OK, Monitor Audio RX6 or Tannoy XT6F

OK - I’ve read many of the entries in "page 2" of this thread and figured I’d throw in my 2 cents worth.AND - I apologise for the long post, but cables are complicated.First let me state: I cannot "prove" the science in the following post, but I r...

Should All Power Cables be Alike?
wylmars - you don’t have to buy Nordost - there are many other brands that will provide benefits. Pangea, Signal Cables and Anticables come to mind. A very good step up from those are PC products from KLE InnovationsBuilding your own is cost effec...

Wilmars - Firstly - I agree with the posts above - all cables make a difference - power cables are no different.- all stock power cables should be replaced - even to the power conditionerDIY solutions I have found to be very cost effective (i.e. m...
