| Disturbing "Sonic Trend" showing up on SOTA audio "In short, you need to be as passionate in your listening as a Musician is in their playing.That's a very good way to put it. | |
| Disturbing "Sonic Trend" showing up on SOTA audio I agree with shubert. You can nitpick the details case by case all you want.

| High Fidelity Cables -- A revelatory experience "you don't have to get to the top to find the level that allows you to finally find the musical enjoyment that you previously thought impossible."Given all the very good stuff already out there, I have to wonder if one found it previously impossib... | |
| High Fidelity Cables -- A revelatory experience "Hi Pete, you are right... The top of the line High Fidelity cables are painfully pricy. What I am trying out is the base CT-1 series, which lists approximately 0.16% of those uber-cables."Once hooked.... | |
