Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles?
Let me know when you want to borrow that dictionary ISO. You seem to have a difficulty with understanding what certain words mean.

Self reflection is not self evident. 
Very bright SC and IC with coherence in imaging, soundstaging and timing
The benefit of the Kimber is not from Litz (or not Litz), it is from low inductance.  
A challenge to the "measurement" camp
glupson,Something tells me the answer to your question may be revealed in @andy2 's inability to answer my question about feedback. 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
Well technically they didn't say reliable :-)    This is sort of like "Fine Corinthian Leather" ... all the better to stick to when your air conditioning doesn't work. glupson5,745 posts07-13-2020 8:14am" Fine Italian craftsmanship."Is that from...

My favorite psychology experiment mahlman is double doors. I can't count the number of times I have walked past a line of people all queued up behind the person in front of them to enter or exit through a single door, only to walk by all of them a... 
DAC Measurements vs Actual Experience
I expect that only the assembled product is "hand built" by Ben, much like every other product in a chassis that is not built in high volume. I certainly hope he does not hand build his PCB boards. "Hand Built" and electronics are two things you r...

10 pages .... and the intended humor and sarcasm of the posted topic .... is still lost (on some).  It has been an interesting psychology experiment @mahlhan. 
Who says cables don't make a difference?
And maybe one day in the future some audiophiles will realize the difference between good sound, and sound that is exactly the same but costs a whole lot more and stop trying to convince other audiophiles to make the same mistake. These same audio... 
Image depth
Looking at that picture in Soundstage the speakers are too close to the back wall or window as it may be. That's a very reflective surface to have a speaker in front of.This seems to be equivalent to moving the speakers farther out into the room. ...

The whole point of the post (or poster) is to "stifle". Why do you keep participating speedbump6? What's up with the whole virtue signalling thing? 
A challenge to the "measurement" camp
Nelson Pass’ article is a marketing blurb meant to fool people like Andy2, who don’t know much about amplifier design. Obviously it worked.Of course, someone observant would say, HEY! the distortion went up from 3 to 6 to 10db feedback, but at 15d...

No, fisherman who are just letting out some line to give you hope, but mainly we are just letting you two "run at the mouth". It is rather funny that you two think people will look "highly" on you two for your childish behavior.  
A challenge to the "measurement" camp
@djones51, jokes on us expecting @andy2 to behave like an adult. He just regurgitates things he reads without understanding it in any detail anyway. That is why he can’t provide measurements. He has 0 ability to do that.  The paper you posted will... 
Why do most phono preamps lack XLR input even thought cartridges are naturally balanced?
Oh absolutely it will do more harm than good. It acts as a shorted loop to the signal wire, which means a parasitic load on the signal wire, bigger than anything else one could do.  It also provides no electrostatic ground. It is a terrible idea ....
