RE: Let me ask you something:

"Whatever dielectric compression phenomena exist between Teflon and other standard dielectrics are well below the threshold of audibility and practical measurement. Practical measurement meaning the standard tools used in designing electronic audio products."

You have no idea what the threshold of audibility is about in anything. That is one thing I am certain about. Because you can't even design an experiment that removes all other distortions and leaves you with nothing but the one being tested.

When a massless building finally comes to pass, then you can talk about the other small mass loadings. Same with a pure amp. A FRACTION of another type of distortion can be heard in the presence of something very large if they're not too much the same type. And distortion is more than THD and IMD. There's dynamics involved, not just steady state old school measurements. You assume way too much. Even if deck chairs are thrown off the Titanic to slow the sinking, something is still observed in this process: The deck chairs are gone! Conclude at your own peril.

Don't assume the situation hasn't come to pass that stink in small chemical concentration can't be smelly in the presence of pure oxygen, either. This, like your analogy, is also a red herring. You haven't shown anything except how you pass judgment on the truly untested results. There is nothing concrete about your own statements.

It's your judgment and your opinion based on lack of experiencing it. Say it like that and I will agree with you. I have placed no judgment on it as no scientist should. A suggestive idea is what you have. That's all. Heard all the time.

You haven't taught me a thing on this whole escapade. I doubt you will. I have not changed my mind like you won't change yours. That I can guarantee.
