How Do You Feel about The Cable Game?
Jon2020,I sold off all my SR gear a long time ago. I am not ventilating. I am just trying to have some audio fun. Did you miss the humor? a blacker shade of black -- harkening back to Los Bravos' Black is Black and Procol Harum's A Whiter Shade of...

Hifimaniac,I'm glad to hear you're enjoying your PHTs. I like to have some audio fun. I have no connection whatsoever to any audio company except as a customer. 
How Do You Feel about The Cable Game?
Jmcgrogan2,I'm not mad at SR at all. I am having some fun with this. Did you miss the humor? -- a blacker shade of black, harkening back to Procol Harum's A Whiter Shade of Pale? I saw Procol Harum live in 1968 -- simply great. I use SR as an exam...

Modding Synergistic Research MPC to Galileo status
Twochanneldave,I got much better results with Bybee accessories than with the SR speaker cells. You might want to look into their products. I am not connected in any way with them, by the way, except as a happy customer. 
Higher resolution Jazz
Elizabeth,Sorry -- but "all of the 50s" was not mono. There was a lot of stereo in the 50s. 
Most overrated audio manufacturers?
Judyazblues,I don't know about Atma-Sphere amps only being suitable for 5% of speakers. The odds were not on my side when I bought my Raidho C1.1 speakers. But my Atma-Sphere S-30 drives my Raidho speakers to perfection -- with the Paul Speltz aut... 
Anyone else making their own cables?
Pkoegz,I make my own cables -- balanced ICs, speaker wires and PCs. I run the ICs in series with Elrod and Shunyata and the PCs in series with Shunyata. 
What's the greatest bargain in DAC's these days?
