I am new to this site but have spent time reading some of the previous threads. I am amused that rather intelligent people can engage in such heated disscussions trying to disclaim one view over another when the topic (cables) is not that difficult to begin with. Unless you have a completly wireless system then cables are required to make it work whether you pay $5.00 for them or $500.00 it dosn't matter. It's what the individual prefers and people come to this forum to get info based on other members experiences with them. Now I do not have a degree, pretend to have a degree or plan on getting a degree so here are a few of my simple observations. 1) When it comes to music or the reproduction of, it's what you hear not what you know that matters. 2) Two ears and a love for music is all the credentials you need in this here hobby!
