[QUOTE="JimJ, post: 459292, member: 555251"] this is why there are places out there that sell several-hundred $$$ per meter interconnect cable...there are people who disagree with that, and enough of them to support a thriving business. Why are Brax/Helix/Tru/Zapco/etc, etc...still sought-after...there are plenty of people out there that don't believe a watt is a watt. Ditto for tube amps. Whether or not they're hearing anything different is irrevelant...what matters is that the market out there supports it. Personally, I think the user interface of an amp has something to do with it...this is why I stay clear of JBL amps, for example. I mean, they're cheap, and I know a lot of people who have had good luck with them, but I can't stand their user interface. The easy-to-get-to knobs on my PG Tantrums are a whole lot easier. I used to have an Avionixx 800.2 before I switched.
