    Don't you just hate it when you cannot detect where the post ends and a signature line begins?

    Posting cables to Canada may make it not worthwhile.

    My partner Sue and I have been listening to variations in the sound of interconnects for around five years now and have settled on Atlas Hyper cables for all interconnects. The way they open up the stereo depth and width is quite amazing when compared to lesser cables and we now use these as our reference.

    welcome to the enlightened , different cable manufactures will give different results going up the chain price wise

    If you know a good dealer its easy to do taste tests.

    On the affordable front , check WireWorld , Ecosse and Townshend.

    I recently had the pleasure of hearing a $21,000 RCA in my humble system , and yes that is f**king expensive. But when you talk of jawdropping , jaw , knees and balls will hit the floor. worth $21,000 ? hell no , worth hearing ? hell yes.

    Start fooling with various power cables and scrape your jaw up time and time again.

    As lots of folk insist, unless you need your ears syringing, the differences can be amazing.

    Love how your good lady is involved in the process - just how it should be!

    Incidentally, I also rate Atlas cables. If I were spending reasonably serious money on cables, Atlas would be one of the companies I'd look at. Enjoy your choons
