| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Ddraudt,The ultimate is double the amount of money of the enhanced version.It seems you aren't experiencing the law of diminishing returns, that's rare but says a lot. Regards, | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Ddraudt,I auditioned the enhanced digital cable and was pleasantly startled by its performance. So I can only believe you that the ultimate CT-1 is extraordinarily. Regards, | |
| Jazz for aficionados This is one of the more interesting and informative threads on audiogon in a while.Orpheus, your friend very well have been an exception. The jazz musicians I've known put considerable hours into practice, serious practice. Regards, | |
