Absolutely spot on! A couple of well known designers that I know just don't "believe" anything will affect the sound of their superior circuits. Genius as they are they spend all day measuring and not listening to their circuits and readily admit so. So I very carefully avoid those "voodoo"subjects in their presence. Music and science, a very strange symbiosis ...
