10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts
GK--hilarious@b_limo --OP never said there is no difference between cables--in fact he said there is and listed the factors that he thinks are important in differentiating. 
10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts
Don't believe the OP ever said all cables are the same or you can't hear differences between cables.  What i read is that he believes there are certain myths that don't make an audible difference and there are certain design characteristics of cab... 
Looking into speaker upgrade/change?
I auditioned both the Aerial 6t and 7t and bought the 7t's because i found the bass extension better than  the 6t--however, i was listening to them in a room larger than the one in my home--a very good room--i couldn't be happier but would note th... 
These seem a bit pricey $$$
@eganmedia:  "Buyers like expensive equipment. An underpriced pair of speakers may well outperform a more expensive pair and suffer for it in the marketplace."  @rksweet: "People spend hundreds of dollars on a bottle of wine."Perception rules.  B...

Vivaldi, played badly, is the worst classical music on earth
OK, maybe we're a little off topic but@john_g--radically fun version of Four Seasons-played well !@twoleftears -- haven't listened to the 6th in years but i will listen to this version again and again..thanks 
Cassettes still rock!
@mcondo --you inspired me to dig out some cassettes i hadn't heard since the  70s just to see how they sounded.  I don't remember what deck i recorded them on, but i was amazed how good the playback was on the Nakamichi for the first two albums i ...

No offense taken uberI'm glad you made the comments as i was bummed when i read the post saying he had retired--and thrilled that he hasn't, although he told me he's got a 10 month backlog so if your 660zx needs work you better get in line now! 
Cassettes still rock!
I was thrilled to get an email from Willy this morning--i looked for the comment from someone else about him being "gone" but i couldn't find it--not sure if it was on this thread or a different one--anyway, Kevin, thanks for letting me know that ... 
Cassettes still rock!
thanks for the tips on what to look for--back then i was just trying to replace mostly rock/folk albums and most of the CDs were awful (not all).  Interestingly the flood did not touch my classical music LPs--made me wonder if there was a message ... 
Cassettes still rock!
?  I guess i believed an earlier poster who said he had retired.  I just fired off an email to him. 
Cassettes still rock!
Agree about RR--my RR LP transfers are not only still good but far better than any of my recorded cassettes--unfortunately i had more cassettes than RR tapes but the cassettes i recorded that are still acceptable are preferable to me than taking a... 
Vivaldi, played badly, is the worst classical music on earth
I'm glad you made this post Erik--i had forgotten a note i'd made to myself a few years ago about a new Vivaldi performance of the 4 seasons by Adrian Chandler who both conducts and plays the violin--it was intriguing because they used a 3 string ... 
what's your opinion on the magazine 'stereo review'??
I think i remember that article in SR about speaker wire--would be distressing to know they lied.  As to few negative reviews, i remember Hirsch and Holt both responding to that accusation by saying that the vast majority of equipment they review ... 
Cassettes still rock!
Back when, i rarely used the Nakamichi deck to listen to cassettes--just to record for use in the car.  If sound quality degraded over time i just re-recorded the vinyl.  Now though, having lost so many vinyl albums in the flood, i have some casse...
