Fake RRP on cables. A Joke
Excellent subject and post. The constant 50% off list price sales I see from some cable suppliers really devalues the product IMO. Everyone likes discounts but this reminds me of when the car companies were offering $5000 rebates. If the product i... 
A speaker so loud it can kill you
Go to a car audio show and experience bone crushing volumes... 
Sony - What were you thinking?
Contact the CEO, Kazuo Hirai, and raise Hell! LOL 
Why not these cables for my TT
Monoprice has nice cheap cables but for a tonearm app a better cable is a must. 
Suggestions For A Good USB Digital Cable
Used to like the WW Starlight Platinum but I sold it for the lower cost Cabledyne Silver which sounds better IMO. 
Best Bulk Cable
"For IEC ends I don't use the Furutechs because the wipers are plated brass and I attempt to minimize brass from the electrical path as much as possible???"I use FI-25 plugs. They claim to be gold plated phosphor-bronze (85% copper).Even so, you w... 
Quality PC: plug into wall socket or conditioner??
Would not be without my Power Plant. AC line is full of garbage which causes my music to sound grainy and unfocused. A good PC is must whether you plug directly into the wall or a conditioner. 
Porter Ports or Cabledyne Cryo Hubbell 5362
ARCAMGUY: You are welcome. I have added many more HBL5362s and now prefer them to the Furutechs after hundreds of hours of listening. Build quality is first rate. 
Have you ever skinned a speaker cable?
As I said before, easier to skin a cat. LOL :) 
Fake Audioquest sky cables
See the post on the Asylum about AQ cables. The connectors are soldered and are not cold welded.http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/cables/messages/16/161895.html 
Thoughts on Cabledyne SC & IC
I own the silver IC, silver speaker cables, and silver power cords. They are a very impressive build for the money. Sonically they are neutral (no edge or brightness) and seem to capture fine musical detail. In summary, the cables get out of the w... 
Smooth and dark cables?
My original Cardas Crosses are fairly dark and rolled off. 
Porter Ports or Cabledyne Cryo Hubbell 5362
Jeff, you should always have a quality wall outlet as it makes a big difference in sound. Why would you want to plug your expensive gear into a poorly made 39 cent contractor grade outlet? This is like finger nails on a chalkboard! LOL :) 
Speaker cables for YG Carmels
A friend of mine owns YG Carmel speakers. He posted a comment here: http://www.cabledyne.com/reviews-page-5.html. YMMV. 
Has anybody tried using single solid core cables?
Solid core singular conductors is why I prefer Cabledyne cables. They are also available in copper or silver wire. I have always found multiple or stranded conductor cables to sound phasey in the mid-high range.
