Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
jetter: it’s not a valid test given the way the human brain takes audio impulses in through both ears simultaneously and processes them together as a sound field...if you do the test in this way, the results would be different than the result of u...

ROTFLMFAO!!!What a relief viz. the amplifier topic,....I can ditch all this expensive audio gear and cables and grab a boom-box or a Bose Wave Radio and have the same quality sound!!! Thank you to the cables don’t matter folks for pointing all thi... 
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
...because sometimes it makes a difference....Exactly. If someone cannot hear a difference then they should not use anything more than stock wire in their setup and be happy with it.  For those situations where differences can be heard, those peop...

Note: All written below with the intent of humor, particularly at the end!"Rolex & Timex, both tell time correctly..."; personally I do NOT like Rolex or other 'big balls on my wrist/matcho watches" type of watches but that's neither here nor ... 
TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they?
All thanks for your feedback across the entire thread, no need for apologies as we all get passionate about what we like and sometimes go overboard (guilty as charged here LOL). Magico does make some fine speakers, some much better than others (IM... 
TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they?
Great,...now that we have the Magico topic out of our system, can we return to discussion of the TAD R1 MkIIs? 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
The number of times this same theme of anti-audiophile cables/prices has appeared over the last 1-2 years alone is staggering.  There is some expensive cable that is way overpriced and a rip-off but there are legitimate entries in the high-end cab...

Melbguy: Happy New Year to you as well!  As far as my system sounding musical to me, you can also add a long list of various audio fans who have had long and multiple listening sessions at the house so it's not simply just my ears thinking the sys...

TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they?
Thanks for your response; that is interesting regarding the other speaker. I had not heard that from the guys I know who own them and are liking them very much. Happy New Year! 
TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they?
melbguy1: Thanks for the response; I am very glad you are happy with your speakers and gear combination. I know a couple guys here who had the 3s and have upgraded to the S5s in the last few months and they are very happy as well. I hear they are ... 
TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they?
Thanks....back in my subwoofer days with 7.1 HT + 2-ch hybrid, REL was the king for 2-ch integration. Others came and went and tried to measure up but they fell short for 2-ch. Glad to hear it's still that way!  My last REL was a B1 Britannia whic... 
TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they?
Thank you for the feedback; the RELs are great subs. I know others in the US who have the CR1s and drive pair them with JL subs (112, 113, 115, Gotham); I've not heard this as I'm an old REL fan/owner but they seem to love the combination particul...
