| Dynaudio 25th anniversary speakers John Marks gives a brief review in the current Stereophile, but not enough info to really get a handle on things except that he liked them very much. | |

| Cryo'd outlet in power conditioner? Hdm, I'd like to know how your appliances are performing with the receptacle upgrades. | |
| Why is Double Blind Testing Controversial? I have had Elmuncy's experience many times: noticing a dramatic change when I first put in a new component, only to have the improvement slip away after a time.That said, I hasten to add that I have Valhalla speaker cables in my system and find th... | |
| Why is Double Blind Testing Controversial? Doesn't double blind mean that the experimenter also does not know which is A and which is B? That's harder to pull off. Simple blind testing should suffice.I agree with you. It should be used more. | |
