So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again...

If you trust your own brain, in a sited listening test, even though physics tells you that what you perceive you are hearing is impossible, then you a self deluded, whether intelligent or not. If further measurements validates the physics and you still are trusting your perception, then are you an audiophile?

And (not so) cleverly hidden in that statement is a faulty premise. They are saying you can't hear what is being measured but not everything can be, and is being, measured.

We are not at the height of scientific achievements and, as has been already pointed out, they need better tools to measure with.

This is turning out to be a knock-off of Revenge of the Nerds.

«ALL that which we hear can be measured,

If you hear something which cannot correspond to any measures,

You hear an "illusion"....»

This is a children sophism....

A children can spot the problem in the premises with the word "all"....


But an adult arrogating and monopolizing abusively the word "science" for itself can miss this elementaty mistake...

So much powerful is this other deceptive "cult" that misrepresented technology with science...And reduce reality to a misconception of  "science"....

Not everything can be counted, counts. Not everything that counts, can be counted.

You can’t judge a speaker by just the freq. response graph. Same for cables.

Yes, if there are some obvious anomaly in the freq. response, then sure you can say it’s a bad speaker or cables, but within some acceptable range, measurements cannot separate the bad from the good.

The problem is 99% of the speakers or cables on the market all fall within the "acceptable range". Only listening can tell.

If you think you can measure a cable freq. distortion and can tell the good and the bad, you may as well spend your time watching paint drying.

Everything a human is capable of hearing can be measured. Sighted listening is not reliable. Neither of these are in the least controversial. 

Everything a human is capable of hearing can be measured

Here another sophism by our "objectivist" apprentice...


Everything a human is capable of hearing can be measured, IN PRINCIPLE,
But all that can be measured NOW does not correspond NECESSARILY with what we can hear today...Or to what need to be measured to represent the audible impression...




Then some perception can escape through the limited way we measured for the time being... And perhaps for a long time indeed because all the body is a multidimensional measuring tool in a way our actual measuring  unidimensional tools are not...Ears/brain/body are ONE perceiving apparatus...

But stay calm, A.I. will figure it out with a "universal constructor machine" and you will be invited to upgrade your humanity on another level soon...I dont joke here....It comes ....
