Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

if you like what you hear, if it makes you tap your foot and if it brings a smile to your face, what else really matters

For some stereophiles who like to collect stereo equipment, buying a new component almost always creates that effect ... but it wears off and then they need another "fix" from buying something new ... again and again.

The strange thing is the stereo rarely sounded like live music before or after the new component was installed. One can't even be sure it really sounded different after the new component was installed -- that's not a sure thing. I wonder if this "buying something new" effect could be created by hypnotism -- creating a belief that a new component was just added even though nothing had changed in reality. Hypnotism would be a lot cheaper than actually buying a new component every year, or every six months. And maybe you could delete some other bad habits for the same hourly Hypnotist fee (like quitting smoking, drinking, drugs, excessive eating, chasing women, etc.)
