I got my latest copy of 'Stereophile' yesterday and started to read it. I
came across comments by Paul Messenger about some work that Russ Andrews
and Ben Duncan have recently put onto the web. This seems to be taken by
Paul Messenger as showing that Russ's claims re some of his products are
"now supported by proper scientific analysis".

But having looked at

http://www.russandrews.com/downloads...estPremRes.pdf

There appear to be two components to this, do the Russ Andrews mains lead
attenuate mains bourn noise and does mains bourn noise have any effect on
Hi-Fi systems.

It may have been demonstrated that the fancy cables can show some RF
attenuation but it is not demonstrated that this has any effect on sound
quality, that remains just a belief, "RFI is a major pollutant and we
believe that it is one of the major reasons why Hi-Fi systems do not perform
at their best".

This is hardly peer reviewed science. In my view it is just more Hi-Fi
magazine style guffology but I cannot prove that, it is just my belief based
on the evidence of my unreliable ears, also not peer reviewed.

Are either Paul Messenger or Ben Duncan trustworthy sources?


Enjoy,
