Less my silence be confused as an acquiesance in Mikes philosophy let me say that I do not agree. Price is relevant. A manufacturer should be able to explain how his product works. The more expensi...

mike- it seems you are conceding that the cables are doing more than passing the signal unaltered. I think it is important that the manufacturer tell us what it is. don't you?

Albert-Sometimes I smile when I hear you talk about a product being to much of a problem...or even more so too expensive...Your current system a duece of 750's and the dalis.Hardly practical.

far be it form me to challenge Albert but the Atma-sphere MA-2 should be on your short list. I know ALbert tried those. In my opinion OTLs and stats are a match made in heaven.
