Are audiophiles still out of their minds?

Geoffkait,

"Lots of notable people don’t believe in things like high end cables, or say wire directionality or aftermarket fuses or fuse directionality and other things that have been around like forever. But that in itself doesn’t mean they’re not true."

If their claim isn’t true, don’t you think those who claim it’s true need to prove it? Oh wait, this is high end audio. Sorry for even suggesting that. 🙄

All jokes aside, from what I recall there have been several published blinded AB tests to test differences in sound between cables and even between amps. But as we know, the results are always the same and not in the favor of cable manufacturers. But that’s another whole can of worms.

Einstein and his refusal to accept quantum mechanics. You have a point there, but he was right about so many other things like gravity waves, space-time, black holes, photo-electric effect, etc. Who knows in the future some genius will turn quantum mechanics upside down and prove Einstein was right. 😏

Drac,

I agree there is no further point in interacting on this subject as we are not connecting on the important issues. Whether you realize it or not the discussion we attempted to have has little to do with audio or cables.  

You appear to me to be a very unhappy person. Concocting irrational positions to justify an attempt to lift yourself above others will only add to your burden. Look within; focus on the pathology of that which drives your need to behave in such a way. Its the only only way out. Good luck with the journey.

Not only do you not have to prove anything but you don't even have to have a viable explanation of how it works.   It just does and surprise unlike most audio things makes things better no matter what came before it.   It's magic and nothing else does it better.  

Not believing in expensive wires and talking about it does not make someone a bad person.  

Lets talk about the topic and not trash the people.   

People can say and buy whatever they want.  God blees'em.   It's just discussion.  Should be nothing to fear.  

Watts, thank you for your online University of Pheonix psychoanalysis. I’m happy you’re crawling back to whatever hippy new age culture you sprang from that compels you to give psycho babble advice to someone you’ve never met. I’m very happy listening to Nora Jones while I write this. And good luck with your journey back to your plane of existence.
