You're erecting a straw-objectivist and then beating him over the head. The fact is that it seems to be -subjectivists- that have the most trouble relaxing and enjoying music. Objectivists have, if they choose, a perfectly well-defined set of criteria for choosing and comparing components. Moreover they understand that all that really matters are speakers and music - most of the rest is irrelevant. Subjectivists, on the other hand, have to fret over cables, power cords, magic pebbles... the result is inferior sound, an empty wallet and very little time spent actually enjoying music. I haven't changed anything in my system in quite a while, and (unless there's a practical reason to do so) I don't see why I would want to. I'm very satisfied with the sound, and if I wanted to improve it I would focus on things that actually make a difference - like rearranging the furniture or moving the speakers - rather than $1,000 wires. cliveb;410994 Wrote: > > CatBus made the same comment: that Objectivists are not making such an > accusation.

The gullibility comes from believing that your subjective impressions correspond to any kind of real change in the sound. There's a big difference between that and what you said. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61877 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
