My explanation of what my friend said was probably not accurate and his explanation may not have an ounce of truth or logic to it. I think what confuses / bothers me with any of the pushback or argument in this thread is that how can anyone say that someone is not hearing a difference, if they say they are, regardless of what's causing it. I've said all along, I don't have the technical expertise to explain the differences in what I'm hearing. But I know what I'm hearing vs. what I was hearing, period. I don't know that I really care why, I just care that what I have now is much better than what I had before. Logically to me, it makes perfect sense. I understand that wpc are wpc just like golf clubs are golf clubs but there are differences in both equipment (amps) and golf clubs. I'm getting real off track here!!!!!
