... an audio shop that allowed and encouraged A/B comparisons in store ... It is there that I found there is a big difference in CD Players, speakers, turntables and cartridges (I at first did not believe that a turntable could sound different than another with the same ton arm and cartridge installed, but I saw it with my eyes and heard it with my ears). ... - but I do not buy into a lot of the 'hype' unless I can hear the difference - ------------------------ Yes, that is it! Listen. A/B compare. Spend money only if you can hear the difference. Ignore (completely ignore) the explanations of why the differences are there. They are either irrelevant or flat out wrong. Wrong explanations lead to myths & superstition. Go with your ears. That also means don't rule out something just because it doesn't seem like it will work. I don't care if it is special caps, fancy sprays or "naturally generated power". If it produces the results then it produces the results. If it doesn't, then it doesn't. All to often we can dismiss ideas out of hand because they don't fit our limited understanding of things (my understanding is always limited to one degree or another). - Keith - _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
