That’s really interesting insight, Tom. As to possibly different design decisions made by that newer 2.7 team,  I’ve posted earlier in this thread, Philip Bamberg who worked on the 2.7 design had posted in another forum:Philip Bamberg: I can vouch... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
You’re playing word games, or perhaps you are just profoundly confused. No, cleeds, I’m being very specific about in what context in which the word "fail" can be, and is, used by researchers. So the FDA is also "profoundly confused?" when they use... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
cleeds,You are simply ignoring the relevant details I supplied in my replies.You’re being silly. The purpose of a drug trial is to test the efficacy of a treatment. It’s not to test the patient. I’d put the word "fail" in context when talking of s... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
taras22,So your bluff was called.  You sought to dazzle with a  technical 23-year-old Stereophile article, the relevance of which to my points you can't be bothered to demonstrate.   So all you have to fall back on is personal insults again.  If y... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
taras22,My goodness, firing the personal insults at full blast! Is this going continue to be your modus operandi? Maybe you don’t care, but whatever titillation comments like those may bring you, it makes it harder to take your posts seriously. Yo...

taras22,Anecdotes from your days selling audio gear do not constitute a refutation of what cd318 wrote. (Selling! And we are to assume no bias may have entered the demonstration scenario to influence an outcomes benefiting the store?) Not that I’... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
cleeds,A listener can’t "fail" a listening test - that’s a common misnomer about scientific listening tests. Did you notice the word was in quotes? That indicates it’s use was qualified - used advisedly - in this case a short-form term for not pro... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
analogluvr,You passed the reading test! ;-)As you saw, I made it quite clear that any results from a well designed test are provisional, limited to the scope of that particular test or set of tests. Results never "prove" things but only possibly a... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
Ah, the classic "calm down" reply. "Why you so mad bruh"?Baiting or silly replies are hardly reasons to get upset; I just point them out for what they are, and note they are relevant for claims that it’s the skeptics looking to tweak noses, not th... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
taras22,Ok, so you made an admittedly silly equivalence between a change in 3dB and the change in lights from on and off in an a room.  I portrayed that difference as subtle but distinct.  Which it is. And for reasons backed up by the links I gave... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
taras22,Would you like to explain further? Your comment suggests you misunderstand the relationship between altering acoustic energy levels and our perception of loudness.While increasing a sound by 3dB doubles the acoustic energy, we do not perc...

I really appreciate your reply elizabeth, thank you! 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
reubent,Nice to see MW acknowledged by another fan.  I also saw them open for Rush numerous times.  Such a killer band.  And some of their albums sound really fantastic to boot.  (And have you listened to the glorious Rush re-masters on vinyl?)As ... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
cd318,geoff doesn't even try honest debate where you respond reasonably to what the other party actually wrote.  It's like playing a game of darts with someone who never even hits the board, but keeps tossing darts towards the toilet.  You get tir... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
elizabeth,A few things....(and I realize this will likely go longer than you may want to read, but others may be interested in this response):1. The first thing is to note how you seem to be speaking about cable differences. If, as your post impli...
