Cable Survey
@mmrkaic - I've measured them. My cables are 5' 7.5".Does that sound about right? 
what speaker cables would you recommend for KEF speakers matched with Sansui amp & preamp?
Here it is in 12awg. They also have 14&16 awghttp://www.partsconnexion.com/Duelund-DCA12GA-20awg-Tin-Plated-Stranded-CU-Wire_moreinfo.html

I’m surprised no one has mentioned it, but there is a duelund reproduction of old Western electric speaker cables and loads of people have been giving them rave reviews, even on new systems. Seems like a no brainier that they’d match up well with ... 
Ugly vs Gogeous speakers
@imhififan yeah, that second pair is hideous. The first you shared I kinda like..I got a used pair of top of the line rbh speakers with nice wood veneer and rounded corners because my wife hated the giant black jbl L7s that I had. We were remodeli... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
It's funny to me though, that you'd be upset that there's a new fuse. If the blacks are that great, then they still are. It's ok to not have the newest and 'best' of everything. Take a deep breath..@geoffkait not sure if this is what you caught, b... 
Most Important, Unloved Cable...
Increased sound stage, etc, are subjective claims. There are no measurements for these parameters, other than the impressions from one's ears, nervous system and consciousness.  
Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses?
Put the PADIS fuses in my class D monos. They definitely sound better already. Better clarity and imaging, smoother mids, cleaner bass. Very happy with these guys.I'm sure it's just because I cleaned the contacts when I changed fuses. That and a b... 
Cable Survey
Indeed, the helix cables sound amazing. Plus, they look interesting and are fun to make. I also like the fact that you can customize them to your system. Want 10 gauge silver plated copper? No problem. 14 gauge rectangular copper OCC conductor? Do... 
I am really disappointed with the hip-hop enthusiasts on Audiogon
I love hip hop and can’t believe there are others on here. Damn. Gotta say though, Blowfly was definitely not a big influence in hip hop. He may have had a small influence somewhere, but I've read loads about hip hop, interviews with tons of artis... 
Recordings that only sound good on resolving systems
I definitely hear the difference between Steely Dan and live recordings.. and get what you're saying shadorne. Sometimes I love ambience and the raw energy of a live take. But I can appreciate the perfection of a band like Steely Dan or Fleetwood ... 
Furukawa power cables
I've had similar experiences to Ozzy's. Lots of good stuff from Hong Kong.. China is more hit and miss. 
Elrod speakers cables?
Ribbon conductors.  Interesting. I may have to DIY a pair one day. 
Recordings that only sound good on resolving systems
Ooh, yeah. Totally forgot about live recordings. I think the ambience just sounds like noise on less resolving systems.Musiclover - what a name for an album! 
After a (weeks) worth of listening...
Gas - NarkopopThe space, texture and detail in this album is incredible.. 
Silly prices for Nordost cables
I have used ferrite beads. They close the sound up. Now I put small magnets on my connectors.. it opens the sound.There's a difference between a ferrite that affects induced magnetic fields and the affects of a permanent magnetic field on the sign...
