                                                       OOPS!      Make that,  "... might explain some of WHAT'S HEARD from our systems..." (typo).  
Power Cable Break In - Such a Change!
@rwortman -      What is it, far as the topics covered above, for which you are seeking an informed, scientific explanation?      If you have any knowledge, at all, regarding the Sciences; you must be aware, that we only, "know" what comprises a... 
Tube Amp question:TUBE replacements: explain MATCHED?
     I WISH there were yet honest-to-goodness, NOS KT88/6550 valves out there, that could be described as, "reasonable".      The supplies of Sylvania, GE, Genelex and Tung-Sol output valves, have long been dwindling and the prices (if they can b... 
Tube Amp question:TUBE replacements: explain MATCHED?
@moose89 -      The information that blackdoghifi gave you, regarding YOUR Cary amp’s output tubes and why THEY should be a matched set, is absolutely correct.       Given that all 4 of your valves share one bias voltage; not having a matched se...

     According to SOCRATES: "The only true wisdom is knowing when you know nothing."      My version: "In order to know you don’t know anything you have to know something."      Here are examples, in response to a previous post (mrskeptic’s): h...

New Power Cable on a 1990 Hafler DH120?
                        Be careful with your acceptance of advice!      When choosing the values of a power supply's filter caps, it's important to understand how the supply/circuitry functions.      ie: When a DH-120 is switched on: the capacit... 
Is EMI noise in electrical system inaudible?
     Whenever electricity (i.e: an audio signal) passes through a wire, it produces inductance that creates an electromagnetic field.      Because EMI manifests itself at a high frequency, it is commonly believed not to interfere with the audible...

New Power Cable on a 1990 Hafler DH120?
@wlp3-      No one can tell you whether YOUR system/ears will (or can) resolve/discern any improvement(s), if your Hafler's PC is upgraded.      Having done a number of such upgrades, on Hafler equipment:  I will state that the move invariably b...

     The local Master Of The Deluded ("Trust ME, I’m a fictitious operative!"), recommends joining a delusional, "Society".                                       Reverse psychopathy?                                               Projection?    ... 
Power Cables on Subwoofers do Matter
@gladmo -      Based on your experience, as a musician: what percentage of knowing when the rhythm section is right, would you attribute to, "feel" (physiological/tactile)?                        In both performing and listening scenarios, that ...
