[Radio Wrangler]

Applying logic: (dangerous, I know...)

If wire makes a difference and what comes out of one can't be 'better' than what went in the other end, then the best wires are no wires. All the electronics, the tuner, turntable etc should be in the same box.

We're back to the music centre!

But then there are the speaker cables... So the speakers have to go in the box, too. Those audiophiles who treat 'interconnects' as more important than the things they interconnect should never have left the radiogram era.

They've already bought up all the pre-war triodes, so they just need to fight over the remaining radiogram carcasses to put them back in.

glorious sound?...................tick
valved?............................. tick
rare?................................ tick
absolutely digital-free?....... tick
impressively expensive?......soon will be!

We just need an audiophool-acceptable pundit to explain it to them in their language.

What goes around, comes around.
