Do speaker cables really make a difference ?
Your opinion is the only one that matters. For me and my system- it did make a significant difference.   
New to vinyl question
For me and my system vibration impacted my turntable when volumes were higher than low volume. Isolation made a huge impact- I have a low mass turntable (Rega).   
Help me make sense of this - Midfi system sounding better hifi.
@gonglee3 I sometimes wonder how much my listening preferences change - this combined with the sonic signature difference in your speakers reignites my curiosity of difference in sound versus quality of sound.     
I have NOVA V's and I am not happy
@mckinneymike Good luck in your search. There are a lot of options and I was in a similar situation about 10 years ago. I was very unimpressed with many speakers that had strong reputations - B&W, Mission, Martin Logan and others were close bu... 
I have NOVA V's and I am not happy
@mckinneymike I tend to listen to music in the high 70s and low 80s db.    I think there’s significantly better equipment at lower relative prices in comparison to the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. And there’s more options with equipment with different ch...

I have tested Kimber Kable 12 TCs and I experienced harshness in the higher frequencies and muted base. Because my experience with Kimber was positive I tried their BiFocal XLs and there was a significant improvement in the sound quality

Mono block Sonic difference $5k vs $25k
I have Moon 400M monoblocks which are approximately $5k each. I think they sound great. I’ve heard monoblocks that are $25k and higher (Martin Logan and PBN audio). Different systems and the difference I’ve noted is the dynamic impact and detail...

Whats playing on your system today?
Tom Petty & the heartbreakers   
Integrated amp for Proac D2
I’d add Moon and Rogue to you audition list.   
What selections do you play when showing off your system to others?
My system is for my enjoyment - if someone's interested in music I will invite them to be the dj and listen with me.    
To all our Veterans here, Thank You!
Thank you and I believe the experience was well worth it.  ('90-'97) Thank you to my fellow veterans past, present and future.  
The character of analog and digital
I enjoy listening to music because it evokes emotions. In my experience using my system the sound between analog and digital is very close and I can listen to either for hours.    There are certain recordings I’ve compared analog to digital and w...
