Do we believe in Machina Dynamics?

Jea48, It's obvious from your questions to Pauly that you have a complete command of the science involving outlet covers - at least I assume that all of the things that you bring up can affect the difference that different outlet covers can introduce into out systems.

Why don't you take a moment and enlighten us on the science involving outlet covers and how all of the variants you bring up can change the differences that they will introduce.

Oh, have you submitted your set up to such rigorous standards? Have you done blind tests? Or do you just hear a difference with your 'dog ears'.

Jea48, I guess you can credit my post to ignorance, interest, and a lack of civility that is becoming a far bigger component in posts about tweaks than the tweaks themselves. Your 'hearing' attack on Pauly was just the perverbial straw. There have been far more eggregious comments by others including Pauly and tgb.

If you don't answer my question thats OK. I'm too lazy to really undertake the suggested research so I guess I'll remain uniformed.

But perhaps you can tell me why folks have to decide whether other folks are deaf, ignorant/uneducated, or deluded depending on whether they are believers or athiests.

Albert is IMHO an outstanding advocate for his beliefs. I can't recall seeing him insult an adversary. He might even chose the time to walk away from an uncomfortable confrontation, IMHO a wise move. Why argue with some one you don't/can't respect. I don't, and I don't tell my enemies when their fly is open.

You are not going to change Pauly's opinion (nor is tgb) so whats the point of continuing. Those folks who feel as Pauly does will do so because its natural for them to do so not because of his articulate balanced presentation of his case. He is never IMHO going to bring any believers over to his side.

But, by way of example, I believe the manner in which the 'believers' present their case, such as have been pursued by posters like tbg as oppose to Albert can easily convert open minded (not pre-disposed) audiophiles to non-believers.

FWIW, IMHO, I feel better for saying 'a pox on both houses'.

Don't take my comments more personal than you deem necessary. "-)

Jea48, Thanks for the invittion but I think this thread needs to go to sleep now. If these subjects come up again I might join in. :-)
