Home Depot speaker cable, which one to buy
I did get the Morrow SP1 bi wire and listened to them for about a week. They had 100+ hours on them. I really liked them and during the listening time started imagining I may keep them. They have good detail and a neutral quality though a bit thin... 
Kimber 8tc w/ Mark Levinson 23.5 and Revel F52
I have not heard the combination but it seems the 8TC would be the weak link 
What is Musicality?
"The degree to which any system sounds musical depends significantly on the quality of the recording being played."so true...I have often found that to be one of the most frustrating things about hi fi.

How is there Apple Lossless Debate?
a friend and I compared WAV, Apple lossless and the original CD on his (very nice) stereo one day and we really listened for any possible change or difference in sound and could not hear one.Based on that day I think Apple lossless is the best cho...

Home Depot speaker cable, which one to buy
I bought the Woods Yard Master Patio Cord to make the White Lightning but have a question.Is it important that the wire is used in the manner explained? In other words, I would like to use two leads of one cable to run to the positives of one spea... 
any audiophile guitarists out there?
My brother owns a THD UniValve amp which has a clean and neutral quality.here is a blurb from their website: The THD UniValve is a Single-Ended Class A amplifier head with a single output tube that can be switched at will among many octal-based po... 
SS amp - which one ???
Nice to see the Quad 909 mentioned. It would suit your needs nicely. However, I agree with Tvad, you will not find a SS amp that sounds like tubes. 
goertz cables

Home Depot speaker cable, which one to buy
