| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? I would say more sarcastic then condescending.You mean this: "Some time ago, I replaced the Kimber (speaker) cables that came with a slightly used pair of B&W 803's with a 20 dollar set of Monoprice cables. I had no way to do a "blind" A/B t... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? So, enlighten us on your experience with WireWorld & Kimber Kables. I too have experience with these cables, maybe we share the same results. Please try not to use "snake oil" or "scams" in your review, just what you hear or don't hear. | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? I do not consider your comments "offensive", I do consider them as condescending (like the post above) as I would venture others here do too. May I suggest that your "opinions" might carry a bit more weight if you can back them up with some of YOU... | |

| Infinity Kappa 8 speakers If none of the drivers work, they are basically floating boat anchors. | |
| Infinity Kappa 8 speakers What doesn't work, are they both silent when fed a signal? Do some drivers work and others do not? I would pull the back plates and spray some contact cleaner in the (3) rotary controls and rotate them both ways a dozen times or so, they get dirty... | |

| speaker cable prices When I had Pass gear, these are the speaker cables that worked best for me: Zu Libtec, Clear Day Double Shotgun and Supra Ply 3.4, all are available for under $1,000. | |
| Benz Micro Ace Sh hours If you still have the crappy Chinese 12AX7's in the Jolida, find yourself a pair of Telefunken's. These are the best by far in this preamp and I have tried many different ones in mine. I do, however doubt if your problem is a tube issue as12AX7's ... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Yes, to me it is mumbo jumbo. One can make all the measurements they want, however at the end of the day, what makes high-end audio, high-end audio is the way it sounds to an individual. Blanket statements do not hold water, one has to experiment ... | |
| Price to list ad 2% for worldwide exposure to the correct potential buyers, easy setup, multiple payment methods and full transaction support. I think it is a bargain, especially with higher priced gear. AA & AM are good, however if you want a fast sale AG is ... | |
