It appears that George Middius and Dave Weil consider Mr. Graham an

That is not the case at all. I don't really give him any credence,
since he doesn't seem to know very much about audio products based on
his ignorance of turntable grounding straps. Since he decided to
attack me virtually out of the blue, I've decided to toy with him for
a while, giving him a bit back what he's inflicted on the newsgroup.
But I also wouldn't call him a fraud, just a troller.

I did go the the Belt newsletter to see what he was prattling about,
and it's obvious that those folks only buy into tweaks when it comes
from their little club (you know, the one with the secret handshake).
They can believe that applying a stain-removing chemical to a small
spot on a table can seriously impact the sound of a system (and as
long as they believe it does, I maintain that it *does* affect the
sound, because you can't separate the mind from the sound once the
mind has decided something sounds the way it does), but he can't buy
into the idea that placing four tuned and braced wooden enclosures can
affect the sound of a system simply because someone else sussed out
that particular tweak.

So it's fun to play with the guy just to see how wild off-the-mark he
can get. He doesn't get references to Jonathan Swift and he doesn't
understand the comic use of a homophone. So he's a rather dull little
boy indeed. And now he's decended into the IKWYABWAI territory. He's
following a pretty predictable curve. I'd imagine that he's just
whiling away a typical dull British pre-spring.
