While researching The Wood Effect I was granted what became a three-hour interview with Dr. Heyser at JPL. It was a mixed blessing. On the one hand he reconfirmed the paramount importance of absolute polarity as the single best means to achieve better audio performance. On the other, he blasted most of our high-end practices and spent quite some time on a blackboard disproof of the effectuality of AC cables.There was no stopping him once he got going on any topic; he brooked to disagreement either.
He also thought that c.1986 CD was a great advancement.
Still, he was spot-on regarding polarity.
