A fresh approach to cable analysis
This is a rather tiring controversy and I'm not really interested in "argument" with @gdaddy1. But for a thoughtful refutation, it's difficult to do better than "The Blind, the Double Blind, and the Not-So Blind" by John Atkinson.

Ha-ha. I'm not going to waste my time arguing with AI. goodlistening64 Because the market was booming, the price per gram and overall spending varied drastically over the decade as supply chains exploded. This led to a number of untold audi...

An Audio Amateur's question about McIntosh Audio
goodlistening64 ... the demographics/audience of this site is predominantly composed of senior white men. So, McIntosh has a history here and a following that is awestruck by blue and green lighting. Really? You think McIntosh buyers are a...

audiophile folklore - cables and claims from manufacturers
frank009  The laws of nature and the laws of electricity do not permit wire from sounding different, unless it is is damaged or defective. What exactly are these "laws" that you reference? Maybe you should get together with that "writer" Dou...
