Kora Audio Company
It seems this company is now gone as the website seemed to be bought out by some clothing company by the same name. 
Why has audio become so specilized over the years?
Sunny. Just sign up for Spotify or MOG. It's free and LEGAL. These are ad supported but you can get rid of the ads with a subscription fee.

Why CD players so expensive when the fomat is dead
First of all, well engineered CDs sound great. Second of all, CD is not dead but is declining in both sales and in daily usage. Personally, I buy my own CDs then rip to FLAC. But, I am pretty sure everyone I know download their music from iTunes o... 
Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
Sorry to necro this old thread but am wondering if people are still using/experimenting with the OTAs. Was re-reading some threads and some have noted that the OTA sounds a bit lifeless compared to other higher priced cables. I would perhaps agree...

Kimber Illuminations D-60 vs. Stereovox XV2 cable

Why do intelligent people deny audio differences?

Why do intelligent people deny audio differences?
But, zip cord does *sound* rolled off. How can you say that it doesn't *sound* rolled off? This is almost like the Xeno paradox where a person is convinced he cannot reach his destination it goes againstsome midpoint theorem. And, your other premi...
