Money Well spent

@geleary:     Here's a suggestion, Sarge.

      Try something from these guys, which will allow you to test various cables, for a fraction of the cost of buying and returning.

      Don't know your price range or system, but: if you call them and let them know, they can make some good recommendations.

      I'm posting the Synergistic interconnects page, because they make some great cables.  At least: I've never been disappointed by them.

       Kimber's another cable company, with which I've been very happy and that also has a variety of good stuff at various price levels:

        If you should buy something from them; they deduct the rental fee from the total price.

                  Happy listening and enjoy this, much more pleasant, "tour"!

@millercarbon: Here’s a digital punch in the arm (re: Synergistic).

                         YOU OWE ME A COKE!

     Well: I figure within two minutes, in here, is pretty close, anyway.

     Especially, the way I type (ie: Columbus Method/discover and land) then post, proof-read, hit edit, correct, post, proof-read, hit edit, correct, post... ad nauseum)!

      btw: Thanks again for the ENTER tip.     Can you tell; I'm having fun with it?

geleary123,
Please accept my apologies for being critical of your punctuation and spelling. Some call me a grammar cop, and I guess that's true sometimes. 
Thanks for your brave service, and be well. Good luck in your cable search!
