| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? In the old days Quad esl 57s could happily destroy less than stable amplifiers. | |
| Streaming Gladly done. Let us know how it all ends. I think it is a great system that costs next to nothing and has no sonic drawbacks even if combined with high end components. I admit, however, that if there is a glitch I sometimes need to consult my nine... | |
| Streaming If you use the Chromecast Audio, you can install apps on your phone/tablet for any service you like, be it Tidal, Spotify, TuneIn, BBC radio 3 or whatever takes your fancy. Since the Chromecast is sold in such huge numbers, there is hardly any ser... | |

| Upgrading speaker cables... I agree with Shadorne that fancy cables will not make a difference other than to your bank account, nor wil bi wiring. If they do, there is something wrong with either the cables, the speakers or the amplifier. Fancy cables are just great money ma... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Sure, and very good authority it is. | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable The quotation marks are his, to define the position he wants to argue against.
