Audience Au24 SX Speaker Cable Impressions, VS?

What is an excellent power cable?
I can't recommend any audioquest power cords..they don't improve sound in my opinion.nordost are nice but can be a little on the bright side not to mention big $$$$. Had great success with oyaide tunami and it's well within your budget. .really li...

Going from computer audio to dedicated streamer
I've been using bluesound vault for 2 years now and I love it. .I have the first model. Try putting some nordost sort cones under it that will improve your experience even more.

Can I use a step up transformer?
