Speaker wire is it science or psychology
Steve..... ears are connected to the brain, but obviously not with everybody.... and if Garfish trusts what he hears, he, like the most of us, is having fun and he's learning something new everyday. No stale repetitions of fundamentalist RHUBARB (... 
Speaker wire is it science or psychology
702, its interesting what you say about not being able to hear simultaneously. I have not been unsuccessful in discerning between different amps or wire in rudimentary blind testing, ( no scientific aspirations here in this case) what I needed how... 
Attention Scientists, Engineers and Na-s
Hello 702, there is one basic mistake in your assumption:"We" are not trying to offer scientific proof for what we maintain we hear. All what we are saying is that " there is something. " It is not necessarily our concern, if science agrees with u...

Speaker wire - equal length or shortest?
It certainly is not RHUBARB what has been said above. You'll probably find us all in agreement here. Best, 
Sunfire tube Preamp owners please read
Hi, I've never seen tubes glow much in a well designed preamp in the fashion you see in the pictures. Generally a tube really aglow is not a good sign and you can generally expect trouble. I guess your assumption about advertising hype is correct ... 
Which MIT cable b twn spectral eidolon
Try to get in touch with Joe Abrams ( equusaudio@aol.com)Apart from being a nice person he is very knowledgeable in things Spectral/MIT. (Funny I found the V2 better on ESLs also with the 360s. But then, as you say, its a highly personal thing.

Why Don't More People Love Audio?
