| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? @panzrwagn right, I'm not saying it was apples to apples with the OP's question, but impressive a/b considering they likely weren't using zip-wire from Bestbuy before the swap.

| Rules of Thumb when spending on speakers and amps There’s a chance the traditional price ratio equation is being up ended now with class D …. Combined with direct to consumer sales model. I listen to a wide variety of music, and my speakers are quite efficient - so my recommendation for somethin... | |
| Who is excited about Capital Audiofest 2023? I Purchased the BACCH4Mac earlier this week, not the universal, but the one step up so that I can use the optional in ear mics… 3-4 week lead time. I plan on visiting booth 549. The rest of my system is solid, and I’m very happy with the sou... | |
