Skeptic or just plain hard headed
Hi Keith!You have mentioned your natural inclination towards skepticism.  I’m curious about the nature of yourr skepticism.  If it is merely a tendency towards cynicism or doubt, that is fully compatible with being fooled, because every human expe...

Thanks @waltertexasAgain, that’s in incredible sounding system you heard.As for the type of dimensionality and sonic “dissapearing” of the speakers - that’s something I’ve always favoured myself, and my speaker choices reflect it. I regularly get ...

waltertexasThat listening experience sounds totally awesome.  Reminds me of when I got a private demo of the MBL flagship system.  Quite head turning!Though I’m curious about this:—-“After experiencing that, it is now my view that everything matte...

Why Power Cables Affect Sound
@bigkidzEvery audiophile who has experimented with better power cables has heard the performance advantage they offer. Not true at all.  Outside of certain audiophile site bubbles, plenty of audiophiles, audio enthusiasts etc don't hear any differ... 
Magicos are chesty
What took sciencecop so long to show up and browbeat anyone dissing Magico? 
Watts, and clarity.

Magicos are chesty
erik,I’ve always appreciated your contributions as a DIY speaker builder, without anything to sell. I’m sure you would have a good ear for various speaker colorations. Though, I’m curious: how certain do you feel about attributing the chesty color...
