What empirical findings? I don't see anything on that page other than some gibberish about materials and a whole bunch of unsubstantiated claims. All this from a guy that makes his living *selling a burn-in product*. At least the tobacco industry studies showing smoking is good for you presented some fraudulent pseudo-scientific data - this guy hasn't even bothered to go that far. It never ceases to amaze me that some audiophiles regard the opinions of untrained people, people with a direct financial interest in the subject, as more credible than those of disinterested professional scientists that do full-time research on it. It's as if there's some vast conspiracy of scientists working feverishly to hide the truth about great audio, while a few brave Promethean dealers selling $1000 wires forge ahead expanding the frontiers of human knowledge.... -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33615 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
