Just my yearly chick-in here, nice to see that some things never change.
I
made my own hookups and I like them better than my PBJs. More flexible,
and
the highs are rolled a bit which to me is a Good Thing.

But wouldn't that be less [gasp!] ACCURATE? Horrors!

Yes, zounds. Not there's anything wrong with that. I just like the sound of
my cables better. Go figure. I have been always been quite neutral, but
braided regular Radio Shack copper sounds better to me. (when branded as
kimber does) Even on cheap systems. This was a few years ago. I have since
got some Grados and Bringers for reference. Simply pristene sound. But I
know there is something missing, and I also know that I will have the
hardware to extract this missing detail in the future. However I have good
enough ears to tell that I am hearing pretty good sound right now. Beringer
rocks in the area that they are in- nearfield monitors, and they play
wonderful music for me. bass, good spread, good response. I get the feeling
that I'm hearing everything, given my 30 years or4 so in listening to music.

Don't get me wrong!

I say that a lot, but it rings true. I know how stuff is supposed to sound.
This is like cooking. Getting the right temperature and ingredients all at
the right time. I know how making sound work can be a hassle. It's all about
what tit sounds like to you. Forgive me for belaboring a point that has been
bandied about ad-museum, but this is about how music sounds- to me and to
you. There's no middle ground- there is only how this tune sounds to you.
Make it good for you.
