Solid core Versus Stranded Speaker cables
Wow I'm impressed by all the discussion on this subject and with the objective responses. I must say I'm pleased with the education I'm getting. It looks like there is an equal representation of enthusiasts in both camps. Very recently I aquired a... 
Taming the high frequency
Ghost, thanks for your input. Thinking about it even with the Krell there was some harshness at certain high frequencies regardless of the source. It is possible that the Lexicon is more adept at identifying the problem. I’ve never used any room c... 
Has anyone NOT listened to their system for a long time?
Prior to retirement listening was restricted to weekends. Now it' unrestricted and my system plays 12 hours a day most days when I'm home. Critical, make me smile, listening occurs about 3 hours daily in the evening with a glass of spirit of choic... 
Taming the high frequency
Noromance, I'm not sure a tube amp can provide the umph I require unless I win the lottery, so that's a real stretch. Yep, dug out my collection of speaker cables, audioquest, straightwire, transparent, blue eans and JW solid core. Tried them all ... 
Financial bind and need a nice XLR
Emotiva has a closeout sale going on at 50% discount. They are quite good cables. Go check them out. $8.50 for 1 meter cable. Been using their cable between a krell prepro and emotiva amp with great success

Well now, we certainly got off track. Bickering, insults etc. Is that what this forum is all about? Can'T we just share our own experiences and call it a day?

I can't breathe anymore, Y'all stop. My belly hurts. I love geoffkait and his superb command of the soon to be superfluous dictionary and thesaurus. His products are well thought out and back to the future when "since I don't use my brain, do I re... 
Room Response
LMAO,  too sweet

In case someone missed it, my experiment was conducted with full looms by both manufacturers. No mismatched cables.  
Opening a can of worms
Superb reply s to this point. Both sides of the debate are convincing. With the multitude of cables to choose from my small experiment was certainly limited in scope and it's goal was to ascertain that there was/is a audible difference in cable an...

Don't we love these repeats. It's like vintage TV.The title is catchy though. Got you to check it out. I should be selling cable looms.

Jperry, noooooo I discarded the lid. I guess I could stuff the can full of cables LOL  
Opening a can of worms
I knew I could count on you geoffkait. You tell me if it's revealing enough. Its certainly more than enough for me. And yes cables are run correctly.  LOL. Cable discussions are so much fun.  
anyone ever moddify a PROCEED AVP?
Dlcockrum, I suppose I should rephrase that to second to none in its price range back in the 90s. Your point is right on. 
Question for cable/wire naysayers.....
Having been a avid naysayers myself for the better of 40 years (started the audiophile game at age 20) I just recently got converted. Now that does not imply that I think the higher the cost the better the cable. I was fortunate enough to have a f...
