Why"double blind"tests don't work:brain?
Ignatz, I'm interested in what you have to say, but am not quite sure what you mean by software vs. hardware. I didn't quite get the connection with what you had just been saying. Please explain.One comment, when we are listening/viewing without a... 
Why"double blind"tests don't work:brain?
This idea strikes me as very interesting. As a soon-to-be neuropsychologist, I've read up on things like this. As it turns out, the sections of the brain responsible for musical perception, recognition, and possibly production(this is too diffuse ... 
HT vs. stereo pre-amps again
There may be something I'm not getting about using a tape loop. Is there a difference between using the tape in and any other input? If you use the whole loop, where does the tape out go? You've got the tape out AND the main out...Please advise.

Whatever Happened to Snell?
I also have a pair of C5's which I love. I now have their new center channel speaker (XA55), which is part of their new line that has powered subs. The speaker has just burned in, and I'm pretty happy with it. South Park (great name), their websit... 
buyers/sellers that DEFAULT on contract
Similar thing just happened to me. I paid via paypal, got an email in return saying he was going to ship it the next day, and it is now 2 weeks later (he said 2-day for shipping), and he hasn't responded to several emails. I'd take him to court if...
