Synergistic calls out Audioholics

It’s only slander if it isn’t true. Might be interesting to see Teddy trying to convince a jury of everyday people his bloated priced slop he peddles to nincompoops performs as claimed.

ticat, thank you; I attempt to conduct myself with integrity, and although there have been moments when I have not been as courteous as I should, I also attempt to show respect to the community.

I simply find such informal experimentation to be one of my great joys, along with system building. The spectrum of performance in audio systems is stunningly vast, with millions of iterations possible. It is like being on a world tour of secret destinations of great beauty. I want to see (hear) them all! Variety of experiences in listening is THE thing for me, and you do not get variety by sitting on your a-- and doing nothing. It has led to some fascinating experiences; another has just appeared this past week, another variant of systems that I put together and has been delightful. Not discussing that at this time, but it may appear in an upcoming review.

I have made my points, and publicly offered my proposal to SR. I do not intend to continue discussing it here, as it is somewhat off topic. I suspect the proposal will be ignored by SR.

May all the combatants on both sides of the issue of cables enjoy the latest battle in The Cable Wars! Imo, it’s a colossal waste of life and potential of the hobby when arguing about such things if people don’t even follow basic, proper methods. :)

So Gene is single now 😳

pedroeb, didn't mean to ignore you. Succinctly, I compare/informally test for any change. The articles I wrote previously about the grouped tweaks yielded no discernible change! 

If there is change, then the question becomes one of merit. 

Ok, keep shooting; can't let the other side win, even though it's a convoluted mess.   ;)

I agree. I don’t mind people pitching anything, even pricey fuses, but it is often done in a vacuum seemingly for the sole purpose of getting others to buy product X, which comes of as shilling. If you ignore fundamentals first, or get those wrong, none of the more esoteric things really matter.
