why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
I have tried expensive cables and one's moderately priced. I would say there were some differences but I can't actually say the expensive cables were better. IMHO I believe a lot of people buy expensive cables because they don't actual trust their ears and are afraid of making a mistake. They figure the expensive cables are better for the fact they cost more. If you have a difference of opinion or share the same thoughts, I would like to hear about it.

cj1965 "I have a full bench of spectrum
analyzers, signal generators, multi trace scopes, and a very reliable
Earthworks mic that I use on a daily basis. Digital technology exploded a
lot of myths. Now that it is fairly cheap and accessible, only those
who actively choose to bury their heads in the sand will succumb to
foolish arguments involving so called "audible improvements" that can't
be measured or tested for. My microphone can pick up low frequency
grumbling of a truck approaching a quarter mile away and display it on
my software recording dashboard about 20 seconds before it's loud enough
for me ti audibly detect. I see evidence of this every day and don't
needs anyone's "veils have been lifted" hype to tell me if there's a
difference. And no neither NASA nor the BBB are necessary. All that's
needed is a little common sense and a mind that's open to accept science
and the scientific method." Being that you have such an extensive stable of testing equipment and also the considerable expertise to commit such equipment to the rigors of scientific testing and apply the results to the body of data about audio why don't you share with us the results of that testing? Being that you see "evidence every day" of what you call audio myths this should be an undertaking that will only require of a you a very brief committment of time and energy and it will also form the foundation of proof/ legal action you can take against those you consider to be frauds in the audio industry. |
bdp24 I haven’t read through this thread, so forgive me if someone has already mentioned that Galen Gareis of Belden Cable has been writing some articles for Copper, PS Audio’s free online magazine. I’m finding them well worth the time it’s taking me to read them. >>>>See my comments on the Cable Snake Oil Antidote thread. |
Dynaquest, let me re-phrase Elizabeth's statement that I referred to and perhaps that will clarify the interpretation I was attempting to provide in my previous post. Elizabeth said: So far ZERO people have ’changed sides’, or been convince about anything, (except too many other people are just freaking idiots).My interpretation: So far ZERO participants have changed sides, or been convinced about anything, except that some participants have become convinced that other participants are just freaking idiots.If that interpretation is correct, obviously she was not "referring to us as 'freakin' idiots,'” as you stated in your response and as CJ1965 implied in his response.
