| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? I have to agree with calvinj (the op of this thread) about the 10% rule. Which is just a means if helping new folks who are confused about how much to spend on cables. And not a rule for seasoned audiophiles, who know what they want. It is odd tho... | |
| Looking for a technical explanation... As a wild guess, a connection which was becoming a semiconductor due to tarnish. Meaning large transients get through better than lower level signal. So every click and pop, which is an explosive transient passed easily. Where the music, being a ... | |

| Do you trust Audiogon? One person's fears are not everyone's. That particular seller may have been able to explain the situation to the satisfaction of the powers that be here at Audiogon. Plus one problem does not make everything that seller did 'bad'. From the OP here... | |

One thing I have found since I went to all Furutech duplex, is that common brass outlet parts/plugs (with no plating) are actually pretty bad! They harm the sound. You never know this until you are rid o... |
