A challenge to the "measurement" camp
If the person buys (spends money) on a power regenerator and then needs to buy a new power cord for it to sound better, On paper, but there is no such thing as 100% isolation.  They are all connected in there.  Also there is no such thing as "p... 
Who says cables don't make a difference?
Heck, I've must moved my seat about 1in. and it makes the world of difference.

Robert,You ought to team up with djones and fight back like a man :-)

and mine contain clear, concise concepts That's so funny.

The man (or men) is definitely a one man show :-)

For those interested, here's the article from PassLabs talking about feedback vs no feedback.  Forward to Figure 11.  It shows feedback reduces the overall distortion but has more higher order distortion which the ears are sensitive to.  This is a...

^It's interesting that I made a post with regards to feedback amp vs. no feedback amp with information comes from PassLabs and they attacked that too.I think they just smell some blood and go after it without knowing what it is first.

Can someone interpret what the pigs (3) are saying?  I've never known what pig wrestling is like but this is close.:-) 
A challenge to the "measurement" camp
A good example is measuring amplifier THD. Amps with feedback tend to measure better vs. amps with no overall feedback, but we all know which ones sound better.What happens is amps with feedback tend to have higher order distortion and our ears ar... 
A challenge to the "measurement" camp
Not everything that matters can be measured, and not everything that is measured matters. I am sure there are people in this thread will try to argue with this.  I mean there's guy on another thread thinks he can tell which is a better cable by...

^!^ Actually it's already been done in the form of Active DSP speakers, but it's a step backward in term of sound quality.  So you can't have both.(You would still need two power cords - one for left and one for right speaker).

^^^ How do send wireless info from the amp to the speakers? 
A challenge to the "measurement" camp
A lot of studios record everything in digital and use that as their master tape (or disc) because it's easy for mixing in digital.  But that makes sense because they can afford top notched ADC (so it's not like some cheap ADC found in the garden v...

Skin effect increases the resistance of a typical speaker by about 0.o1 Ohms at 20 kHz, something that can be calculated from any E&M textbook used in master's degree level courses. In series with speakers with DC resistance of 4 Ohms the ro...
