Lamp cord actually sounds just as good. I am glad to be of help. 
Brilliant Pebbles, a new tweak, cheaper than high end cables.
What is the sonic difference between brilliant pebbles and matte ones? Is the sound with matte type a bit dull?"Get a humidifier and a powerful AC.."Not a good idea. Air conditioner would dry it out in the end but would need to work harder than us...

"Maybe he forgot everything he knew."Maybe he learned something new along the way. We all change our perception of things at some point. Better that than to stubbornly push one "wrong" view forever. Nothing to do with Michael Green’s speakers and ...
