System and Room synergies

Hi, Dave,

I am constantly amazed that what works in one system doesn't in another. I think it is one of the fun aspects of this hobby. Room acoustics, speaker types, etc. Admit it. There are a lot of variables. And most of our systems are evolutionary. One piece built upon the other.

For my ears and environment, the thinner, silver wires seem to work. Solid wire seems to win out over stranded, but I have visited friends with radically different systems and room acoustics where what works for me doesn't for them.

I have really come to the conclusion that each of us is correct. What works for our ears (and our pocket books) is probably best. I used to drive Porsche's now I drive a 6 year old Saturn. Frankly I like the Saturn better, though I loved my 914 (which wasn't really a full Porsche anyway). My 1962 Carrera 2, which I prepped for racing, was ALL Porsche, but definitely not a pleasant car to take a Sunday drive in. But it did sound awesome at 7000 rpm! We grow older, wiser, crankier, saner, ......more deaf.
