Putting an end to the audio cable debate! Part 1
Why don’t we have 50 of us get together to audition speaker cables and take notes about what you heard.  Label them 1,2,3 etc. without names and see if people can hear a difference when hearing expensive speaker wires.  It might be funny if 30 peo... 
Owning the speakers you dreamed of 20 years ago
I certainly agree with Miller Carbon.  He has forgotten more than most of us know.  Why would anyone purchase a old speaker unless it was a demo pair or less than 3 years old.  Huge changes even over the past 5 years.

x5owner1,The problem I have is Tara Labs finishes their terminals with threaded ends.  So, unless these locking banana plugs have male threaded ends to screw into the female threaded end of the wire, they won't work.The primary reason why I am loo...

Tara Labs told me it would only cost $60 per cable to repair my cables with a 2 week turn around.  I was just wondering is this the time to consider upgrading my speaker cable?
