I have musicians in my room.  Was not inexpensive but no esoteric gadgets needed.    Lots of ways to make tasty soup.

unless you are referencing a different Art Dudley article, he noted that the poorer sound was due to his so called friend magnetizing his phono amp with a meter. He was annoyed by  that and couldn't objectively listen to the snake oil devices any longer.

Mreddy--re-read the article.  The incident you're referring to is stated in the article to have taken place 7 or 8 years earlier.  Dudley was raising the possibility that something similar was in play in this case, that his system might not be optimal for this type of product.

Why hypothesize about these, seems like waste of time. Couldn’t you just borrow a pair and come to a real conclusion ?
