We have to be careful of these things.  People talk about "veiling the
high frequencies" and extended range (beyond 20khz, etc.) a great
deal.

What they forget is that an average 40 year old male can hear up to
around 14khz, on a very good day, and that he can expect that to drop
by half (7khz) in the next ten years of life. Not that a lot of music
happens up there, in the first place.

So, there is revealing, and then there is revealing.

What I truly like about the audiophile "voodoo" crowd (great phrase) is
that they instantly point out that one's system is not revealing enough.
This, of course, without having HEARD one's system or even knowing what
it is.  I mean, you gotta love it.

Still, people buy into all sorts of things, including the belief that
speaker cable really are directional (no flames, please; that is a long
thread), etc.  Given the financial and emotional investment, it is not
surprising to hear that small tweaks make "huge" differences.
