I suppose you can interpret these results to your follow your own point of view, but to me they reinforce my thoughts that aftermarket AC cords are "audiophile snakeoil"

Psychics don't have to guess numbers to be psychics. That would just be a game--and there are more important things to be done helping people.

You guys need to see a good clarvoyant psychic to find out what can he/she tell you...whether reading the cards, shells, tobacco smoke--you name it.

Whith psychic power and primal intensity,

Dragon1952...You also, and others still miss the point about the ROLE of a scientific explanation of physical effects. I will say it another way.

Not everything requires an exact explanation. (Don't misquote me!). I believe in Gravity, even though its explanation is imperfect.

If I believe, based on listening and science, that some audio tweek doesn't, and cannot possibly, work, a hundred people saying it does won't have much luck convincing me. But if one guy can show me HOW it functions then I cannot deny that it works.
Pabelson I love discussions/arguments about technical discussions. I also believe some number of technical explanations marketed by companies are BS and deserve scrutiny. What I was thinking of were technical discussions where a subjective counterpoint is introduced stating that everyone is being cheap and also the the lame "its all in your head" one-liners when posters are discussing their listening experiences with tweaks, cables, etc.
Eldartford....I'm glad you caught the sarcasm anyway. It's sometimes hard to convey without smiley faces. The one that rolls his eyes works pretty well. :^

LISTENING + SCIENCE is probably a good thing. It's the ones that rely strictly on science (or a/b comparisons) that bother me. BTW, a/b comparisons is NOT "listening".
"Pabelson I love discussions/arguments about technical discussions."

I think I may be retarded.
