now this is an outline sketch of article for American Scientific, so I'd appreciate a little help ...

Hifi Audiophilius has been known to hum 'Good Vibrations' but goes to great lengths to eliminate unwanted vibration, physical, electrical or fantastical, upon his/her hifi kit. Usually, examples of Hifi Audiophilius are found in the wild, often marauding about in the vapourware flames of online forums, and we must usually content ourselves with systematic reporting of behaviours via participant observation - prodding and provoking response - and providing interpretation within the framework of grounded theory. But occasionally there is some catastrophic event that causes upset to set patterns of behaviour and can be viewed as a random assigment of treatment.
My current study builds upon pioneering, but now recognised as methodologically flawed work into the assessment of subjective evaluation of mains cabling, using systematic but un-replicated blind testing. The strong 'blind-testing' was achieved by quiet and unseen switching of out-of-the-box kettle leads with 'after-market' mains cabling. It is to this that we aspire when setting out to construct objective testing of the affective effect (or, to comply with the neo-classical, the effective affect) that is discenible from subjective evaluation, by Hifi Audiophilius, of hifi stands upon happiness about sound quality, and that other indicator, musicality.
Pilot investigation has shown that this may prove difficult. However, this is opportunity to deploy all prior investment in WAF/SWMBO technology. The key to success lies in the willingness (and lets face it the ability) of partners to dissemble/re-assemble hifi kit when comparing out-of-the-box Ikear with multi-level Mana and Hutter stands.
I wish to recruit volunteers. My plan is to set up regional groups, in order to limit costs of travel and of shipping metalwork, and woodwork, about the country.
