[Hi!]
Mr. Mitchell: The problem with underestimating the credentials of
some denizens of the net, as you must know, is to determine <which>
denizen's credentials not to underestimate.  It is true that <some>
of us are world renown authorities in mufti. (authorities on what is
another matter, let us assume authorities on ,say, audio.) However,
it is at least equally true that it is impossible to underestimate
the credentials of other denizens of the net.  I'm sure we both 
have in mind some representatives of each camp. Perhaps that is what
makes the net so fascinating: most of the time one cannot be quite
sure what kind of denizen one is communing with. 
Also, the gentle reader should be informed (in case he/she is so dumb
they haven't noticed) that even the most, highest qualified and
respected among us may, occasionally fall from grace and deliver a
stupid, idiotic, ridiculous opinion - even in, or near, their
speciality. Of course, these remarks are not intended to apply to
anything you have said recently. I agree with your views on audio
house wiring, noting that you largely express your preference for
BX as a personal preference. In my case I have used No. 12 and No. 14
non-metallic for reasons of performance at a price. I have had RFI
which was cured in one of two ways a) I waited until the person
gave up the hobbey or moved away or b) I took out a contract and had
the person 'rubbed out'. Eithedr way was probably cheaper than BX,
but, if I had the money I would sure do as you recommend. On the other
hand, I should confess that in a 'professional' application I used
'speaker wire' of no. 14, 16 and 18 because I had lots of power
(200+ watts into an Altec A-7) and little money and handling convenience
was also important.     Dick Grantges    hound!rfg
