Well, for an alleged troll post, I'd say this thread has at least
generated some good discussion, and perhaps some food for thought for
many.
Maybe a little bomb-throwing, but largely a civil discussion. That's
good.
As far as cables go? I believed in magic when I was 7. I don't now.
I'd be curious to know how many of the cable nay-sayers have demoed some
of the more expensive speaker wire vs. the standard Radio Shack wire in
good quality home set-ups.
