Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. 

Why don't you all just completely eliminate cables by buying an all in one with powered speakers using Wi-Fi or BT?

     Feynman was and will remain, my favorite lecturer (yeah: I'm that old).

     He mentioned often (and: I took to heart) his favorite Rule of Life: "Never stop learning!"

     For all his genius, he never grew overly confident in his beliefs.    The perfect obverse to the Dunning-Kruger sufferer.

     ie:  “I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing.  I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that might be wrong.”

     and: “I have approximate answers, and possible beliefs, and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I’m not absolutely sure of anything.”

     Tesla is probably my favorite innovator, who (despite the incessant, projectile vomit, from his day's naysayers), took the World, kicking and screaming, into the 20th century, with his inventions.

                                                  His thoughts: 

     “Anti-social behavior is a trait of intelligence in a world full of conformists.”

     “All that was great in the past was ridiculed, condemned, combatted, suppressed, only to emerge all the more powerfully, all the more triumphantly from the struggle.”

”Where have you been for the past 3+ years?”

Fighting three free speech cases against the government in court, perhaps?

Now, I didn’t waste my time going through all of your links. Anything that starts out by citing the WSJ (which I have nevertheless subscribed to for 45 years) opinion page on speech is not very credible.

Trust me on this one: I know far more about the 1st Amendment, Public Forum Doctrine etc than you likely ever will.

I got Nino Scalia to agree with me. Twice. Once on the Supremes, the other time at the DC circuit with Bork and Start (I hit the trifecta).

Let’s see how long it takes for Tammy to pull this down.

Wi Fi has a limited bandwidth. For instance with WiFi 6 I get about 365Mbs. With a gigabit wired connection you normally get close to 1Gbs on most networks today. I have heard you can get high definition audio with 100kbs, but I reserve my opinion it does not sound good enough. If you can get 300kbs from a streamer WiFi, it sounds pretty good. I bet on a higher end system than mine, the detailing higher end systems can achieve, that those folks could tell difference in not only bandwidth, but preamp, DAC quality, and power amp quality. The internal components and design make a difference. I think some people in this forum have experience with both wireless vs wired. My question would be if you have a Bluetooth, or wireless setup.....How good is the DAC? How good is the reciever that captures the bits and bytes flying through the air? Of course this is compared to a high end system that is wired. I think the electronics powering the speakers is a Huge concern. It boils down to your ears. I know I can listen to my wired speakers for 4hrs of critcal listening and want more if time permitted.
