| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? "One key point that keeps hitting me squarely between the eyes about this thread though is that I see myriad references to real science, scientific method, etc...on this thread but when I read through everything carefully and objectively, I don’t ... | |

| whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money All things being equal, white cords or cables always sound better than black or any other color. Don't believe me? Just use white electrical tape and apply to whatever cord or cable you're currently using. | |
