| Is soundstage DEPTH a myth? Is soundstage DEPTH a myth? Yes. | |
| Absorption, Diffusion or a combination of it all? IDK who Paul McGowan is, but does he have any science to back up his claims about sounds arriving "too quickly" for your brain to sort them out? Also, do you have any evidence that can be replicated that softer wood absorbs more sound than hard... | |
| Spending a month's salary Speakers will make the biggest change in the sound of your system short of room treatments, but those aren't as exciting as a new pair of speakers. | |

| Casual listening I listen to music for enjoyment and "critical listening" would seem to defeat that purpose. Listening to hear how certain instruments sound or if singer is off key would be defeating the purpose of listening. I know a guy who plays the guitar an... | |

| Power cord - 5 ft vs 10 ft ? It's not the length so much as the girth that's important. | |
| Upgrade Cables or Just Upgrade Equipment & Live in Shame? Changing cables won't change the sound. Don't believe the marketing. | |
| Synergistic Research Master Fuse £565 Many years ago Stereophile reviewed an amp that had the option of wood knobs which the manufacture claimed provided better sound. A knob. This is along the same lines of silliness. |
