$20 XLR cables that sound good
Jafox,You are correct that I have a lot of respect for paper or the science behind our systems. This may be my problem (from your perspective) - no worries at least we know where we both stand. I just cannot see how a wire should make a significan... 
Room Treatment: Whatcha Got?

$20 XLR cables that sound good
I can tell a HUGE difference between different XLR interconnects on this system. I don't question your observations but this would drive me nuts...how do you know that you have solved the problem? How do you know for sure that $100 or $1000 or $1... 
$20 XLR cables that sound good
Jafox,My view point is that well designed, well matched and well built gear should not be a victim of slight differences in cables. I know you disagree with this approach to equipment selection but from my perspective we simply disagree on what is... 
I Just Don't Hear It - I wish I did
“You wouldn’t believe what putting my speaker cables on risers did…it opened the entire soundstage up, the background is so much blacker, I can hear new details…” - thing! Be careful here - many speakers are badly designed. The cabinets waffle ar...

Yes, IMHO. 
Blondie Parallel Lines DCC Gold Disc
Of course, I might add that Deb Harry definitely has what one would call the undefinable undescribable elusive "It factor"... 
Blondie Parallel Lines DCC Gold Disc
I still remember seeing Heart of Glassfor the first time...amazing what a disco beat and great video production can do to transform a relatively unknown reggae song into an int'l (UK and US) #1 Hit. 
Can you get "bookshelf sound" from a floorstander?
And, I might add, Marty likes Maceo Parker so that pretty much settles it! BTW Have you met LithoJoe? 
I Just Don't Hear It - I wish I did
2Chlnben,I spend hours to A/B stuff. I guess I have tin ears like yourself. I try to use a remote to control what I am listening to without having to move. I also use a meter to carefuly match volume levels for comparisons.My experience is that it...
