Sorry for the "ego bait", but...

I think high end audio is a lot of fun. I've bought and designed high end stuff for a long time and had a wonderful time with it. As time passed, and I learned more about psycoacoustics, I began to play with the idea of what people hear versus what the sound waves do. Look at the image above. The two horizontal lines are the same length, but your brain insists that one is longer. When you put a new set of speaker cables in, listen, and think "that sounds better", your brain is doing the same thing as with the lines. It may actually sound better (or worse), but in most cases, you really can't tell.
