I would agree. The term "listen critically" is foreign to 99% of the population.
That is not some snobby remark, just what I feel is an actual figure.
It is no different in that I would not know how to compare wines critically.

Speaking of listening critically, I installed new interconnects and speaker cables yesterday. Lucy and I are in audio heaven.
Awwww C'mon Merc...what brand?
Synergistic Research Atmosphere UEF Level 4 interconnects and speaker cables replaced my 6 year old Synergistic Tesla Apex / Precision Reference.These cables have dispensed with Active Shielding.

Interesting. They used use some sort of fuse, or was it a tube, to shield to cables?
Why do you think there was a shift in design?
For what is worth, I have always thought Synergistic cables were coolest looking.
They do have a power supply for the Active Shielding that is tubed called the Enigma; but it is very expensive.
The Transporter Ultra is a solid state power supply that runs the cables, AC cables, etc. Synergistic will still be using Active Shielding on the AC cables and Digital cables. This power supply also powers the Tranquility Base and PowerCell.
The new cables use a ground wire that can plug into the wall or a UEF Ground Block that can ground 18 wires.
Very interesting. Thanks for the follow up. This is def. in the category of exotica.
