LOL

You're ok tubeguy. At least you just made me laugh. BTW, I never said cables don't sound different. They *can* be made to sound less than neutral, which combined with a less than neutral tube amp, may euphonically color the sound to you or someone elses liking.
More power to you if you like the result. As long as we both realize that you are purposefully coloring the signal to meet some end, then we're both on the same page.
I would not use something as crude as a graphic eq, BSR or otherwise.
The DCX takes the digital signal from the CD and manipulates it in ways that a graphic analog eq or your passive XO cannot begin to do.
It can adapt a speaker system specifically to the ROOM, something that has a FAR greater effect on the sound you hear, than some silly cable or (non-clipping) amplifier.
You really shouldn't cry so much. It's quite unbecoming for a 52 yr old. Enjoy your euponic coloration system. It's your ears it has to please, not mine.
Of note, even the wacko magazine "subjectivist" reviewers that review the type of coloring equipment that you use, will grudgingly admit that speakers like the Orion and Summa are among the worlds finest - if they have heard them. You should take a look at what both Linkwitz and Geddes have to say about that sort of silliness - tubes/wires.
How about this, you enjoy music on your system and I'll enjoy music on mine. That way we're both happy.
If there is a DIY event in FLA later this year, I'll do my best to bring a pair of my (active)creations and hopefully you can attend. There is always someone there with tubes so that you can compare.
I doubt very much you would bring your amp/wire/speaker combo to be judged by a jury of your peers, but who knows? Maybe it only sounds good in your room? Only one way to find out.
My speakers won't have such problems, solid state amp, rat shack wires and all.

cheers,

AJ

BTW, have you replaced your speakers internal wire, tinsel leads and voic coil with that "high end" magic wire of yours?
Have you replaced all the wiring in your house out to the main grid with that magic power cord material, or does the magic only begin at the outlet you're plugged into? Strange how that works huh?
