Re: Imagination.

<< As I have said before, asking oneself the question, "Have I imagined it?" is the FIRST thing an intelligent person asks themselves, when hearing changes in the sound they did not expect to hear ! And the second thing, and the third thing. Then, when they have convinced themselves that they didn't imagine it, then the next question they ask themselves is "Was it suggested to me. Was I expecting it to happen?" And so on. >>

Exactly so.

The protocol I used at Ayre was to make a change to the system and then I would evaluate it independently from another critical listener. We only implemented the change if we both agreed that it was good, and *if we both agreed on the exact effects* of the change.

As a degreed physicist, some of the changes made sense to me. (Tighter power supply regulation = higher resolution and tighter bass.) Others made no sense whatsoever. (Wood blocks under power cords = improved sound quality.)

Please note that the operating mechanism doesn't particularly care whether or not I personally understand it. It just operates. (See link below.)
