Jmcgrogan2, you say, "You are correct Sabai, he does have an agenda, a hidden, financially motivated agenda." If he is he has only modified gear to sell and must be in disfavor as he got his Waveguide power center long after I got mine. I do think...

Ddraudt, actually I didn't notice much breakin. It was better the first day. It is pretty obvious. Actually, I think I emailed you the first day. 
How do you judge your system's neutrality?
Scvan, yes engineering can make things that work with corrections. I quit EE when in knew from physics that there was a normal distribution around the computations from Ohm's law in the lab. Tubegroover, I have had many instance were reissues of c... 
How do you judge your system's neutrality?
Scvan, I am talking about what you hear. Some cables have a sharp leading edge and some smear the sound. I always suspect the dielectric materials. We are speaking here of ac signal not constant conduction. If you don't hear how smeared gold wires... 
How do you judge your system's neutrality?
Tostadosunidos, even in a live listening, one doesn't hear what artists "imagined in their heads."I find most systems are smeared because of not only slow drivers without much of a leading edge, but also because of slowness in cables with the diel...

Mapman, why does it matter to you if someone has paid full price? Most cars have a price listed on the invoice but few pay that price. Does it make their opinion on the car worthless? Perhaps you are resentful because you cannot get a discount?I d... 
How do you judge your system's neutrality?
Lohanimal ,Your niece says, "The MC's were picking up and amplifying background ambiance. It may well explain our love of MC's that may well deliver that 'hyper-fidelity'." How do MCs amplify? Should ambiance not be reproduced? Also many MCs recom...

Sabai, Of course, I have made interconnects, power cords, and speaker wire. I have rewired preamps with litz wire. I have made dynamic driver as well as horn speaker systems. I know that I have had a hard time finding quality wire and regretting t... 
Cable Costs Relative to System
Ps, what you describe is life in capitalism. Everyday, people face this issue on every product they need at the grocery store restaurant, filling station, etc.

Swampwalker, there is no question that top-of-the-line audio components have grown quite expensive, but it is also true that many of these sound outstanding but their sound is different.I have three very expensive sets of cables right now. One is ... 
Biggest Baddest Audio Cables
Audiolabyrinth, I have only know one person who had Tara Labs cables and he was willing to send me a pair to listen to. I heard nothing notable from them and dropped further interest in them.Perhaps you don't see many Taras for sale as few have be... 
Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors
Audiolabyrinth, I did what you suggest on an amp. with heatsinks on the back and a hardwired ac cord. One can buy male IEC connector that go on cables. I bought one and left about three inches on the existing pc and attached the IEC male. I then j...

Sabai, I know of several very good sounding speaker wires that cost $25,045. $22,000 dollars and $35,000. Two of the three have substantial shielding, much vibration control, and sophisticated metallurgy. One is a minimalist approach. This is basi...

Audiolabyrinth, he is. Why do you doubt it?
