I'm compelled to agree. This site has jumped the shark. Can't really call it a forum anymore. It's more of a double-blind clique or a scientific circle jerk dominated by individuals who will stridently and truculently shout down anyone who dares voice an opinion or an experience that they view as heresy. What a wonderful combination of hubris and pedantry. Julian Hirsch is not dead. His spirit lives on in this forum.

P.S. Receivers, interconnects, speaker cable, power conditioners, etc., all have an audible effect on the sound. If you can't hear it, TFB.
