DSP and stores - Anyone else get the feeling they might be sweetening?
I think not letting you listen to any of your own music is a key tip off. Not that I'd say you can't do business with them because of that, just that they may not be operating transparently on that score, as you say.BTW, just wait until the issue ... 
New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies
But, the home environment is not a vacuum. RF can be reflected or blocked, can it not??

What do you think about this statement about "AUDIOPHILE"?
I think it might usually be a little dangerous to try define the boundaries of this hobby. Whatever rule you think you might be inclined to come up with that seems to fit, then along comes the exception that disproves it. I’d say there are, in the... 
Asking suggestion for $15,000 audio system for classical music
Hi @classicalguy, I think @millercarbon makes a fair point: it would likely be a missed opportunity to budget for more expensive gear alone instead of scaling back in terms of the cost of the components themselves and using the remainder of your b...

What is wrong with audiophiles?
My assertion is that when we stop learning, we tend to stop living...even if it's to fight something that otherwise might seem important to us at the time. Go your own way as you like, but that's maybe the best benefit of my own experience in this... 
What is wrong with audiophiles?
Don't know that I can accept your premise, honestly. I can appreciate that some audiophiles seem to me to be irrationally or persistently overbearing when it comes to what others report hearing firsthand, but that's always really been the case. Ev... 
What is wrong with audiophiles?
Yep, that's what I'm sayin'. 
What is wrong with audiophiles?
If there are any people here on Agon who are publicly identifying as a "non-audiophile" and are arguing counter to audiophiles here, then it has flown under My radar...Maybe someone can direct me to where that was specifically going on...I suppose... 
What is wrong with audiophiles?
