testiengraber.  Yes, I have the USB, best I have tried.  For USB I have used Audioquest, Kimber Axios and Technerov.    
Biwiring make any sense?
Dumb question.  How about owning biwire speaker cables but the speakers have only two terminals instead of 4?   Is the signal split and flows into the naked or unhooked up wire?  Any negative impact on the sound from that?  
Has anybody heard the Dynaudio Evoke 50?
I just set up the Evoke 50s in one of my systems.  Sounds good out of the box.  Does this speaker have a long run in time?

Lak, that is not the case with my set.  There are two wires coming out of the speaker cable, one for each side.  There is a separate wire that is not attached to anything that goes to the outlet ground connector.  I will give Captain a call

Lak, thanks, I get that part, but there are two other wires, one for each speaker cable side, that I assume go on the terminals of the amp. If so which output terminal? I already have Rel Subwoofer wire on some of the output terminals.   I took ...

Jetter, I have the SP-14s.  I just hooked them up, not sure how to hook up the ground wire so I have to call Cap to figure that out.  But just the speaker cables alone, there was a noticeable difference between the SP-14s and the Canare.  The SP-1...

Will do Jetter. I know the Canare are cheap, but my goodness they seem pretty darn good to me. I haven’t found anything worth replacing them with yet. I haven’t tried extremely expensive stuff as cables go. The most expensive was some $2400 Audien...

I like the IC so much I ordered the SP-14 speaker cables.  I currently have the Canare 4s11, which I really really like.  I also ordered the USB cable to give it a try.

I am perplexed by the brightness take.  I'm not experiencing that, at all.    Lak, in the comments Hans said he burned it in for 168 hours before starting the review.

Yes, but keep in mind at the time of this posting I only have about 22 hours on them. The AEs have more coherence, detail, and extension. Instruments have more spacing and definition within the stage. Guitars specifically have more crunch. The Due... 
Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions
The X3s had the advantage because of the Burmester electronics in front of them.  Despite that, your Harbeths won out anyway.

I put the Studio Prestige in the system about two hours ago. Sounds great out of the bag, very balanced, well extended and  plenty of detail. I was expecting them to sound hard and bright and then settle in over time. They are not bright in the le...

Update, they responded and let me know my order will be shipping out. I bought the Studio Prestige RCA. I will be comparing it to the Beldon 8402 and the Duelund 16 GA ICs.  How long is burn in typically with these?  
Audio envy - dang!
Does anyone know if there is something going on at Audio Envy?  I placed on order over 2 weeks ago.  I have sent 3 emails and called a few times to check my order status..  They do not answer the phone and have yet to respond to my emails.
