    And yet he can’t handle the simple courteous decorum everyone else uses across the Internet of posting BELOW THE POST HE QUOTED!!!!!

    Are you referring to me?

    I was but I appear to have the wrong person I believe, so my apologies.

    I’m editing my post to remove it.

    That's cool. I find it almost as annoying as most people here, so I was confused for a bit. :p

    I seen Viking64 correct lots of grammar here on CP.

    I try to spell check my posts just to TRY and make things proper. There, they're and their was my first lesson I believe. I never forgot it, but I might, at my age slip now and again! :D

    But my sentence structures sure are terrible by what the grammer correct points out in the numbers. I'd have to pay to see or correct my sentence and paragraph structures, so there will be issues for the remainder I guess. :#

    But grammar/spell checkers are only trying to help us improve. That's all. :D

    You know, Tony. You are so correct. Most people can laugh at themselves when they make a simple mistake. Others go on the defensive and get all uptight. It's usually those people that like to find fault with others most of the time. :p

    Usually I can spell pretty well, and if I don’t know a word, I tend to Google it beforehand I post or comment or turn in a assignment etc. what really gets me is my spellchecker. I type really stinkin’ fast on my tablet, and Siri just doesn’t know what to do sometimes, so she decides to add to and remove from words, or on occasion try to say something not nice. It’s really annoying.
    Edit: Siri is at it again! Replaced before with beforehand. :confused: I don’t understand her sometimes.

    I think my dad told me to admit and acknowledge my mistakes. There's nothing wrong with making mistakes he said...as long as I learn from them and try not to repeat them.

    Measure twice, cut once kind of thing.

    I noticed 3 mistakes in my post above after I posted it. I even misspelled "There"...LOL.

    I'm thinking I need a new keyboard. I swear I hit keys, but the letters or words don't get printed on the screen sometimes... :s:D

    My grammar check says I have (3) and (1) things wrong in this post. LOL.

    I suggest 2 things Tony: turn off the "soft clipping" feature and see if you can place a 2400PE (or higher) in the 2155's stead.

    Not that the 2155 is any slouch, but the extra current and headroom afforded by the PE series can make you step back and say "wow".

    In either case, no "soft clipping".

    Your fancy high end cables make me jealous.
    I’m stuck with these:

    The one all the way to the right is for my TT, so I don’t get a choice on not using a dirty cable. I have several I would rather use, but I can’t.

    Buy some new ones

    With what money? There is the problem. For me it is better to put my money towards a new pair of speakers, or new electronics, or upgrading what I already have, because TBH, my system is (relatively speaking) low end.

    Agreed, those don't even classify as cables.....I used to tie up my tomato plants with those. You don't have to spend a lot of money for decent cables. Maybe once you realize cables are a part of your system just like a CDP/PRE/AMP, or any other piece of gear, you'll understand the bigger picture.

    Well, yeah -- oxidation would be a big issue for 'mater management with lower quality cables. ;)

    NICE! Now if we can just get someone to fix the suspension on that Chevy truck, we would have a perfect time capsule. :p

    Haha, I think it's on adjustable air suspension where you can raise/lower it at will.

    I know that I don’t, and I know that they do make a difference, but at my price point, I will get more value if I put the money I could put towards cables towards amps, TTs, CDPs, etc. I do plan to get better cables, but if I do it will probably be bottom tier AudioQuest, with Blue Jeans speaker cables (unless AudioQuest sells just bare wire, because I need about 10 feet for my left speaker).

    FWIW, I noticed an audible improvement in sound when I went from standard speaker wire to Blue Jeans "BJC Twelve" speaker cable on my computer audio setup.
