Don't read you'll be sorry
If you read audio quests description, they don't clearly say the k2 wire is solid silver. They talk about a smooth surface when they discuss silver, so maybe it is only supposed to be silver coated. 
Don't read you'll be sorry
well, thats my point. If it is silver coated, it isnt regular Rockefeller cable. PBN says the cable sheath says Rockefeller 3. I cant find any info on the "3" version to know if it is different that regular Rockefeller. but even if it isnt, it is ... 
Help me buy some new cables....
Hey, I didnt think it was possible to charge 10k speaker cables. the $400 seems more reasonable to me, regardless of what is inside them. So is it really possible? who the f knows 
Don't read you'll be sorry
also, in checking the Rockefeller specs, there is no silver. coating or otherwise. So, what is this wire actually? 
Don't read you'll be sorry
So somebody is getting Rockefeller 3 wire, wrapping it in K2 sheath and K2 bezel and connectors and selling them for 1/3 of US retail? And then shipping them from China to US. Does this make financial sense to anyone? 
Help me buy some new cables....
so these grey market cables are being taken out of the back of the factory in china, or a container headed for the U.S.? I did notice that the package did not have a UPC code. But would a counterfeiter go through the trouble of duplicating the ins... 
Help me buy some new cables....
How do you know they are counterfeit. Is it just because of the price? I have seen a pair of Audioquest K2 cables that were bought from China. Box and packaging looks like what is in retail stores and cable looks identical. How would one tell? 
Ultimate Cables no more?

Why does your turntable sound the way it does.
CTO517, I would expect the 15ips tape to sound much better, but I dont have the ability or tape to compare. As for looking under the hood, I have about 10 turntable projects going right now, from idlers to direct to belt to magnetic platt 
$3500 integrated amp for Zu Definition speakers?
I am extremely happy with my Musical Fidelity Nuvista M3. If you can find one, or the Trivista, I would recommend it. There is one for sale here now. I would certainly consider newer MF gear if I was in the market. 
Faceplates Silver or Black???????
Used to go black, now everthing silver. Must easier to see the lettering as my eyes get older. I went so far as to sell my Black SimAudio LP5.3 and purchase the same thing in silver because I got its external power supply in silver. Now I use a Mu... 
Lyra vs. Lyra
I havent heard the upper levels of Lyra's line in my system, but the Delos is clearly the best I have heard on my system and have no great desire to spend thousands more on something else. 
Makeshift tonearm for under $800
Audiomods IV. Nothing comes close for the price. 
Why does your turntable sound the way it does.
Music is a quite different thing than most sciences, since there is such a strong emotional component, which is different in each person, so pure accuracy isnt necessarily musical. think of a computer playing notes. Might be the right notes, but n...
