Do my ears deceive me??

Where did the term "mono block" originate?
                                          Semantic Gymnastics!      Perhaps: because some think of various system topologies*, as being built of individual, "blocks" (syn: pieces, parts, components) and the long version is, "monoblock amplifier",...

Why Do Cables Matter?
     I have one word, to express my personal view as regards the Church of Denyin'tology and it's obfuscating, classically (possibly: willfully) obtuse adherents (you know, the NAYSAYERS):                                         floccinaucinihili...

     Feynman was and will remain, my favorite lecturer (yeah: I'm that old).      He mentioned often (and: I took to heart) his favorite Rule of Life: "Never stop learning!"      For all his genius, he never grew overly confident in his beliefs....

Why Do Cables Matter?
@kinarow1 -         Many upscale equipment designers do use better wire within their products*, or: offer such as an upgrade.          Even companies that manufacture PC boards, take into account the dielectric constants, of the material used an...
