My god, do you guys listen to your stereo equipment, or the music coming
out of the speakers? :)

I think a few people need to get into high fidelity audio.
To be clear : cable is cable, it's just a piece of metal.( Some people
claims they can hear the difference between a gold and a copper cable,
come on, let's be serious)
Seriousely, ALL cables have a sonic signature. Silver is, in general, a
harsher sounding material. Copper is, again, in general, a warmer
sounding
material. Stranded cables can have a sort of grainy sound, while solid
cables sound different depending on the guage.
You will find the differences into the higher tones. Not all people are
having the same "audio bandwidth". Most people are limited into the higher
tones. Making high quality setups useless for this people.
The level of treatment you are talking about, goes beyond the costs of a
cable or a connector. Boxes, the environment and background noise (FAN)
comes to my mind as potential disturbing factors, which should be treated
as well.
So, if you've got a freevo system wich produces some background noise
(fans, hd), it isn't worth the pain to spend a lot of money into cabling.
Avoiding oxidation however is a must for a professional aproach and has
nothing to do with the initial quality, but everything with long term
quality.
BTW: anyone have build a noiseless Freevo?

Named after its country of origin 'England', English is a little known dialect
used by up to 1.5 billion non-Americans worldwide. Some interesting but
obviously incorrect features of the language include:
- queues of people
- wonderful coloUrs
- the useful metal aluminIum
- the exotic herbs (h-urbs), basil (ba-zil) and oregano (o-re-gaa-no)
- specialiSed books called 'dictionaries' that tell you how to spell words
correctly
Many people using this bizarre gutter speak also subscribe to the pagan belief
that water freezes at 0 degrees and that distances should be measured in the
forbidden mathematical system of base-10...
