[Elecraft] u want nice audio?

[Don Wilhelm]

Kevin,

Not Monster Cable, but a good large conductor flexible speaker cable 
just the same.  As much as those cables are over-hyped, there is still a 
need to carry a large current for the power levels that some of the low 
frequency notes can produce - yes, the Vandersteins will go down to 20 
Hz with good response and little coloration.  I did listening tests 
before purchasing and satisfied my ears rather than listening to sales 
and advertizing hype.  Before the listening tests (many years ago), I 
could not conceive that a turntable base (all were good heavy solid 
construction) itself could make a great difference, I thought it would 
be mostly the tone arm and cartridge, but listening tests proved that to 
be false.

I don't buy audio from Radio Shack here - I have a good audio/home 
theater shop in the area, and have been dealing with them since they 
started over 20 years ago.

73,
