| Opinions on shortening speaker cable. There are two issues of which I am aware with regardto cable length. One is loss of signal. Although, it is a good principle to try to minimize cable lengths, anextra foot or two of speaker cable shouldn't make a difference with regard to signal l... | |

| When does SACD make sense - my theory I will bet that in 10 years, digital will finally wipevinyl off the map at the high end and that even at lowand mid-fi, 44,100 CD's will have been phased out in favorof a higher resolution digital format. I bet technologysuch as Meitner's will be ... | |
