Unbelievable


Yamaha really made this statement:

Glossy black piano finish provides improved signal-to-noise performance

Some years ago I read a number of articles that different varnishes can affect sound, so maybe not too far fetched
Hi,
it is still refreshing though that still the big ones can create some ripples.
I had the chance to listen to the SSAR1 a couple of times. It is an amazing and demanding speaker, and less forgiving than its little brother the SSAR2. Japaneese always had the tendency to promote, in MHO rightly so, natural materials origined from their country. 
"Genuine Naugahyde" is a fine example of a U.S. marketing ploy used years ago.
