Upgrade...Sounds great...Goes away

audiogon forums are good examples of group think. many members will believe opinions and recommendations without thinking for themselves. when someone suggests that is not a good idea, he gets critocozed for it.

i guess political correctness applies to the world of audio as it does in other areas.

Sometimes a change,is just that.
When was political correctness an issue-just the facts maam.Dragnet!

where did the teleportation thing go.

Yes! Now I have something else to change/improve to move towards a sound that I am happier with. Sometimes it's change sometimes it's improvement and sometimes it's both. Adding vibration removing devise(Navcom pucks) is a change that led to an improvement in detail equaling cleaner leading edges throughout the spectrum equaling more detail. Now that there is more detail I can hear more and want to change something that I wasn't aware of before. Isn't this one example of how our systems evolve?

Samhar- YES, BUT: You're just imaging the improvement. You know: The (ubiquitous/inevitable/worthless) 'Placebo-Babble', er... I mean, 'Placebo-Effect'. KUDOS on your experimentation. Don't give up the Quest.
