Brave man, McGowan...

Brave for sure. This will alienate a bunch of people. All cable haters and snake oilers. Very risky business for Paul to post this in public forum.

It's pretty simple, Paul is telling us/you to use your ears. That is all that is necessary. Then decide if you can't live without it or not.

Apparently that’s not how many people listen. Basically, if my Null Tester cannot pick up something, my ears cannot possibly pick up 😬

Speaking of which, it's really funny when such come to the conclusion that any difference they hear yet can't measure is trick of their mind. So impressions are trick of the mind also. And enjoyment comes from impressions. What's the point of being an audiophile, again? ;)

Well, on a related, but much smaller scale, I replaced my PS Audio AC-5 power cable going to my integrated amp with an Audioquest Thunder cable a few months back. The improvement was definite but also hard to describe so I won’t try but I’m looking for a Tornado now and will move the Thunder to my streamer/dac. Nice stuff, but I hope I never hear a Dragon, that snack bracket is just too high!

I will second  emailists' post regarding the Niagara 7000. It is pretty cool that this conditioner accepts power amp input/connection without degrading, stealing  its sound quality.  I have only auditioned Ayre electronics plugged into the Niagara 7000.


Happy Listening!
