Hello.
Your misinformed post caught my interest. I have relisted it below.
" guess gravity did not exist till Newton discovered, and North America was not a part of the world till Columbus stumbled across it too!
People like Bomarc who claim to have the answers based on science delude themselves. Just because nobody has found a way to measure the differences yet doesn't mean they don't exist. It simply means this area of research is in it's infant stages. Infants should not be allowed measuring devices!!!
I suppose the study in Germany in which classical music conductors are seen to hear more than the untrained listener should be ignored since there obviously is not more music being played when they listen as opposed to the average listener!
The biggest problem science has is the pedestrian who actually knows very little that takes something a much wiser person has said and repeats it without understanding what it means.
Every interconnect is different! If you cannot hear the difference you are in the wrong hobby! If you can hear the obvious, just forget the 'junk scientists' who claim you delude yourself and enjoy the music!!!"
I was wondering if you had done experiments with different cables. Were the differences as obvious as you seem to imply in you post? If tests were conducted, how did you perform the tests?
My experiments have not shown any percievable differences. Does this mean that I am in the wrong hobby?
I am open to further testing, but at the moment am content with the idea that good cables are all that are required. A good cable is well insulated and properly designed with sufficient electrical measurements for its required application. It should also be properly priced for its application.
Please do not misrepresent the above remark as stating that I have given up. I am still very open and eager for knowledge on how I can derive these differences you seem to hear with ease. Perpaps your test methodology will help me in my search.
The study in Germany you brought up has no relevance to the discusson of cable differences. It should be obvious to anyone that a trained classical musician will have an advantage picking out instruments and/or details that you or I may not have noticed. If that musician pointed them out to us in a recording, I am sure that we would pick up on them as well. I assume this study was conduced in a live environment in which case no cables were even involved. Regardless, it does not imply or support any evidence that there are obvious or noticeable differences between cables. I realize that your position does not require evidence as this would be a contradiction on your previous statements. Afterall, that would involve science.
Your post only provides stronger evidence in support of the audioholics article on percieved cable differences. The use of the study in Germany which has no relevence is proof of this. It is not relevant to the discussion and only thrown in to create confusion rather then deal with the specifics of the issue.
"The biggest problem science has is the pedestrian who actually knows very little that takes something a much wiser person has said and repeats it without understanding what it means."
I completely agree with the above statement. I believe you are guilty of it in your initial post.
Science is the reason that you have high fidelity to begin with. Seems silly to throw it all away now.
