    I'm sure you are enjoying your wine, but usually speaker cables work better when they are hooked up to the speakers :)

    Is that wine in a flower vase? Or am I just super ignorant lol....

    And that looks like really nice expensive zip cord. You know you can buy that at Lowe's for like 10 cents a foot right? :wink:

    A flower vase could technically serve the same purpose LOL, but so could a coat hanger ;)

    Google 'wine decanter'

    I'm sitting here about 3/4 a bottle of cab in thinking that tomorrow might be a better day to work on the new cables :):):)

    Cool. I own both of those and already use the coat hangers. I alternate between black, red or white coated depending on my mood.

    Good eye Ken. Hocktooie21 is a braggart and a showman above others. His lack of wit and decorum reflects in his lack of his sup from the glass at times forward......

    lookin' good -- although I have lobbied for the use of cable pants, just because I think the notion of pants for cables is the coolest thing imaginable ;)

    PS I can think of a solution to the drinking glass imbroglio -- did any of you consider that there could have been a refill event?

    You guys are good. :)

    No refills. That was the sipping Brandy after the wine drinking contest I had with myself earlier. :):)
