I also let that guy mod a set of AKG K340 with his silver cable, and it ended up ruining their sound - sucked out all the warmth that made them kinda special. Should've kept them stock. |

I wonder how many things people swear by today that they bought after reading shining reviews by "knowledgeable reviewers" that will fall into the "dumbest purchases" category in a few years.
I consider myself lucky that I never bought anything expensive that I regret. Probably the silliest thing I did was over 30 years ago when I wanted to add mass to my turntable by making a stand for it that was filled with 600 pounds of vibrated compacted sand. A short welded stand would have been just as good because that part of the house was on a concrete slab to begin with. |

I have stayed away from buying things I don’t understand. I pretty much ignore “knowledgeable reviewers” when it comes to audio tweaks because auditory memory and cognitive bias are very strong forces indeed. Lately I’ve been delving into the science of power distribution and RFI/EMI reduction. It’s a fascinating subject area. There is a pony in there somewhere.

And then...there's the QR/BB technology. If you want to delve into the science behind that, PM me with your email address and I'll send you the patent.
