I cannot believe it! RBG the KING of the Objectivist Lunatic Fringe, believes I picked all of the MOST bizzare claims in the catalog! The reality is they are NOT bizzare!PG 25 I agree with 100% I have proved to myself that beyond a shadow of a doubt that better CABLING & VIBRATION-CONTROLLING devices improve the sound of a system quite dramtically for the better!
PG 27 I cannot agree or disagree I've never used speaker cables shorter than 8'. So I don't know if shorter cables sound worse or not.
PG 29 I agree 100% over 37 years of striving to perfect my audio systems has taught me that WIRES ARE A COMPONENT JUST AS CRITICAL AS SPEAKERS OR AMPS!
PG 33 I agree 100% I've heard changes in SOME interconnects make as much or more difference than changing SOME speakers.
PG 38 I agree 100% (In principle) I believe, but haven't yet proved to myself that brass footers "could" transform the sound of audio components. The reason I believe in principle is I heard a VPI "Magic Brick" transform an Audio Research amplifier. Funny part is when Leo Oxley put the VPI "Magic Brick" on the amp, I heard no difference. Even 10 minutes later I couldn't hear a difference, yet the moment he removed the VPI "Magic Brick" from the amp, the sound became blurred and a lot less transparent. That tweak amazed me!
So YES, RBG I believe Mapleshade when they state these are some of the factors that attribute to making their recordings sound so remarkably lifelike!
As I said before I believe it's illogical to first praise a recording and then later berate the recording engineer, when he explains the methods he uses to achieve the recordings you find to be so incredibly good, because you don't believe the improvements/tweaks can be proven to work via DBTs! But then again this is NOT only a member, but rather the KING of the Objectivist Lunatic Fringe I'm responding to, so I guess that in itself explains your illogical reasoning of your post!
