    In light of the fact that I accurately quoted the Petri-Larmi study that I referenced (AES 1980) and that the quotation was affirmed by the Petri-Larmi "smoking gun" paper that you erroneously referenced (IEEE 1980), would you like to revise your opinion regarding my research, comments and calculations regarding the audibility of signal noise reduction due to higher quality power cables?

    Well keep waiting. As I said above, if it's 33 to 53 times greater than the threshold of audibility, why can't it be demonstrated? Should be easy, yet it's never done.

    Improper stereophonic blind tests are the last refuge of the outwitted naysayer.

    I do believe I am a rather reserved member at this forum. Never really argue with anyone, dispute anyones opinion, anything I don't agree with etc. So creating this thread, however dumb an idea it might have been, hardly constitutes a pattern of consistency.

    I went grocery shopping recently while not being altogether sure that course of action was a wise one. You see, the previous evening I had prepared and consumed a massive quantity of my patented 'You're definitely going to crap yourself' chili. Tasty stuff, albeit hot to the point of being painful, which comes with a written guarantee from me that if you eat the next day both of your a$$ cheeks WILL fall off.
    ...
    Home again without having shopped, I realized that there was nothing to eat but leftover chili, so I consumed two more bowls. The next day I went to shop at Albertson's. I can't say anymore about that because we are in court over the whole matter. The **** claim they're going to have to repaint the store. Anyone gonna dispute this cause/effect tale ???:mrgreen:
    Plagiarized or not, that was effing hilarious. I was laughing so hard that my co-worker was wondering what the hell was wrong with me! :eek:

    I still vote for the margarita for me, but same premise!

    Only if it meets the criterion of that chili described in that story. Combined with gratuitous amounts of alcohol, that should make for some seriously potent out-gassing.
