Reminds me of  "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." I think they used Electrostatic headphones to give inmates "shockers. (ECT)"

Let me disconnect the positive from the right, the negative from the left, and see how well that works.
 
Do you think I'll need to upgrade from an SRM-T1S to a BHSE to finally cure my depression?  It has bigger tubes so it has to be better.  Right?

Only if you upgrade your power cords.

Hi All

New to the forums here *insert roll eyes here*. Have tried to spent considerable (office) time reading stuff and been trying to make some sense of all the cable discussions. Including about expensive power cables, ethernet cables, usb/digital cables, analogue audio cables, headphone balanced and unbalanced cables and the like. The biggest threads have hundreds of pages saying whether expensive cables make a difference. I won't and hope noone else starts the usual flame wars, but why is there often so much debate? Why can't someone have a machine with a lab-grade receiver at the end of the audio chain and be able to make scientific testing of difference in cables and be done with it? Why the need for endless debate of believers vs non-believers?

He's definitely trying to understand. But the cable magic acolytes are doing their best to convert him into one of the faithful. LOL

His logical approach will get him in trouble! You can't measure magic with instruments. Magic is disrupted by science. The very presence of measurement instruments eliminates the magic and all sonic improvements. The magic is a quantum mechanical effect and must not be measured.
Measurement takes the "toe tapping" out of the music!

It takes the "toe tapping" out of the pride on how much one spent on cables (and DACs, and solid state amps). :etysmile:

I have stopped debating with a die hard Power Cord Toe Tapper who has spent thousands on toe tapping power cords that extend his bass into the subsonic

If one was to put faith into even a small portion of the discussions going on around the internet, it would seem that everyone listens to crappy music, all of the time.  The reason behind this is that certainly something new will always be coming along that apparently makes a night and day difference in the sound quality.  The current music quality is doomed to be eternally substandard since it will never be able to keep pace with all of these "improvements" looming ahead in the future.
 
I jumped off this lunacy train a long time ago.  I am thrilled with the audio quality I have now.  I just enjoy the music.

What's this "just enjoy the music" nonsense?
