Can a change in negative feedback sound better?
Al,As usual, you cut right through the hype and get to the heart of the matter. I must admit that what they claimed about curing negative feedback effects had me wondering since all of that kind of circuitry occurs inside the amp so how could it w... 
Why no DOOMS DAY sales?
On an aside, it would be interesting to find out what, if any, things were done at the old Mayan temples. There are enough around with ties to Mayan culture so it would stand to reason that some might have gone the extra mile and put a human heart...

how much of a difference should equipment make?
Ecsrun, your simple cable swap should make it clear to you that all the above, though well intentioned, means practically nothing when it comes to your and your wives ears. YOU heard the difference with YOUR own ears when YOU made the cable change...

Escrun,(to quote Morpheus, in The Matrix, upon Neos awakening) Welcome to the real world. :-)All the best,Nonoise 
how much of a difference should equipment make?

Affordable SS amp that has tube characteristics
I misquoted the price for the integrated as the amp, alone, starts at $450 and the integrated version starts at $550 but even then, if the sonics prove out, it will be a bargain.All the best,Nonoise
