| Moving on a sailboat - bookshelf speakers? You are going to need speakers designed for a bookshelf and being close to ‘walls’ (bass tuning) I built my own for this purpose based on designs from troels gravesen. (They are great for the purpose) other options would be a studio monitor af... | |

| Need help buying new speaker cable A good spool of 12 gauge copper stranded wire beats them all. And cheap too! | |
| What process do you use to purchase cables? So many people hear a difference because of unconscious or perhaps even conscious bias. Your article actually makes my point, so thank you for posting it! | |
| What process do you use to purchase cables? The whole cable argument is snake oil. Please.buy a good set of 10 or 12 gauge speaker cables and call it a day. Dare any of you in a blind test. | |

| Roon for high end audio? the comments on here are mostly very misguided. 1) Roon has zero impact on sound quality. That is up to the resolution of your source files or service and the quality of your dac.end of discussion.also, anyone out there saying The cost of their Et... |
