Hey Harmon Kardon, welcome. As hot as it gets over here at times, I still like to think that we reflect the AK roots most of the time. It's always nice to get some perspective from across the pond - maybe get us out of a parochial rut.
By the way, I like the handle. Although politics is not allowed over at AK, we have been known to discuss audio over here.
But I still say that expensive cables are snake oil.
Regards,
D-Ray
