"Either way I know logic is not what matters, it's experience."

I think logic and understanding are more important than experience because they drive the experiences. If my experience was that my 'modder' didn't understand a two element network, I'd be moving right along. In the VW beetle days you knew you'd reached that point when the 'mechanic' asks you to pop the hood so he can check the oil. I think you've arrived.

I meant experience like, "hey, that expensive power cord really does sound better... - hukkfinn 08:20:43 02/10/10 (1)
...even though there is no logical reason that a power cord should affect sound quality."

You always see people ridiculing audiophile stuff like cables and power cords -- "it's just electrons!" "the power cord is just the last 3 feet of a chain of wire coming from the electric company!" "how could it make any difference?"

But then you try one and you realize, with your experience, that it can actually matter.

So I am not going to sit here with a strident phono pre just because I am devoted to some logical concept. I trust the experiences of others in the asylum.

  I'm all for that type of experience, have some myself. By the way I don't agree that "there is no logical reasons" for power cords to make a difference even though I have yet to actually experience it.
  
  What I was trying to say is that knowing whether a shunt resistor is in the 'signal path' or not (it is) is a matter of competence, while knowing WHAT part to use is largely a matter of experience.
