Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?

You are calling Dow Jones an audiophile? LOL! It’s like calling a drunken homeless from the street a wine connoisseur.

Dow Jones just posted a brand new thread with a link “proving” why a $2 (yes, two American dollars, like two dollar bills, or eight quarters) DAC is more than adequate

thyname, Nope, just the opposite 

I take it you wouldn't be interested in Archimago's musings on speaker cables? 

@boxer12: what is the opposite of Audiophile? I am guessing Audiohater? I would agree in this case
