Audiophile Electrocution
His real name is Edgar Cayce Jr. 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
I drive a '99 M3, but admire the style of Audis. I like the A4 circa '02, '03 before they made the rear tail lights so long. Classy, sexy, and look like they've been carved from a single piece of granite. Solid!Alcides, I'm still amazed a pair of ...

Exactly, Newmanoc, heheh. 
I love this hobby-
Is that like Photoshop tennis? 
Longer Power Cords Sound better?

Pass Labs Aleph P vs X-1

Longer Power Cords Sound better?
ROMEX? Out done again, rats!Ie, if you hear a difference, by all means do it! Especially if it's a VH Audio DIY Flavor cord. I like Chris's stuff. I may just buy the components to make a 20 footer to see if I CAN hear a difference. But this time I...
