Over the years, I've debated the pros and cons of cabling and came to the conclusion that "all you need is some decent 12ga speakerwire and some $30-50 dollar a pair RCA interconnects, at least some that doesn't require a mortgage on me casa. Well, all these years I've neglected one VERY important thing; my 120 volt power source!. I've always asked my audio friends, Why does a $249.99 dollar Sony surround sound receiver rated at 110 wpc X 6 weigh 17lbs and my 250wpc X2, Yamaha M80 weigh 52lbs? -Jokingly-. Well the laughs were on me because after all these years of stressing how important an amp's power supply is to it's performance, I dropped the ball, until tonight. I went to the local Home Depot and picked up some 10/2 Romex and a hospital grade 30 amp outlet and proceeded to run myself a dedicated 30 amp circuit and HOLY CURRENT FLOW, BATMAN !!!!!. Never one to take the mega buck cable debate seriously, I had mistakenly thrown the dedicated circuit advice in with that bunch of crap!. Hearing IS believing ! From the first powerful note, it was a WONDERFUL, CLEAR difference!!! I realize that MANY of you are far ahead of the game, but for those newbies or non-believers, you have GOT to do this for yourself, it is worth far more, dollar for dollar, than ANY pipe smoking, Harvard professer type can deliver on his silly cables. Now don't get me wrong: there are some good expensive cables out there, and I'm sure what you paid for them, paid off in their "performance" return but the next time someone asks me what kind of cables I use, I'm going to simply reply: ROMEX !
