| Principles of audiophile cable construction? It might have been the article that Mofimadness referred to but if not, there is one that came out recently that concluded that conductors should be thick or you'll never get what the high end can offer. I found the exact opposite to be true, for ... | |
| Do you indulge when listening to your rig? Pinot Noir, a good Cab or Pilsner or Ale, but not all the time. Fridays and weelends for sure, sometimes Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,...I'd like to mention how nice and grown up folk have become to allow pot into the conversation without the usual ... |
