NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables??

Simply Q , so when my wife walks into the room and says wow,
that sounds better... What did you do to the stereo... without prompting...
That likely means I did something that to improve the sound.
There are many " real improvements" out there for your stereo system.
You can also change equipment and make it sound worse.
To say it is mostly in your head and not real, that is your opinion but I don't buy it. Just leave it at that.

Well now that we've all seen the worst side of what forums can do... let's eat cake and move on. Cats can come too.

There are always going to be clashing personalities and differences of opinion. It could be in audio, it could be in a bank. It is FAR too easy to misunderstand when reading text and especially when dealing with people on the internet. Ultimately, they're just words and are only sharp-edged when the receiver of those words lets them be.

So I suggest we let this discussion die or be deleted and move on from lessons learned. I imagine no one will lose sleep over staying in the gray area.

As Confucius once said... "Man who goes to bed with itchy butt, wakes up with stinky finger." --I have no idea what that had to do with anything. But there you go.

No argument here.

I have seen a lot worse. This is child's play compared to some other sites I have inhabited. That being said, I am not a fan of censorship in any forum and believe in freedom of expression even if it is deemed ugly. I am also not a fan of aggressive, unbalanced, unsubstantiated claims about equipment (and more importantly equipment comparisons) that can metamorphosize into a nasty dialectic of slander/advertising whether it comes from an end-user, dealer, or manufacturer. We need three things: grace, balanced objectivity free of self-interest and self-promotion, and transparency.

The absolute worst I've ever experienced is the rec.audio.opinion newsgroup.

Haven't visited there for some years, but it was the worst cesspool on the topic of audio I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot.
