"Likewise, your theory, which is all it is, that all mods affect sound in some meaningful way, is patently false. Human hearing, like all human senses, has it's practical limits."How do you know it is false when you don't listen?......again, you have no idea of what you are talking. You cannot measure most things that change the sound....it is that simple. You cannot measure them.....how many times do I have to say it. Forever, I guess, because you won't listen and find out for yourself directly.
If you came over to my house I could blow your mind in five minutes.
I had an employee who had never listened to a high end stereo sit in front of my modded Quads years ago. I had her just listen to the cymbals only. Then I went into the bedroom and did something and played the cut again. I asked here if it sounded different this time. She said it sounded smoother and cleaner but did not have any of the audiophile jargon like "less grainy", etc.....so that is all she could say. Then she asked me what I had done and I told her that I had unplugged the digital clock from the wall next to my bed (the whole apartment was on the same power). She could hear this without any prior listening experience.....a total virgin. This game is really subtle....everything makes a difference.As to what is better sound.....well that is all in the ears of the hearers.....simple as that. But everything you do makes the sound different.....so how can you say you like the straight wire approach when every piece of wire sounds different. If he thought the stock NC700 was perfect then why did Bruno put a newer input stage and better output filter caps on the Mola Mola? Does it measure better because he did this.....you know it does not......the game is never ending. Perfection is light years away. The Mola Mola amp is not a straight wire with gain device......try the amp bypass test and then you will know. Nothing passes the straight wire test....not even wire.
I do read what you say......but all your posts are the same......a veiled subtle way of saying that Ncore and measurements are God......it is really too bad you don't get out more....your life would be more fulfilling.
