Many of you chaps believe that the Peter Walker(?) "straight-wire"
ideal is that which any "hifi" designer should aspire to construct.

Yep, people such as me.

Do you think that this is attainable?

For me it's not a matter of believing, is a matter of experiencing it.

I've done a lot of straight-wire bypass testing of audio gear and am
therefore intimately familiar with the results.


Arnie, you stupid mutt. Can't you get it into your
head that the reason you can't hear differences in
your tests is that the tests are not sufficiently
sensitive. Serial tests do not reveal subtle differences.

They reveal more subtle differences than do any other kind of test,
which is why top-class manufacturers such as Revel use them every day
in R&D. Of course, they won't reveal 'differences' which don't really
exist in the physical world. For that, you need sighted tests........

Science is no substitute for a vivid imagination!
