Yes, network box. MIT say this is going to correct phase response. I measured Group Delay as well, and indeed it was smaller (I have MIT shotgun, one of the least expensive models) comparing to XLO I have Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation, these are full range speakers and quite resolving. Both Chesky and Classic Records, two of the high-res music publishers, use these in their studios. In general, at least my experience says that the cables do not do big difference, but they do. Not all of them, not in every system, not with every type of music. There is a nice paper by Nelson Pass http://www.passlabs.com/pdfs/articles/spkrcabl.pdf Worth reading, there are measurements and listening tests -- michael123 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ michael123's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23745 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81616 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
