Mr. Nut, you KNOW there are blind tests showing cable differences..(nt) - mkuller 18:22:05 03/4/08 (7)

Only with 30 feet of ultra thin 24 AWG "speaker cables" = and onluy some people could hear difference vs 12AWG - Richard BassNut Greene 08:19:39 03/5/08 (5)

Here is one positive blind cable test out of the many... - mkuller 10:01:33 03/5/08 (4)

No A-B volume matching so the "thick as your thumb" cables were louder than 14awg wire = pitiful "experiment" - Richard BassNut Greene 07:11:21 03/6/08 (0)
