Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find?
@thecarpathian You said every word that I was thinking. Just because most of us can’t afford to spend 6-10kvon cables does not mean that we don’t consider them to be a component. If we didn’t, why would we try so many different types and discuss... 
Why so many ARC Ref 6SE preamps up for sale?
Where have you been for the last 12 months?

@pennfootball71  I guess all of us poor plebians will just have to make do with our junk wire while we aspire to the heights that you have reached.

These were not bright, just weak sounding with no projection and lacking bass. I don't think that it's correct to call silver coated cables silver based. All silver and silver coated are two different things.

I bought these, supposedly their best copper cables some months ago and was very disappointed in the sound. They sounded small and seriously lacked bass. They do look pretty. I should have bought Xangsane because their interconnects are amazingly ...

Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K
@deep_333  "There is no such thing as truly excellent crap that worked brilliantly for any kind of music." That is a strange opinion. I have had quite a few speakers, large and small that were very satisfying with every type of music. I don't kn...

@stereo5  I looked back at your recommendations and must disagree with your inclusion of Volti as not being appropriate. That could not be further from the truth.  
**Advice Needed**Damage To Imported Speakers**
@freediver I’m don’t know why you’re sure that it wasn’t shipping damage, because it could be, but the most obvious question is why didn’t you call the dealer that you bought it from? It is their job to help you and resolve this. It seems strang... 
list of speakers
Nice list, but as many speaker brands as there are on the list, there are hundreds more not listed. There are just so many brands that it is overwhelming.  
Music Doesn't Get Better Than This.
Pleasant.

@stereo5  What would you recommend?  
He spent his life building a $1 million stereo. The real cost was unfathomable.
@posbwp55  Congratulations on that whitewash, but I think that it was made clear that his passion was far from solitary, and if you think that it's ok to make your children literal slaves to your hobby, then I'm not sure what behavior you would c...
