kosst,I checked out that link.What you missed was an extremely fishy bit of flash animation.So under the web site heading "credits" you have vague (can you believe that?) allusions to being involved with Michael Green Design is "associated" with t...

When you guys start shouting (and most of the time with anger) VooDoo that really only tells the listening world that you haven’t reached the level of empirical testing. No, Michael.  No.People who call out your voodoo do so on a firmer understand...

So that's it is it...yet again...Michael?(Btw, I'm quite sure I can infer your motive for the question about caps.   But my answer didn't actually give you what you want - I didn't proclaim any conclusion either way and simply said I'd look at t...

What it all boils down to in the final analysis is whether or not Tuning causes cancer. Agreed? Disagree. Much more important: does Tuning taste like bacon?

bill333,I have no technical explanations for this, and no interest in finding any. There may be people out there who enjoy observing scientifically unexplained phenomena and constructing theories to fit them, but that’s not the hobby I’m engaged i...

audionuttoo,First of all, remember that we have all been born with the world’s best and most sensitive listening devices ever conceived - our own ears! That’s clearly wrong, and it should be obvious why it’s so wrong.We are building instruments al...

prof, why would I use a part without researching it? Prof, it’s my job to not only consider but to test. Also many of the producers of these types of products are happy to exchange info, like folks doing field testing for them.Excellent.So this ti...

mapman,Essentially I agree. As I mentioned early on, I find the claims from Green to span from the plausible - likely to make a sonic difference - to the implausible. The tunable speakers (and certain types of room treatment) certainly suggest the...

So name calling is all you have, Michael? And you think this is a good look for you?Your refusal to answer challenging questions is ever more conspicuous.You can toss all the "troll" accusations you want - as is your modus operandi - but what you ...

glupson,I'm sure it didn't escape your notice that MG didn't answer your question.  It's the usual two-step: avoid admitting there is no technical explanation, and turn it in to an opportunity to claim again that it works anyway. Anyone want to ta...

glupson,Nice to see people like yourself bringing critical thinking to MG’s claims.They apparently don’t allow too much critical thinking on Michael’s forum. Skeptical challenges to their ideas - simple things like asking for measured results for ...

michaelgreen,The walk here is the fact that caps and the other parts (including cables) weren’t designed and spec-ed out with tie wraps around them. Have you ever considered that this is because tie wraps are irrelevant to the performance of caps?...

bill333How do you listen to a component with its chassis top on when you know that removing it will give you a sound that is so much more dynamic and open? How long can you look at a capacitor strapped down with a plastic zip tie, when you know th... 
Talk but not walk?
hifiman5,WOW! This thread is a perfect example of how science does not and will never account for what our ears hear. "Fake Science"!(Edit): Is that the kind of empirical understanding promoted at the Michael Green site?BTW, I agree with your asse...

shadorne,As you can see: anyone can make up, or infer, any hypothesis they want.And if the method of "testing" the hypothesis is merely subjective, then the results can be confirmed by the imagination of the subject.  Hence...you have endless twea...
