RE: Another example of why let the facts get in the way of a good story

As a general rule, since I am not a golden eared audio maven, I usually don't succumb to high priced add-ons of dubious, to me, value. I don't expect for me to hear a revelation in sound improvement with each new tweak.
So, if the device appears to make sense, has some scientifically valid backing, and costed $50.00 or less, I add it. If over $50.00, I walk away.
As for outlets, the PS Audio $50.00 duplexes have been in my system for several years. Are they magical, damned if I know.
Many people with much better hearing, such as my children and some members of professional orchestras, seem to think so.
Just my take on "improvements"
