| Audiogon members poor packing and shipping damage Everyone knows that shippers have the potential to really mess things up. Any package should be packed as carefully as possible. You'd have to more than a few screws loose if you just stick something haphazardly in a box and send it on its merry w... | |
| Best finger food for audiophile listening Personally, I find it too hard to eat and appreciate a great listening experience at the same time.But I do imbibe.A good glass of Pinot Noir does the trick for me. I just slowly savor it with the music.All the best,Nonoise | |

| Speaker cables of cooper, or silver :Pros/Cons Charles1dad +1It's all in how it's made. All silver cables do NOT sound the same. The same goes for copper, which has been around for a long time and we all know just how different they all sound. All the best,Nonoise | |

I had a quick listen and was really impressed but thought that they were one of the expensive ones due to the quality of the cabinetry. Very impressive sound.Mribob, You put ... | |
