Oh and cleeds, elizabeth, geoff, et al, I give you my permission - although not my blessing - to spend as much as you like on expensive cables, if you're among those who "feel the need" to. :)
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.

gdhal It's obvious - to me anyway - you haven't understood my previous posts in this regard ...Please feel free to correct me. My understanding is that you've proposed testing the audibility of wire directionality, but whenever anyone expresses interest in such a test, you direct the conversation offline. What part of that do I have wrong? |
Just as there was something wrong with the programming of the HAL 9000 computer, you could say it’s a glitch and I won’t mention exactly whose avatar HAL 9000 is.....Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do, I’m half crazy all for the love of you....🎼 🤡 https://www.vintagecomputermusic.com/mp3/s2t9_Computer_Speech_Demonstration.mp3 |
cleeds - Please feel free to correct me. My understanding is that you've proposed testing the audibility of wire directionality, but whenever anyone expresses interest in such a test, you direct the conversation offline. What part of that do I have wrong? The part you have wrong is that I'm *NOT* proposing testing the audibility of wire directionality. I'm proposing *YOUR ABILITY TO HEAR IT* with the naked ear using mutually agreed objective testing. You know, like Amy and Bob. "Hearing" is something that can only be accomplished offline, true? Consider yourself "corrected". |
geoffkait - Just as there was something wrong with the programming of the HAL 9000 computer.....Point well taken Geoff. And yes, the avatar is that of the HAL 9000. I never said, implied, or wrote there isn't anything "wrong" with me though. In fact, if you search the forum, you can easily find that I've stated "I’m proud to be in the minority". But among the things I know are "right", are the inability for humans to do the impossible. And the impossible includes hearing a difference when ordinary speaker wire is reversed. |
