| Objective vs. Placebo relating to system changes Well said Frogman. | |
| Digital Source with Tube Amplification I don't think it has much to do with the fact that it is an analog recording but the pedigree of the the SS receiver as there are quite a few out there that can bring out the best in a CD. Also, the tube amp you have is most certainly imparting a ... | |
| Objective vs. Placebo relating to system changes The underlying and often understated meme here is the expense of trying things. If one was financially set then it would be nothing more than a matter of trying things to see if one could hear a difference that resulted in a better outcome. One wo... | |
| Objective vs. Placebo relating to system changes Understanding the 'science' behind something doesn't constitute a bar of sorts on which to judge others perceptions since the beauty of that 'science' is that it is disprovable.

| World Series Buzz It's the rest of the world snoring. | |

| Still mystified by mega expensive power cords Thank you Astock for another great example of empirical observation. We can only rely on what we see and hear.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Have you gotten great sound in a small er room? My room is smaller than yours (approx. 10' X 15' with it opening to the rest of my place on one of the shorter wall sides with windows on the other shorter wall) and I have my system along the long wall. Obviously, it's not as deeply layered as I'... | |
