The Intellectual People Podcast - Galen Gareis (Former Belden Wire Designer)

dletch2,
Your automobile analogy in regard to "reduced emissions due to platinum/palladium alloys in the catalytic converter" is exactly how I would expect you to pick the audio equipment that is right for you.

Others may prefer the listening technique though  

dletch2:
"If a single cable, replaced anywhere in the signal chain provides no audible difference when using actual critical listening testing, with attempts to remove bias, then replacing the whole loom is not going to either."

Where is the "science" in that statement dletch2? Is this a new type of science where there is no need to test your conclusion? 

thyname:
Your assessment of Doug is spot on. He is (& has been) active in advancing high end audio & an asset to this site.
