Should I finish my basement
Be sure it will be nearly guaranteed to never get wet. Skimp on the construction and the sound quality will suffer accordingly. Most people do not really want a custom, high end listening room; they want a custom, high end listening room on the ch... 
RMAF - Loudspeakers that you don't want to miss
The Nimbus MSRP was not $6,700; when I wrote the review of the Nimbus White for Dagogo, which I now own, it was $9,895. 
My Parasound A21 review and VS Emotiva XPA
Marketing will usually claim in some form that the product, regardless of price, is the best, but bears no relation to actual performance. This becomes evident in comparison.

Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin?
Sabai, a clarification for your and the community's benefit; when I used the phrase, "... so-so wire," I was referring to the Shunyata cables you said were thin sounding. 
Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin?
Sabai, thanks for the clarification regarding trying the Shunyata cables alone. But, as I said I am done discussing this with you. 
Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin?
Zd542, you may be correct about that, but it seems that Sabai has been using cables in series for a long time. If you are right, and he tried the Shunyata cables, but they were not to his liking, then I'm sure you would agree the proper solution i... 
Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin?
Actually, no one has mentioned the most damning problem with Sabai's initial complaint about Shunyata cables. (Unless someone else commented and I didn't see it.)There is no way to know the native sound of the Shunyata cable when used in series wi... 
Legacy Whisper DSW Clarity Edition??
I must have been preoccupied back in June to not see this post. I wrote a bit, that is, a three part article, on the DSW Whisper, which can be seen at Dagogo.com. Feel free to do a search for "Legacy DSW Whisper" or similar. I would put a link to ... 
Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin?
Sabai, like I said, we're not going to agree on this. I'm glad your method works for you; that's what we're after, a satisfying experience. :) 
Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin?
Sorry, Sabai, you are wrong in believing that I have not tried this. When you first posted your "series" idea a while back I tried it; I believe I used three brands of balanced cables in the experiment in different configurations. I found it to ha... 
Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin?
Sabai, I recall you working with the "series" concept a while ago, and I sincerely applaud your creativity and persistence. However, I feel you are disadvantaging yourself with this method. For every change achieved by adding an unnecessary interc... 
BANG for the BUCK
Usually what's owned is considered an exceptional value when it comes to performance. Who wishes to be considered a fool who overpaid to achieve good sound?  
Rockwell: audiophile term "just like a pedophile"
Obvious typo; should be "A lot of headphones..." 
Rockwell: audiophile term "just like a pedophile"
An lot of headphones/amps reviewed for someone who claims not to be an audiophile. Following Mr. Rockwell's line of reasoning, like a pornographer, the word photographer indicates someone with an illicit involvement in images; fixation on cameras,...
