| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? Last night I switched my speaker wires from 16 AWG copper to 14 AWG copper. I hear a subtle widening and deepening of the soundstage together with slightly improved rhythm and pacing. I KNOW WHAT I HEAR. And this is what I hear. Or at least I thin... | |
| Best lower end cables for B&W speakers...? The wires you're already using are WAYYYY overkill for any speaker no matter how overpriced. Forget wires. Save up for something that actually matters. Like speakers. In fact you could downgrade your wires to 16 ga. zip cord and there would be abs... | |

| Does anyone use wood for vibration control? wood accomplishes absolutely nothing at all. doesn't sound better. doesn't sound worse. doesn't do anything. | |
| How important is the rack you use for your components Any rack is capable of perfect sound. Just go to the hardware store and get foam weather stripping and isolate the components from the rack frame. God there's so much idiotic nonsense around here. | |
| Cable septic No one hears a difference between wires. In fact what they do is imagine a difference between wires. | |
