A New Believer

'If you have come to this site with preconceived notions and are attempting to "set things right" in a search for truth, you are quite frankly in the wrong place'.

I came to this site to talk about stereo equip and music. I agree, I am in the wrong place.

'All most of us really want is reproduced music that is satisfying to us personally'

I have that now.

I am not discouraged. I just asked a simple question.
If the signal,i.e., the information on two different cables going to identical speakers in the same enviroment is the same. Why would the sound out of the speakers be different?
I was told 'you have to have faith'. As far as I am concerned, that ended the argument. You can't argue with faith.
I don't think you have fully understood the implications of the philosophy that permeates this site.
I do not have some sort of personal 'belief system' when it comes to hifi equipment. I follow the science. The people I learned from are all dead, and they had no agenda. They just loved the equipment and music. So do I. BTW I don't think there is anyone on this site more curious than I am. Hence my question in the first place.

"I was told 'you have to have faith'. As far as I am concerned, that ended the argument. You can't argue with faith."

No YOU WERE TOLD TO TRY LISTENING !

"faith is believing what you know ain't so".Mark Twain

I have faith in the fact that this is an idiotic thread about a subject that has become "argumentum ad nauseam".
