The onus of proof is on those with wild ridiculous claims. You can’t expect intelligent folks to actually waste time debunking all the wacky audio theories expounded by yourself and others here. As it stands, there are more wacky theories per day here than could be disproved in ten life times.
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.

shadorne"The onus of proof is on those with wild ridiculous claims" I would agree to a point and given that the cable market for Music Reproduction Systems is sizeable and so many contributors to this forum have remarked about the various sonic improvements to be derived from such cables it would seem that the " wild ridiculous claims" would in truth emmanate from the very few people on this board who keep raising they're objections that these cables make any difference at all within properly functioning Music Reproduction Systems the "onus" would be on you. However on the other hand I think no one here is obligated to prove anything to anybody and that it would be best if we each expressed the results of our own first hand experiences with matters related to Music Reproduction Systems and not to demand from others that they do research for ourselves. However what is happening is that these few who claim it all sounds the same then ask the rest of us to proof they're case which makes no sense and then they call us delusional or snakeoil salesman! It is a crazy world here on Audiogon where we cannot discuss what we hear without being subjected to personal attacks and even some of the attackers here justify the in the name of "science." |
If it all sounded the same, we'd have stopped with Edison's phonograph. Reductio ad absurdum. The salient point is that everything interacts. To deny otherwise is counterintuitive. Some are more sensitive to some interactions than others. Some need to [and can afford to] drive the newest/flashiest/everything-est and others are content to just have really good sound. Soto voce: The problems here are "10,000 posters" who prattle on repeatedly with no substantiated examples or proof and those who steadfastly maintain "does not happen with my level of equipment" |
