    To paraphrase:

    Wires are like the glass from which you drink your wine.
    Nothing like a great big pair of speakers to make your day.

    The glass can not make a wine intrinsically better. It may affect your tasting experience.
    It is interesting that wine tasters still prefer subjective descriptions when tasting wines, even though the modern chemistry approach to its production has de-mystified the process.

    A bit like audio, maybe?

    Some music improves with a few glasses of the red stuff.

    OT: Nice to see Marcus Ambrose take another win at Watkins Glen.

    OT!

    Hi, Pano,

    Do you get Aussie V8 Supercars on TV, there? That's where Marcus sprang from.

    Cheers, Marshall.

    Nor can the shape of the pasta or the type of wire. It can only take away not make better or add. If it adds something I suggest that something is wrong.

    Agreed, same with wire. That's why I choose "plain"

    Hi Marshall. We may, but I haven't see it. There are soooo many sports channels here.

    The whole thing strikes me as odd for NASCAR, but there you go!

    A fact that while so plainly obvious seems to elude some of the people most of the time. :doh:
