@mesch thanks. I'll post before and after pictures on my virtual systems page when my amp gets back from being serviced. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?

Yamaha amps are undersung power horses in amplification.

@bpoletti  dude, I got so many problems that monoblocks would be the least of my therapy. Besides, to find a set of monoblocks in the preamp that would give me what my line magnetic gives me for even a comparable price is ridiculous. I would much ... 
The Tragic Decline of Music Literacy (and Quality)
I guess I understand, although I will never agree with, the prevalent mistrust and dismissal of rap on this forum. Maybe it reflects the aging white demographic that is many of the members here, but to write off a brilliant art form with so many g...

Anyhow, I've already ordered a 20-ft run and a 10-ft run of canare 4SII. This will take the place of my 8-ft length matching pair of acoustic Zen hologram. So we'll see what happens in a few days. Or whenever I get around to actually moving things...

@stereo5 that's what I'm inclined to believe. I mean, we're talking speed of light here, and unless you're running really thin 18 or 20 gauge wire, our ears just aren't good enough to pick up any difference. Especially with signal strength as low ...

@millercarbon  i'm always sus about people who've claim to have figured it out. no matter how ourt of touch they may be with interior decor 
Speaker cable length
@oldhvymech. Interesting. I thought that signal amplitude is much lower across speaker wires than across interconnects. and thus you would get less of an LRC loss. But hey, as you say, maybe I've been wrong all this time. Wouldn't be the first tim... 
Cable choices for Cairn, Naim & Vandersteen
I haven't seen someone with a Cairn in quite some time. I think back in like 2003 I owned the Cairn Fog CD player. I liked it, but then went on to a musical fidelity afterwards

@bkeske. Nah, I wasn't accusing you directly of not being grounded. You add a valuable voice that I'm taking into consideration. It's just that 4' or less speaker cables are not going to happen. My system is:Line Magnetic 518iaSpatial Audio M3 Tur...
