Do speaker cables really make a difference ?
In the last couple of weeks I tried set of Micca 14 cables after reading great reviews of them with some comparing them to $1,000 cables in their systems.  I spent about $60 on two 6’ sets because I have a switch in my cables to support my home th... 
Interesting situation! Do we need this....
@anotherbob - I think the OP was simply sharing that when he thought he was listening to one setup it actually turned out to be another one that he wouldn’t have expected to be as good and it “lesser” combination compelled him to enjoy the music. ... 
A Cool Opportunity to Help
Update:  Here’s excerpts from an email that I received tonight:   I know it seems like forever since the wonderful package arrived, but it is installed and playing right now.  To tell you how much superior it is to our $32 special DVD player we ... 
Couple of OCC Speaker Cable Options
@maxima95 - I think my experience aligns with yours.  Smooth sounding with virtually no glare, but I feel like some of the details are not quite the same as with my BJC 10AWG cables. I think I’d agree that there’s less detail in the bass as well.

@leorousseau - The missing parts was that I can't imagine that a Cardas Parsec wouldn't do an excellent job based solely on it's price point.  I guess it depends on how much your willing to spend. I have an Audioquest Cinnamon and was thinking th... 
Couple of OCC Speaker Cable Options
The Micca 14 cables are in my system and have replaced my BJC 10 AWG cables for now.  They are probably in the 30-40 hour range. I’m really torn about how they make me feel, but honestly cannot definitely describe how they sound in comparison.    ...

@rbertalotto - First, I appreciate your candidness in sharing your experience.  Not every audiophile would admit having done this. I’d be most curious to see if you sat down to listen to the Fluance speakers again knowing what you were listening ... 
Can a Bluesound Node's Streamer Be Bypassed and be used as an External Dac?
I think it may have an optical mini input that should allow you to use it as a DAC.   
Buying Equipment Based on Philosophy???
I would hope that everyone would be influenced by design approach of the company in combination with their approach for marketing. Some companies simply don’t present their products in a way that makes a compelling case to consider their products...

@lak - I just ordered two 6’ pairs of the Micca cables. I use a switch in my system so have to get two sets to cover from amp to switch and from switch to speakers. They will be replacing BLC 10AWG. Let’s see what $60ish can do…   Did you do the...

Color to the Moon arrived yesterday and I managed to listen to it once with a subdued volume. It was enjoyable, but has benefited from having the volume turned up today. I don’t have time to listen to all of it unfortunately.    I think I prefer ... 
A Cool Opportunity to Help
My dad got the cables delivered, but it appears that the address on the CD player was one digit off, so it didn’t get delivered on Friday.  It was a real address, so not sure what caused UPS to not just drop and run.  We have corrected it in the s... 
Morrow Audio 1m MA4 Balanced Interconnect
@leorousseau - I'd bet that your money would be better spent somewhere other than a cable between a Node 2i and Ares II.  I also have a Node 2i and I can't imagine that a Cardas Parsec.  I'm using an Audioquest Cinnamon.  
Morrow Audio 1m MA4 Balanced Interconnect
@leorousseau - I have a Pangea AC-14XL on the Denafrips Ares II and a Waudio on my integrated amplifier and power conditioner.  I couldn't tell you anything the power cord on the DAC as it's what I used with my previous DAC and I can't say that I ... 
Are cables additive or subtractive?
@felixa - I think it depends on the definition of additive. If we're talking about additive from the perspective of adding to the original signal resulting in something better, then I don't think that's possible.  I think this was the intent of t...
