Romexwerx, you are providing yourself with your own punishment for taking a view that "wire is wire". It is clearly not the case, so you are relegating your own system to poorer performance than needed, simply because of your closed-minded position. We don't care if you think that "wire is wire", because we have already learned something that you apparently haven't, and are enjoying the benefits of it, while you languish in mediocrity of sound. It is not we who are suffering from the delusions, and wasting our money. You are operating under a misconception, and you should be glad that others are pointing out your error. Perhaps a little more listening, and a little less "book reading" would be of benefit to you.
