Nope, I believe cables make difference, DAC that doesn’t always measure well can still sound better, and various other thing.
Synergetic Research folks are CROOKS, I’ve seen them at various shows, dealers, and have heard their FAKE demos. They play psychological games on ppl to make them think they hear a difference, worst was at last year’s Axpona. In contrast, one could clearly hear sound improvements in demos by Audioquest, and other companies.
That’s my opinion, I’d NOT buy a product from dishonest ppl. Even if they may have some products others enjoy, you can only trust a company if they’re honest in all cases.
I’m also into car racing, and have been tracking my cars for 15 years. I’d call something snake oil, if one claimed it add 100HP, and when I put it in, car doesn’t go any faster… it’s still snake oil no matter how much they pretend it’s otherwise.
Explain this… IF A FUSE can make such a big difference. I am sure PS Audio, and other companies who spend YEARS and MILLIONS researching products and how to make them sound better, could JUST do a MASS order of “orange fuse” at a discount rate of $25, add it to their products and call it a day! Why bother engineer anything? Just change the fuse!
