Why do my rolling stones albums sound bad?
"Get the Japanese SHM-SACDs. Yes, ridiculously expensive, but you've never heard these records like that before!"When did price ever stop anyone here from getting their next fix of good sound???? O-o\_/

Why do digital coax cables matter?
My brain tells me no two cables that are physically different conduct electricity (or light for optical) the exact same way. So there has to be differences to some degree. The question for me is then how much and are the differences significant en...
