I once heard of an audiophile (with way too much money) following the sage advice of his audio pusher. He had run his $1,000+ speaker cables under the rug for some distance. "No good" said his guru. He had to buy some sort of supports for his cables to get them off the ground away from the rug. Well, at least now I know someone who makes them. ;-) - Jeff -- JSonnabend ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JSonnabend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64972 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
