- 1) I'm a total wine tasting amateur but i've listened to music and hi
- fi's for a long time, and in my personal subjective opinion, the differences
- between wines are more immediately apparent than all but the grossest
- (i.e. major speaker & frequency response) differences between stereo
- components.

- 2) The biochemistry and physiology of smell/taste is exceedingly complicated
- (how many different chemicals are there?), wheras very-low-frequency
- electromagnetic technology is essentially a solved problem.

- I bet I could make a good cable long before I could make a wine
