some easy game that is not that hard to do and costs quite ...

Does this image give you claustrophobia?
"Like I said everyone knows Mac owners purchase more for looks than for sound, quality."They got a better deal than most. They got a good sound as a bonus with the looks they like. You cannot beat that.I do not have McIntosh anything and have no p...

WHAT HAPPENED TO SONUS FABER?
Venere S was on my list of two when buying speakers. Sound was fine, but speakers did feel the way I worried they would when it comes to craftmanship. They were advertised as "Made in Italy", unlike the rest of the Venere line. I walked away, but ...

"Whay do you think that you own now the optimal cable to your setup?"The sound comes out of the speakers.What is this thread about? Four sentences out of which three are statements which seem to imply some undisputable facts. The fourth one is the... 
HUMIDITY
Is it safe to assume that all above posts were talking about relative humidity? 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
prof,"If we are going to wonder about motivations, geoffkait would seem the place to start."To quote (or probably misquote to some extent) you from a day or two ago...don't let your dinner get cold because of that.
