Is it all in my head??

When a naysayer ( and I am being gentle here ) " suggests "and " implies ", over and over and over again, that those who do ( myself included ) hear differences in power cables, might be imagining it, I simply have to laugh. It has become a joke at this point. There is some kind of emotional high that they are needing to feed. They cannot accept a very simple fact. For some reason ( s ), they are not hearing it or unable to hear it. I admire those who have tried to listen, but do not hear it, until, they make claims that it is an imaginary hocus pocus for us who do. And the worst of them, are the ones who never try, and call hocus pocus. These threads have become comedic entertainment for me, and I no longer see any of this as serious exchanges of words or ideas. Let the psychobabble continue. Enjoy ! MrD.

The problem reminds me of an old guy who lived in this building. He was 88 Still driving his car. Top speed for him was 15 mph! Jeez you should have tried to watch him park.. Half an hour. or more.    
Anyway, he was complaining the car was broken. The brakes did not work right. He paid to have them fixed. He said no good.Then he decided to BUY A NEW CAR. Which totally made everything way worse in every imaginable way. So what was the problem? HIM. He could NOT accept HE was having trouble feeling anything in his feet. It HAD to be the car. Even telling him point blank.. Did not matter. ten minutes later it was the car...Sad. Some folks cannot get past the ego.        
Like the Carly Simon song: You’re So Vain,(you think this song is about you.)     
So what was all that for???                               
Just saying some folks cannot believe the World is not exactly as they believe. Just impossible. Cannot be any other way than what they believe. So clearly, to them, anyone saying otherwise HAS to be a lunatic. Or confused, or at least lying.

prof says
" Friends, including fellow audiophiles have described the sensation of hearing my systems as “spooky real” and are generally amazed.

BTW, this didn’t take any aftermarket power cables or expensive high end speaker cables/interconnects to achieve :)"

It sounds like you have a great system prof. Do you use any power conditioning or audio grade outlets?

Totally agree.  Some people’s ego seems so wedded to their subjective infallibility that they have trouble even imagining, let alone admitting, they COULD be wrong.

Those of is who proceed on the well justified assumption we could be wrong, find this very strange.  Finding out how we could be wrong, or if we are wrong, is a way of being open to learning.  I just find it odd that so many seem closed to this.
