Audio Art cable Power 1 Classic or Pangea AC-9
I've recently gone through power cords that are more expensive than the Pangea AC-9 I'm using on my Yamaha integrated, and so far it's working out better than the others. (it is thick and can be difficult to use depending on the angles etc)  I hav... 
Brass screws make a real difference on Dunlavy s ?
Many of you report a difference after tightening the screws on the drivers ("it helps", "it was beneficial", "worthwhile") and I remember reading of this before. No one in the thread describes what changes occurred to the sound of the speakers aft...
