| Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference? I worked as an art director / creative director in pharmaceutical advertising for 25 years. I learned how to read the clinical trials, efficacy and safety data, about the strength of placebo effects, etc. Until I see randomized blind studies invol... | |

| Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference? Now that weed is legal in NY State, it ain’t as much fun, as the late great John Hartford once said. BUT, dollars on weed is way better spent - and much much cheaper - than $s on cable and speaker interconnects. And as an added bonus: it makes sex... | |
