Why Do Schumann Resonators Work?
@jerry When we speak rudely about @millercarbon -- or anyone in here for that matter --  we may offend half the room, mon frere.  Look up Dither.  Also remember that the scientific community called Vitamin C a "witch doctor" cure for scurvy for... 
Does your "esoteric" taste in audio also exist in other "things" you own/consume?
YES.  1. Amateur astronomy. Purist telescopes with frequent upgrades & tweaks for improved performance. Incidentally, a lot of apochromatic telescope purists are also audiophiles. The philosophies are highly congruous.  2. I have a wife that... 
The best plug in filter ever!
@ozzy  "C'mon man!" LOL  Yeah this is probably a bad idea... my wife is going to ask me questions about how much various things in my system cost.   
The best plug in filter ever!

REALITY CABLES ?
Just an update on Reality Cables. I do NOT recommend buying them. Sound smeary with rolled off highs compared to other cables. Also, dishonest marketing-- they advertise a "sale" price on the internet, which is the highest price they have ever sol... 
REALITY CABLES ?
Looks like last review was almost 13 years ago. Any updates? Anyone tried Reality Cables' brand new Reference Line? Balanced Interconnects are $500/1m+$25/ft, RCA $400/1m+$25/ft.  I just bought a set of these interconnects that came out in late ...
