| Speaker advice for first hi-fi setup - Monitor Audio Gold vs. KEF R series! Those Kef LS 50 W are pretty good speakers and great for apartments. Have you thought of adding a sub to the mix? | |
| Cable droop Just keep in mind, never really supposed to see how the sausage is made. Might ruin your appetite! 😂 Never a truer word spoken. For the record, millercarbon can be insightful. insulting, intuitive, informative, instigative, and humorous, and that... | |

| "Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial Take some time and listen again. Sometimes the difference in information you're receiving through your system takes a while for your ears to become accustomed to.

| Recommendations for HDMI cables specifically for audio quality Hey, Thanks auxinput that's great advice. I will report back in due course.
