I wished there was a third one of that kind and here there was a few posts down
Here is a disbelief, this can’t be Wagner! (*) .

(compare it with “expected” Wagnerian stule of interpretation, e.g. Marta Moedl, Astrid Varnay, Kirsten Flagstad, even Birgit Nilsson)

(*) yet, the ‘darkest’ interpretation I’ve heard
inconspicuous? in a 10ft by 11ft room. No chance
Well, you're probably moving into a pressure regime versus multimodal domains. Cabin gain?
(You have my full sympathy!)
In my experience that is not fully correct.
Many musicians do indeed tune into the composition, the vibe etc at the expense of fidelity, but not all.
When musicians are shown for example a better sounding instrument cable they typically jump at and demand such improvements.
Musicians know what they can create in their practice room, but have to contend with and accept inferior fidelity when playing live performances.
The good ones moderate/alter their playing to end up with the FOH PA sound resultant that they want to project.

Looks like you need this. The speaker cables are copper ribbon hung from silk threads attached to the ceiling. A riddle from the manufacturer...
This reminds me of Kurt Schwitters "Merzbow".

I just spoke by phone to Robert Harley and asked him specifically about the HCA2200 review that he did at 'Stereophile' twenty five years ago (April 1992). He told me that he always LISTENS FIRST, before looking at or analyzing the amp circuitry itself. He also told me that he felt sorry about my loss in the recent firestorm, and he really wanted my design to be successful. So much for sighted bias, and at least he remained honest with his listening conclusions. He thought it was not 'right' sounding. Later when I modified the amp and introduced the HCA2200 MK2, I finally passed the listening threshold with 'Stereophile'.
I trust Robert Harley on this, so there! '-)

Nah, just a small living room in my peasants cottage!
Wow, I thought you couldn't get any smaller than a one up one down in darkest (and wettest) north west Wales
So:
1. LISTENS FIRST
2. Peeks under the hood
3. Writes review for Stereophile.
The review results/conclusions are now obvious.
Waly, you are full of it. Can't you read? '-) Also, to update Robert, I pointed out various inputs from you, and others on the DIY thread. When it came to your comment on 8 legged devices, he said that he uses lots of IC based equipment and it passes sonically, especially digital based playback equipment.

Of course I am full of it. I always was and always will be when it comes to audio swindles. I always hope some of it will hit the fan and properly paint the perpetrators.
According to your write up, and your previous statement about, that's exactly what your beloved Stereophile and Absolute Sound reviewer did, in that order. And about Robert using op amps, doing what, building with them like Legos? I haven't heard of one Robert Harley as a famous electronics/audio designer, not even at the hobby level.
What exactly is the swindle? Or, to put it another way, what would need to change to make it not a swindle in your view?
Obviously, if you don't get it by yourself, then it would be useless to further explain and expand on it.
Well, I see in the news today that drinking diet soda is associated with stroke and dementia. I guess that means purveyors of diet soda are violent felons? I don't see that either, but maybe you do? Does that make any sense to you?
Seriously, I don't see a swindle. I think you should explain it or retract the rant.
