Mr. Jones , you might also do well to read Paul McGowan's PS Tracks blog. If you are as open to having your own assumptions challenged as you are to challenging the assumptions of others, you might actually discover that not all matters can be answered by measurements or double-blind tests ( which have long been abandoned by audio designers as useless). For others, I would,indeed, recommend you read Mr. Aczel's diatribe. It puts him squarely in the conspiracy theory camp occupied by people who have NOTHING to do with invention, innovation or the furthering of this great hobby. Mr. Aczel would have you believe that William Zane Johnson of Audio Research was a dishonest or deluded huckster trying to lead you down the garden path. Mr. Jones either failed to understand Lacee 's point or he's just here to throw boogers at everyone who wants to share their audio discoveries. I'll let greater minds be the judge.
