Speaker wire is it science or psychology

702, to your question: no scientific pretentions here, it was strictly amateurish. Level matching was by ear. I don't remember the exact number of trials. We spent practically a day and we did lots of "runs". The hits were significantly higher than the misses and I remember going through a distinct learning curve. More I cannot say anymore with exactitude. Too long ago. Regards

WOW Craig, great and thankyou and also Detlof thanks for the clarification.

Hi Katharina-- thanks for the kind words. Cheers. Craig

Garfish: We're in agreement on the need for enjoyment. I like to get as much musical enjoyment from audio equipment as I can, too. Listening to music is almost as much fun as making music. But if I can get the same level of high performance and enjoyment for X dollars instead of 20X dollars, I know I'm going to hold on to 19X dollars, because there are other things in life I like to do, too. That's my sensibility; other people can have theirs, however much they differ. It's a free country. I enjoy driving my car, and if I have a choice between a Shell station selling gas for $1.60 a gallon and a posh, gilded station selling gas for $18 a gallon and serving free cappuccino, my choice is already made, and I don't care if I'm giving up the snob appeal of the more expensive gas.

702; I use Shell gas too, small world-- $1.47 per gal. It's a way to save money to upgrade my amps! Thanks. Craig
