| Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference? You all need better cables. Not just better quality in the outside, but with ultra-premium shielding on the inside. The more expensive it is, the richer your music will sound. | |

| Is louder better? Each track or recording will have an optimal level for playback. However, on a single CD by the same artist, you don't need to adjust levels as that was already done.One way to partially get around this is by using "auto level" on the foobar equal... | |
| Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 or Marshall Emberton The Harman Kardon's are more suitably tuned for your listening preferences. | |

| Inexpensive Magnepan simple DIY modification to increase overall depth/sound clarity Interesting...!I'm sure someone will find your post useful.Silver does have better overall conductivity at 106% vs 99.99% for any decent copper cable. So there's that to consider. | |
| VAC PA 8080 Vintage Tube amp For the amp alone I'd say 2 grand at the very least - you did provide some important details.Can't say for the rest of it if you're willing to sell, but keep the price a bit high and lower it if need be when you have potential buyers. Now, I don't... | |

| Cables ... no longer opinion The only difference that speaker cables - (or any cable for that matter) can make is negative. Cables are not supposed to be filters for how your music sounds. I’ve seen studio monitors hooked up with thinner speaker cable - the brand was Furutech... | |
