What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
The ancient Greeks believed the Earth was a sphere and measured it. https://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/200606/history.cfm#:~:text=240%20B.C.%20Eratosthenes%20Meas.... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
Of course I'm serious but you're to dogmatic to look beyond the end of your nose.  You assume everything you did worked without proper methodology in your experiments. But carry on.  
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
Because the 2 arms of the bias accusation are too large and encompass everything...Bias is large and it encompasses everything. No Biases can explain or debunk 2 years of incremental chganges in my system and no blind test is necessary..Bias can... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
Of course, there is a bias, but let’s still assume that not all people who use special audio wires are biased. That sounds too far-fetched)Why is it too far fetched? You make a claim saying there is only one conclusion, I give an alternate conclus... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
Are the differences audible? Was a proper test conducted to determine differences? Lead BS Detector 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
However, people who confidently perceive this component of sound are forced to make another, the only possible conclusion in this situation: the electrical and acoustic signals contain some additional signal(s) that are still unknown to scienceThi... 
Best Bang for your Buck DAC ?
Depends, how many inputs do you need, do you want volume control, are aesthetics important to you ? Are you willing to compare DACs without knowing which is which? If you want 1 or 2 inputs, volume control, not interested in how it looks and accep... 
Can Any Bookshelf Speaker Be Used Nearfield?
Get something designed for nearfield you’ll get better sound at lower volume as well as ear bleeding volume. Neuman KH120 or Genelec 8030C are perfect for less than 2 meters. They have some basic EQ which will help with desk bounce and bass.

I believe ASR has acquired one of these regeneration devices and has it in the queue for testing. 
ATC SCM150 (or JBL Synthesis) (or JBL vintage) (or new Klipsch Jubilee)
You seem to like ATC and that’s a good speaker. They make great drivers and have solid performance but make no mistake they are not a ruthlessly revealing speaker. They have the British sound signature. For me they would need to be EQed the upper ...

ATC SCM150 (or JBL Synthesis) (or JBL vintage) (or new Klipsch Jubilee)
If your preference is "neutral fidelity "  and active you should at least give Dutch and Dutch 8c, Kii3,  Adam and perhaps Genelec (which are very neutral) a listen.  
Installing Dedicated Power Lines -- Need Advice
I n the OPs case 20 amp breaker is fine, 12AWG is fine no advantage to using 10AWG unless your run is very long, like100 feet or more.  Industrial or hospital grade receptacles work well they grip better.  
Installing Dedicated Power Lines -- Need Advice
Doesn't make any sense, the filtering inside each component protects it and the other components. There's nothing wrong with a power conditioner and in certain instances it can help but it's rarely needed. Surge protection is fine for surges and s... 
Are Preamplifier’s Relevant Today or just a Hinderance with Digital Playback ?
You don't know what the "colorations" are. You're getting into what Floyd Toole called the circle of confusion. Take the mic, room, equipment,  speakers etc.. used to record and these Recordings are as different as night and day from each other an...
