| Maybe being discerning isn't that good for us? I too grew up in a very dysfunctional household and can see how that would make one more discerning for that coming blow. That, and it makes one more empathetic to others, situations, and in our case, audiophildom. Finely tuned senses lead to hobb... | |

| Future of cables! Having degrees up the wazoo holds no more relevance when listening than having a chest full of medals while engaged in combat. Ask the dead.It's back to the old semantic maxim in that the the flag is not the nation, the word is not the thing, the ... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? Was there a writer's strike? | |

| Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this? Markets were 3 times more unstable when we were on the gold standard with more recurring recessions. Having finite monetary resources is just another way of saying there's nothing we can do to help you: you're on your own unless you can buy your l... | |
