Can I use just half the biwire?
Rodman, understand your comment and knew it.  I was just trying to say it in layman's terms to give scott a better idea to build from.  Keep the biwires together.  You paid for all that wire.  Use it! 
Can I use just half the biwire?
I’m just thinking off the top of my head and I use Purist shotgun biwire Museus cables but if you only connect it as a single run cable are you using only half of the wires capability? I’m thinking if you have a 12 gauge wire x 2 and you only conn... 
Any Audiophiles Here Have Experience with Hearing Aids?
Motoman, I'm in the same boat you are, getting older is a learning experience.  Besides the answers you will get on your questions here on your thread also do a search of this forum for "hearing aids".  This has been a popular question of which th...

Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker?
It’s been a while since I posted but this discussion is good. In 2004 I bought on an Audiogon auction the Soliloquy 6.3 2.5 way speakers designed by Phil Jones. An excellent review can be found here including crossover specs: https://www.thefreeli... 
Need FLEXIBLE Power Cord .
One that isn't mentioned very much is Black Sands Cables out of Canada.  Wonderful cables and they were wonderful to deal with.  A friend and I did a shoot-out with his 5 to 6 thousand dollar power cables plus DIY and they fell short by what we he... 
Audio Metallurgy GA-0 interconnects
I have mainly Purist cables in my system but the cable from my source to pre is the GA-o.  I think it adds quite a bit to the soundstage and is just a good all around cable.  You do need to be careful with it though.  No kinks or hard bends. 
Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound?
Brad, I would be curious on the link also.  It doesn't appear in your post but I have been looking for DIY panel material.Bossman 
Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need.
I'll go one better by pure luck.  It was the early 2000's and I have a friend that is an audiofool and I have enjoyed his system over the years and also got me interested in Audiogon.  A pair of speakers I had been reading about but never heard, t... 
Soliloquy 6.3 amp?
I've had the Soliloquy 6.3's in my system since 2003 and no matter what I have thrown at the speakers component or cable wise the speakers let you hear it. They sounded very good with a 7 Watt SET amp all the way up to the Butler TDB2250 that I am... 
Anyone here have a memory ?

Differences between cable sound.
Elizabeth, love the answer. The cable question again. I've been around here a long time and I tried explaining to him what I thought and maybe I didn't know the right words for a newbie. Explaining PRAT, sibilance, brightness, zing on the top end,... 
Mapeshade cable lifts or any cable lifts?
The 1969 yellow with the black stripes and blackout hood, that's the car I want when I win the lottery. :-) I remember when Mark Donahue brought out the AMC Javelins. That was some racing. And your right, I'm not married so the beer bottles are fi... 
Mapeshade cable lifts or any cable lifts?
I use 22 oz bomber beer bottles filled with sand and then wooden skewers to make a V for the cables. Works great and I can change the motif by using micro-brew or German beer bottles to change. Stone Brewing and Capital Brewing are great silk scre...
