Depends on the wife. Perhaps she would have more confidence in her
judgement and be willing to have it scientifically tested, unlike most
here?

Only worth while in a dual amp setup.


Perhaps you missed his description of dual monoblocks?


For gods sake, can you just take part in any group without you're cock sure

Once again you miss the point (no doubt to you being totally wrapped in
the technical aspects). Most people have audio equaipment to enjoy
music, if something they added increases that enjoyment then, regardless
of the technical viewpoint, surely that something has merit? After all
it has increased their perceived enjoyment.


OK. Snake Oil for ever! :-)

Not dense!..........indeed, simply run tandem cables from the amp to the
loudspeaker (being mindful of polarity). Also correct, remove the jumper
straps. A personal tip...I as a rule always dip the cable ends(pins, lugs,
spades, nannas, whatever) in a bit of rubbing alcohol just prior to
tightening. I find this not only helps clean the connections of any oxide,
but helps prevent it as well!

Hey, I've got an idea. Let's convince as many people as we can that getting
naked and coating themselves with olive oil will increase their enjoyment of
their audio system.

LOL!

It does, especially in mixed company. What, you didn't know this?


So that's why the teutonic 'tard is the way he is!

I'm with Pinky, it would certainly increase my enjoyment, AFAIAC it
definately has merit, though I'm not so sure extra virgin would be the
way to go on this occasion.


Any party can benefit from an extra virgin..............

0 means nothing, ie it doesn't exist
1 means something, ie it does exist.


It appears that you are the one who does not understand what you
wrote, which was a mathematical expression, not a philosophical one.


In the context of this argument I understood what Kurt wrote and I also
would agree.

So the difference between something existing and not existing is far
greater than increasing the number of existing things.


I don't agree.


Hmm you'd be happy all alone on the whole wide world?
If you had something when previously you had nowt would this not be better
than having many?

Example1:

You have to walk 10 miles to work.. no other means available.. therefore 10
miles back.

Oneday you awake and a Audi TT is sitting in your drive with a full tank of
fuel :-)

WOW you jump in and enjoy your journey to work AND back.

Example2:

You drive to work everyday in your Audi TT... nothing much thought of it as
it sits in your drive every morning.

Oneday you awake and the front of the house is littered with Audi TT's,
however overwhelmed you may feel at having so many cars you can still only
drive 1 at a time.

So therefore is not better to have 1 than many if you had nowt before?

Don't forget that the difference between 0 and 1 is greater than the

Wrong again.

Is it?


Yes.


You're wrong then. Simple as that.


No, Stewart's quite right. 'Difference' is a precise mathematical
statement. The difference between 0 and 1 is 1.

Now if you had said 'ratio', that would have been a very different
thing.
