| Best way to extend a dedicated power line? Crimp type butt splices work great on stranded wire but not on solid. Only if the wire connection, after making the crimp connection, is soldered will the butt splices hold up with time. If not soldered, in time the splice will loosen causing arci... | |

| cable doubter no more Carlos269, Here is an example of what I am trying to get at. The ARC Ref 3 preamp retails for $9995.The BAT Rex preamp $20,000......Both great preamps I am sure.Would you say the BAT will sound twice as good as the ARC?Or maybe only 5% better? Or ... | |
| cable doubter no more Carlos269, I don't consider Best Buy or Circuit City as Hi-End equipment retailers...... | |
| cable doubter no more Carlos269, in regards to your last post I can only assume you would agree the same argument can be said for audio equipment itself....... Only a small percentage of difference in sound is gained by mega bucks equipment compared to that of moderate... | |
