What you chose to call a "myth" I chose to call a very carefully planned and targeted marketing campaign. Once one removes the real myth that states that the high end audio magazines produce editorial content that free of influence from the advertisers then one will begin to see just how these "myths" (aka marketing campaigns) work. It's really rather simple: manufacturer (aka advertiser) produces an item that does absolutely nothing and yet the item receives rave reviews in all the high end audio magazines. And so a myth is born. Archimago I know full well that you despise this behavior but I can't but feeling that your very polite responses to these myths is like bringing a knife to a gun fight. The behavior of almost the entire high end industry, from manufactures to reviewers to salespeople, is despicable and needs to be treated not with respect but with scorn.
