Re: "'being silly"

I don't think so, Pat.

If a person believes that wires (interconnects) have no sonic effect on reproduction, then refering to a "neutral interconnect" is a redundancy. By definition, they are all neutral.

So, which is it: a defect in your writing or a defect in your thinking?

;-0 [trip!]

BTW, if you personally want to test this proposition, buy yourself a pair of DH Labs Bl-1 interconnects and a pair of Goertz Micropurl AG interconnects. They're both cheap, especially if you buy 1/2 meter length. It shouldn't be too difficult for you to set up at least an SBT of them. I make that suggestion in all seriousness because, until I replaced the DH Labs with the Goertz IC's I didn't think interconnects made any difference. Of course, the components I was connecting were different from the components you are using, so it still may not work. FWIW, the electrical characteristics of the two ICs are quite different. The Goertz wires are high capacitance, low inductance; and the DH Labs are higher inductance and probably relatively lower capacitance because of the differences in design.
