Perhaps I'll see if bigshot will demo his stereo for me...(really like to hear it, if only we were near by!)
The neighbors will attest that you don't need to be nearby to hear it!

I hope it is evident to everybody from this post my intentions are good - in no way I intend to discredit anybody who has honestly contributed to the cause of better recording or reproduction of the sound - and specially not you, who have kindly shared your knowledge regarding analog mastering and azimuth in particular. It is just the fact I can not pull the magnitude or % of distortion from thin air due to (temporary) lack of measuring equipment - but if it is visible on the scope with naked eye, it can not be low enough to ignore.
I never wrote/said anything regarding audio cables. <snip>

That was directed at Moncrieff. That's the kind of thing he does.
I, for one, enjoy reading your thought provoking posts.
This is obviously not a peer reviewed scientific journal, so I read it in that context.
Keep up the good work,

Unfortunately true.
On the other hand, dismissing his original if sometimes outlandish ideas and approach altogether would be foolish - beacause even if he was right only in 0.00000000000000000000000001 % of cases, that one in which he IS right might be the most important of and key to them all.

I openly admit to lack formal education to be able to do that in a peer reviewed scientific journal.
The gripe I have with peer reviewed scientific journals ? In general, they tend to admit anything that is not conventional to the max so that each and every of the peers feels comfortable with it only if and when enough information regarding the topic in question "leaked" to the interested public that not admitting it would clearly present them in bad light.
You're writing TV soap operas now! I want some of that stuff you're smokin'!
Ok, here's a parachute that only opens 0.00000000000000000000000001 % of the time.
Go ahead and jump. If it opens, it'll be your best skydive ever.
It is funny how people think that an audio device will sound sharper/harsher if it has more extended frequency response. Exactly opposite is true - the more extended the rsponse, the more naturally rounded "nothing to comment upon" sound emerges. Want proof ? Go to the

Exactly my sentiments. The guys at 2L really know what they're doing, for the record. I would be hard pressed to find any better sounding recordings. By the way, the real benefit of having more bits and a higher sample rate at disposal is not really the extended frequency response, but the fact that there are more bits available in order to produce a more faithful reproduction of the original analog waveform. This is particularly important at lower levels and at lower frequencies.
