How to audition speakers?

Is it worth it to buy the Cable Cooker?
It saddens me to see the re-birth of the past. Paulwp you are a poor reincarnation of 706...., Steve and others from the past who have been "asked" to leave this web site. "I need proof" try your ears!!! Or are you too stubborn like the others to ... 
Patricia Barber "Verse" released and online
I bought it last Tuesday when it was released. I've listened every day. It was good the first time through, but each time I experience something new. Not good for dancing or catchy tunes, but then again if it was I wouldn't have bought it.

Leaving your amps on,
Sounds like a power grid upgrade is needed. Try some different power cords or conditioners. Does it quite the sound? That is the sound of power noise, this is what you must listen through to get the music. This is why all the threads on power. You...

Review: Purist Dominus Interconnect
Excellant review. You have asked an great question, “Were those cables worth $7000?” I can hear you demand.I don’t know. How much would I have to spend on electronics to get the same level of improvement in my listening room?I've asked the same qu... 
Replacing jumper bars
We discussed this elsewhere. The best idea I heard was to combine the two wire leads (inside the speaker box) from your cross-over into one binding post, no jumpers, no additional cable. If you ever need to go to bi-amping then simply re-wire to t...
