not as accurate" or whatever else than another amplifier which has
0.005% [EMAIL PROTECTED] Both amplifiers having the same S/N ratio and the same
frequency response.

False fact #2: A 1$ worth audio cable has no audible coloration in
sound.

False fact #3: A DAC with 95dB S/N ratio "sounds worse" or "is not as
accurate" or whatever else than another DAC having a S/N ratio of
110dB. Frequency response and THD being the same.

Pseudo-scientists can be anything : diy-hobbyists, electronic
engineers, sellers, hifi critics.. . Not all of people of these
categories are such. The problem is that hifi is not a science and (as
such) it has no universal rules. The pseudo-scientists simplify truth
