"Other than me and possibly E-stat (who only started posting here recently), can you name any other person who posts here who has "hundreds of dollars" invested in cable? I didn't realize that I alone had the power to be the main person driving the conversation here. Thank you for the huge boost to my EGO. It was in sore need of reinforcement."

Before you get too smug PC, I would remind you that prior to Woodman revealing him as a racist and his subsequent departure, Jameson Davenport Briggs III likely had more money tied up in cables at the Caribou Compound in Maine than you have invested in your entire sound system. A thirty thousand dollar turntable didn't mean spit to him. As America's number one audiophile, money was no object and only the finest would do. People with that much money and that much interest eat Vandersteen V speakers and Rolland amplifiers for lunch. To them those are the equivalent of a table radio to the average person. So beware. No matter what you own, how much you've invested in it, or how great you think it is, there is always someone out there who makes your prized possessions look and feel like Salvation Army Store rejects.
