Do power cords make a difference?
Calloway - sorry, but I was not attempting to equate car parts to hi-hi components, I was trying to illustrate that improvements in higher resolving components are more subtle - i.e. they might go unnoticed to the untrained ear. It doesn't make th... 
Goodbye Sonos, hello ????
Knghifi - the cable should improve the transmission time because of its bandwidth capability, but since Audirvana buffers a complete track (i.e. when playing from a hard drive) it should have no impact on playback.But I will reserve final judgemen...

Naim - to DIN or not to DIN
Chord also has DIN to RCA interconnects as a stock item especially for Naim gearBut I would probably got with Nordost if I couldn't make them up myself. 
Eichman RCA's - what makes them so good?
Sonic genius - at $140 for 4 - there is nothing cheap about this plastic :-) Seriously though - have you tried the eichmans? If yes - how did they compare to wbt and others you may have triedAny feedback is appreciated - thanksI do think Eichmann ...
