I'd like to share my expierences in changing audio pieces or cables. This may seem strange but I've run across this many times. On occasion when auditioning a different piece of gear or cable I would hear either subtle or no difference. But when I would put the original piece or cable back in my system is when I would realize the different characteristics of the piece or cable that I had taken out of the system. This may not seem to make any sense but for me it has become part of my auditioning pratice. Perhaps I don't have the golden ears others have, or I wish I had. ----->Ray
