At least I am not a low-life con artist who sells people a
bill of goods when it comes to the so-called sound of
upscale amps and exotic wires.

Close enough to zero to essentially shunt all of an amp's
audible output around the speaker load and shut the amp
down.

At least I do not claim that one's own, specially built
amplifier has mysterious qualities that make it sound better
than other, decently built versions.

At least I do not claim that exotic speaker wires have an
audible advantage over thick lamp cord. At least I do not
con people into believing the audio equivalent of the tooth
fairy.

This, from a guy who claims that his special amp (or one
that he sells, since I do not believe he designed it) has
qualities that set it apart from all other decently designed
versions. Yeah, it may sound different, but if so that is
because there is something seriously wrong with it.

Why on earth would you want to learn about a library
cataloging system that went out of date decades ago?

About amps and wires? Is that supposed to be you?
