Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio

To those who blindly (or deafly) ignore the observations of a whole community of listeners, I want to paraphrase a statement I made in another thread:

Because we cannot yet scientifically measure observable phenomena, does not mean such phenomena do not exist.
  In other words, it is entirely possible the ear is capable of perceiving sonic subtleties that current acoustical testing may not be capable of measuring.

I wish we could ask David Faraday his opinion about the sound of wire!

Because we cannot yet scientifically measure observable phenomena, does not mean such phenomena do not exist.
  In other words, it is entirely possible the ear is capable of perceiving sonic subtleties that current acoustical testing may not be capable of measuring.

That is not true. In 2017, science is so advanced that it knows everything there is to possibly know.
There is no more undiscovered knowledge out there.

That's just science! 

Seriously though, I simply ignore the flat-earthers. ;^)

I honestly don’t know why we continue to tirelessly argue on the merits of cables, fuses, components and so on. In this journey, everyone has their own taste, budget, expectations and is entitled to their own opinions.

The most important thing in this hobby is to share some of the joy and excitement of discovering how fundamentally beautiful and important music is, does it matter how we get there?

Peace out!

I hate to judge before all the facts are in, but there is no known way to measure some things in terms of the EFFECT ON THE SOUND. You know what I’m talking about, Mpingo discs, CD treatments, magnetization of CDs and cables, isolation platforms, Clever Clock, Silver Rainbow Foil, Cream Electret, Red X Pen, directionality of interconnects. We’re not even sure we’re measuring the right thing when it comes to fuses, you know, since the differences in resistance are sooo small. And nobody can fully explain in measurments why one cone is superior to another cone in terms of sound. I know what you’re thinking, it looks good on paper.

Sure, some of those things MIGHT be measurable under certain circumstances by someone somewhere. But of course noone ever does. 😀

Note to previous poster: yes, it actually does matter HOW we get there. Because if you don't understand where you ARE and how you got there you cannot proceed to where you eventually want to be. No matter how MUCH you have in the end you could have had even MORE if you had started out with MORE.
