Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?

"Most cables are just for aesthetics"? I wonder if that includes Synergistic Research and Nordost and Tara and Gabriel Gold?

Cables do make a difference, a big difference in some situations! This is not even worth discussing!

Bullot, actually, I've never experienced a situation where cables did not make a difference, with the possible exception of years ago when lamp cables were used for speakers and cables that came with the equipment were used with it. I must say that I have heard absolutely awful cables and many that are not worth what they cost. I have also heard cables that I am sharply at odds with what some reviewers rave about. Like everything tastes and systems vary greatly. Thus for this reason, I have always said little is worth discussing.

Why do I post? Once in a while I learn something from others' experiences and guess that others may do similarly from mine.

With cables its all about "Synergy" and reducing most of the "Grunge" from a system.

Tbg........absolutely, agree! Everything on here is worth discussing.....perhaps I phrased it wrong!

Hifisoundguy, synergy is so important, again I absolutely agree. I have auditioned two cables and found cable #1 to trounce cable #2 in my system.........while in someone elses system it has been the other way around! What sounds good to you in your system is the right answer!
