Illuminati (3rd Degree)

Glad you liked it MR Vinyl.
One point you brought up: all amps and cables most certainly do not sound the same. After you read the articles mor eclosely you'll see he is simply saying, amps that are run with minimal distortion well below their operating capacities, with flat freq curves will sound the same.
Cables that have indetical LCR charactersitics sound the same. It;s all there in the artciles, as you start reading closely.
He also justifies why he reviews amps & digital sources, even though he expects them to sound the same. he repeats thsi in many reviews so we know why he is doing the review. basically, his point is, even if a cheap CD player and an expensive CD player sound the same, people may still prefer the more expensive one becuase it is built better, will last longer, looks better and measures a bit better.
SAme reason why some folks will buy a mercedes, even if it performs exactly the same as a hyundai, UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS.

Glad you got $30 worth out of it. THe more you read it, the more sense it should make (or the more you'll hate it!)
