Interconnect advice needed
I personally  like the used transparent  or wire world  idea. Also I don't think there is anything wrong with the dhlabs recommendation  either I would add furutech  to that list. The most expensive  furutech  is decent  nothing wrong with it. It ... 
I want more bass…
I found bass when I got rid of the cheap industrial  receptacle s I has put in and I swapped  them out for the tip of the line furutech  plugs. That was a huge difference.  The industrial  plugs really sucked. They are mid way between hospital  gr...

Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"?
