Level matching for a/b testing?
See what I mean? Instead of learning to listen, becoming a better listener, they have you messing with meters, reading readouts. Also notice the guys giving said advice are the most well-known non-listeners on the site. Confirmation bias on stilts... 
Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference?
There are cables so good they will transform a system. Night and day. Whether or not you will notice is up to you. If you think as I do that listening is a skill, then this means you can get better and learn to appreciate what I'm talking about an...

Because now at least you are thinking about it, and maybe a little less likely to waste your time with meters and stuff like all the nice but ultimately less helpful people will say.

Isolation - Isacoustics Puck Mini vs Herbie’s Fat Dots
Nobsound springs will trounce all those, and for cheap. Townshend Pods will trounce springs, and while they will cost a lot more will be so much better they will be worth it. Yes I have done the comparisons. The stuff you're talking about, they ar...
