OK, here’s one for you Skeptics: Prove that objectivity exists.
Good luck with that.

Most Important, Unloved Cable...
Ethernet. I used to say the power cord was the most unloved, but important cable. Now, I update that assessment to the Ethernet cable. Review work forthcoming.
I can't wait to invite my newer friend who is an engineer who was involved with the construction of Fermilab, the National Accelerator Lab, to hear this! Previously he was an overt mocker; no longer. He decided to try comparing cables and had his mind changed. That's not uncommon, as many of you former skeptics know. :)
I had my biggest doubts about the Ethernet cable. But, I was wrong - SO wrong! I'm so happy I made the decision years ago that I would try things rather than simply flip a coin mentally and decide without experience. It has made all the difference in quality of systems and my enjoyment of them. Reminder; I settled the matter of efficacy of cables years before becoming a reviewer and with my own money, so my enthusiasm for them does not spring from reviewing. Reviewing has allowed me to more fully explore their potential.
I find fascinating the cognitive dissonance that exists between the skeptical mind in regard to cables and the real world results which can be obtained with them. I'm still shaking my head at this result... profoundly unexpected results way beyond expectation. Anyone who would need an ABX for this should exit the hobby and take up gun shooting, because your hearing would be for crap.

Actually, in the real world, claims do not (rpt not) have to be substantiated, proven or any such thing. Products do not (rpt not) have to be proven to work, they do not (rpt not) have to be explained. Measurements are not (rpt not) required. Those are all old wives’ tales. Have fun in your pseudo skeptic's daydream. 🍭"claims do not (rpt not) have to be substantiated proven or any such thing " Yes they do (rpt they do) "Products do not (rpt not) have to be proven to work" Yes they do (rpt they do) "they do not (rpt not) have to be explained" Yes they do (rpt they do) "Measurements are not (rpt not) required." Yes they do (rpt they do) Your logic has been soundly defeated. Be a man and admit it. Seriously? What problem solving paradigm do you support which doesn't demand evidence to support a claim? Have fun in your fantasy land of fantasy beliefs. Again, sorry you missed out on 500-1500 AD, that must really make you sad. |

atllaudio353: Thanks for calling out this annoyingly overused "(rpt not)" phrases by goeff. Methinks he sits all day in front of his ultra expensive stereo (with garden hose size, elevated and pre-frozen cables) with tablet in his lap awaiting Audiogon posts to which he can protest with "6K post number authority." This is not an insult, merely an observation. Try it. Counter one of Geoff's posts and you'll get a sarcastic reply from him in less than five minutes; complete with the equally annoying little icons. |
