I don't get it. He says BA, then he says FA. Then the reporter tells me I should only be hearing BA, but I do not. The McGurk effect sucks.

It's one of the many reasons objectivists like me are the way we are.

My present strategy is this: Keep several amps and cans and dacs - rotate combinations when the upgrade-itch catches you. Cheaper in the long run, only downside is storage. dt880smile.png

He's only saying BA even though his lips look like he's saying the "FA". Perceptual illusions.  Sneaky sarcasm got me.

Well yeah, even with my minimal electrostatic experience I realize that much. Just didn't realize the graphs were anywhere near as close as they are :)

I travel over the southwest a lot, especially up through the St. George area, so I know what you're talking about.
