was certainly a purveyor of arcane knowledge and I enjoyed reading her articles in TAS. :-))
But I do not understand your comment about "the direction of her kitchen's water faucet "?
We call them "taps" - so, presuming her tap had a sink either side of it, was she saying that having the tap turned to the right ... produced a different sound from her audio system than if she pushed the tap to the left sink?

As you very correctly pointed out I meant to refer to the "tap" on the faucet. My tap swivels 360 degrees around into both sink basins yielding a near infinite number of positions to test. Yes, EL reported in TAS that different tap positions resulted in a different sound. (I had yearly subscriptions to TAS both before and after her column appeared. I found the 'rag' to be both educational and entertaining, and very importantly it had contributions by HP. (One of the Hi End founding fathers!)
Jonathan Scull thought he could tell geographic location by listening. And I don't mean "a French sound" or "a German sound."
I think he usually meant specific locations, like a particular square in a particular town, at a particular restaurant, and a particular night out, and it was nether too hot nor too cold.
I am fairly sure that is *not* what subjective reviewing is supposed to mean.
If I am off base, then let me be the first to say my system right now can best be described as "my great uncle Bill Owens." RIP. On Thursdays, after he had his evening martini.
One olive. Stirred. But if I swap out the Harmonic Tech cables and put in my Kimbers, then it sounds shaken. And that is some very sweet vermouth Magnepan has a hint of these days.
