[QUOTE="fdlsys, post: 711539, member: 2310"] Oom J, really... What is it I said that you consider a personal attack, please?? You are right about one thing though, I certainly do not attack science - why would I, or anyone, ever? I have the highest regard for science. Science and scientists gave us electricity, transformers, rectifiers, valves, transistors, and everything further down the line. Great practical minds laboured on it and gave us many great electronic designs and they measured and showed us the results and left us there to ponder and consider "Which Hi-Fi?" on our own ... I do however have an allergic reaction to the specific chant; that what hasn't been proven (yet) cannot exist. I don't remember any of those great practical minds dismissing outright anything that comes from the plebs - they might go as far as to clearly state the answers to simple and obvious things (yes, diode conducts one way only, but resistor goes both ways kind of thing) but they wont dismiss anyone's opinion where the lines are not all that clearly drawn. And there are sooo many grey areas in audio... I could be wrong, but I honestly cannot say that I have ever seen Nelson Pass or John Curl being dismissive of people's experiences. Maybe it has to do with a generally acceptable principle that if there is not enough evidence to prove or disprove something, the scientifically correct answer is "I don't know" and not "it cannot be - because I don't know".
