10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts
Reading these forums once tempted me to try this or that. Slowly over time I realized the person that owned gear several levels above mine, cost wise anyway, is likely ‘still on the case’. I came to the conclusion that stopping where I am is as go...

Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers
