    I still can't believe I was anti cables forever... How did this happen...?

    I'm still in disbelief

    Sucker! You fell for it!

    Is that the hanger with the silver core? My system prefers the hangers with the high purity copper plating.

    I tried the plastic ones. They don't work well. Not sure why...

    The plastic black ones have blacker backgrounds.

    Don't feel bad as I tried but quickly returned a set to. I'll give those things credit though..............they forced me into getting my first arc welder (otherwise known as a Mcintosh mc2500) rebuilt.

    If you can get him down a bit more and send them to AQ to get split up and have four runs, it's not too bad.

    Just DO IT Joey!

    You have two additional systems that need WEL's now...

    Did you just imagine the vicious nut kicking your wife would dish out even mentioning it?

    I was able to sneak in the pm1 system without having to alert the wife. The bank alert presets did not alert...

    With that biwire wel, I would bet the nut punch is just the tip of the iceberg.

    Let me rephrase that:

    It's not that I just throw money around and sneak things into the house without my wife knowing.

    It's that I have a budget for play and my wife says anything I want, as long as I don't go over the budget is fair game.

    Last time I asked her, she said, do you have money in the budget? If so, then you don't have to ask me.

    It's when the budget is depleted... that's when I get nut-punched.

    Maybe you'd like to try a different brand of cables on the other two systems in the house?

    MIT? WireWorld? Doug's Cables? Monster Cable?
    Audio: Polk S15 * Polk S35 * Polk S10 * SVS SB-1000 Pro
    HT: Samsung QN90B * Marantz NR1510 * Panasonic DMP-BDT220 * Roku Ultra LT * APC H10
