hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ?
Tbg....An example of "impure science" is...1. Resistance in speaker wires is bad. (true).2. Therefore, a resistance of 0.01 ohm will sound better than 0.02 ohm. (absurd).

Hdm...I don't think that it is valid to compare a 115 vac wiring change with the Underwood mod to the Denon player. The mod involves replacement of a lot of active circuitry, and it is entirely to be expected (on a purely scientific basis) that th...

Irvrobinson...My dog says "woof, woof". Make what you want of this. 
Maggy MG12 over the 1.6?
If you will use a subwoofer the smaller Maggies will be fine. Even the MMG.

Albertporter...When the dog barks the guy hears something else, because he wants to. He is happy. So am I with my dog who doesn't need human speach to communicate.Let's move on :-)

Albertporter...Two kinds of insults are being thrown about here. (1) Because you HAVE formal scientific training you cannot maintain an open mind. (By the way you never got back to me about Leonardo da Vinci). (2) Because you DO NOT HAVE scientifi...

Albertporter...The notion that a degree in physics inhibits thought takes the cake. 
Analysis Audio Speakers
Muralman1...Can you give a brief description of how the Apogee was different from Maggies. I always thought that they were much the same, in construction if not in price. 
Non inverting polarity?
Honest1...Your test method is clever, and your results interesting, although I would have to try it myself to be convinced. 
Analysis Audio Speakers
I thought that Apogee went down the tubes because of infringement on Magneplanar patents. What is the story here? 
Non inverting polarity?
Jeffreybehr...I just found out that all JBL loudspeaker drivers have polarity opposite to other brands. A positive voltage applied to the + terminal causes the cone to pull in (not push out). So, if you think absolute polarity matters, and you hav...
