Millercarbon's Mega Vibration Control Journey
Well whoever gave me the idea it seemed crazy at first but sure enough with bass playing the speaker cable vibrates hugely obviously even at a fairly moderate to low volume level. Knowing this will come in real handy and make even more sense as we...

Vibrations produce fascinating patterns that vary with frequency. https://youtu.be/WmwnN_T_wW8?t=31 Happens in all materials, forming different patterns with different shaped materials. Happens everywhere from the cantilever to the speaker diaphra...

Glad to hear we agree for once. Except the metaphor for vibration control in a car would be better shocks and springs, which definitely will improve handling making the car faster. Still, nice to hear you admit vibration control does "move the ne... 
My Oppo is a bit too bright
the consensus was the the digital end was too bright and brittle. Compared to analog? Situation normal. 
Spend my money
So how would you spend $500? Not like this. Last thing in the world I would ever do is ask a bunch of random strangers what to do with my money. Only slightly higher on the list is asking a bunch of random audiophiles how to make my system bette... 
Wish I had put more emphasis on cables earlier
Wire.I've been saying for years that wire is equally as important as any other component. My bad. Not years. Decades.

I've been saying for years that wire is equally as important as any other component. Congrats for noticing. 
Newbie, need advice.
Sounds like perfectly normal line level to me. You'll be fine. 
Are cable recommendations worth anything?
There's an old saying, those who can do, those who can't whine about double-blind blah blah blah.

That's a big part of what I'm trying to get across with all these stories: no one thing is perfect, but we can hear the effects and use what works. The same is true for all our components. So as our systems change something that once worked well ... 
Are cable recommendations worth anything?
They talk and argue and insult because they cannot bear the truth: that there are indeed differences, and that learning to hear them will allow you to build a better more satisfying music system. This they find is infinitely frustrating. Because, ...

Around this time another experiment that might seem unrelated was going on: cable elevators. They work. No doubt about it. But, why? One theory was that insulation quality makes a big difference, carpets and flooring aren't quality insulators, an...

I regularly play a couple tracks on CD: The XLO CD demagnetizing tracks.

The early bird reads the good post. Got to be fast to beat the snowflakes and censors around here. oldhvymec triggered someone with his edifying and entertaining post, now removed, leaving us all the poorer. Such are the times these sad dark days....
