Laws are meant to be broken. I broke two today just messing around. Science can’t keep up with audiophiles. Science - and to a certain extent audiophiles - mostly still think quantum mechanics is just a theory. Einstein didn’t think it was even a ...

Mucho gracias for the heads up, Georgie. You are the model of mental health and reason. Well, except for the stalking. 😛 
Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio
Once the expression, "There are only three parameters that affect cable performance -capacitance, resistance and inductance" makes its first appearance, I'm out.

Gee, I was wondering why my room is green and walls are padded. Whoa! 😳
