| How essential is shielding? Bryon, as you know, the Speltz is a tightly wound small gauge wire with a no-see-um negative wire running through. Being as the two carriers are at an almost right angle to each other, I think they would be more influenced by external electromagne... | |

| When is digital going to get the soul of music? I will second Frank's last post. | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? My listening room was built more than a 100 years ago. Showing good foresight, they built my listening room with perfection in mind. The room is big and high, and with a symmetrical speaker wall. So, without giving further ado, the correct answer ... | |

| When is digital going to get the soul of music?

Take a close look at this here. The "outsourced ... |
