    I wonder where that saying came from? since we only have one!

    Whereas I have loads of cables... they're lovely, they make all my Hi-Fi "sing". I used to have a VDH carbon interconnect which I thought was an interesting alternative for signals to travel down from the usual copper/silver wire. I wonder what the design thoughts were for this?

    Could be referring to the different phases of the moon (rather than different moons)

    er yes....1 moon = 28 days !
    A blue moon is a month where you get 2 full moons in the same month.
    HTH :D

    BTW...banpe2006, love your post, tongue firmly in cheek I hope :)

    i find if i unplug all my cables, the noise floor drops dramatically. I might just leave it that way.

    One thing i do know for sure.... all cables sound the same when they aint plugged in.

    Actually the main source of reason on the subject has been lying on beaches and diving with exotic marine life - spending the money some misguided nut jobs might reserve for connecting up their inadequate hifis. It's called having a life ;)
