Fair enough - will keep that in mind. > I'm amazed that so many of you are so eager to make definitive claims > without having any real experience. It's astonishing, really. No, not really. If somebody hitting me with a stick has hurt every time so far, I think I am justified in assuming it will hurt next time somebody hits me, despite never having experienced that specific stick. I assume you are familiar with the concept of "null hypothesis"? > Are any of you interested in improving your current system (beyond > speakers and room)? Maybe - but it is unlikely that that would actually be possible. My main system is definitely limited primarily by source material, and secondarily by speakers and room. I don't think (based on my own trials) that any of the other components can provide any audible improvement. > I am. I have done it over and over for many years.

Dare I ask if you have actually verified your perceived improvements using properly controlled, double-blind ABX listening tests? "To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.
