Whats better Nautilus 802 or 801
Hands down, the 802series3 are the best Matrix speakers I've heard. 802's emits a hell of a lot more detail, produced superior imaging, and more articulate LF. Only draw back with 802's are the sweet spot is smaller compared to every other matrix ...

Why not PS Audio's Lab cables?
Bob, YUP that's what I am seeking!Being a cheap skate, suppose I only have one aftermarket power cable, should I put it on the dac or the trans? Or is it a personal thing?
