My comment did not aim to you personally at all (but I have heard 
several fairytales from musicians and other sound engineers and we 
should therefore be very critical when listening to such theories).  
Sometimes it is very difficult to fully understand the things going 
on in our equipment. Therefore, we should be careful with our 
explanations for these effects. I also agree, that everybody is free 
to use the equipment, that works best for a specific purpose (from 
his or her personal point of view), regardless of the theory...
