Good for you! What works in pharma stays in pharma. Don’t contaminate audio with your junk science. I like your hat.
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
Yes they do. I’m not here to advocate for any particular brand but I’ve heard a lot and they do matter. High Fidelity reveal cables, Kubala Sosna Elation and Clarity Cable Natural. I’m having a listening session where all of them is doing a great job. I’ve had cables that were cheaper in my system but a nicely priced cable that matches your system is a must. I’m not here to argue what I’m not hearing because I have a pretty good ear. I’m enjoying these three brands today and each is presenting the music differently but very nicely. Those who say cables don’t matter. Get your ears checked. I have a system that’s worth about 30 to 35k retail. Now all of these brands are above 1k and up but they really are performing! What are your thoughts.

unreceivedogma, Yes blind testing is used all over the place, including in physics. It’s even used by orchestras in auditioning players, to remove things like gender bias: https://www.theguardian.com/women-in-leadership/2013/oct/14/blind-auditions-orchestras-gender-bias But of course, blind testing and science just can’t apply to the mysterious realm of high end audio. It’s Just So Different you see! People can make all the inferences they want in high end audio and magically avoid bias. (Even though, of course, bias can be shown...but don’t let facts get in our way...) |
prof - sorry to say you still don’t get it. Nobody is saying there’s no such thing as bias or other psychological effects. What I’m saying it’s not easy to prove or disprove anything in audio. Nobody promised you a rose garden. What you still don’t get is that negative results of a blind test don’t mean anything. All I can do is keep repeating my mantra until it seeps through that thick membrane surrounding your brain. All this other pharma blind testing and blind tests used for physics is stuff you made up or irrelevant. What lengths will determined pseudo skeptics go to try to prove that cables don’t matter or that directionality doesn’t matter or that fuses don’t matter? Well, we’re seeing what lengths they’re go, right here, ladies and germs. You can take all the Crusader Rabbits and line them up and they won’t prove anything. 🐇 🐇 🐇 🐇 🐇 Let me put it a different way. If YOU performed a blind test yourself and reported negative results I would throw your results in the circular file. Capish? 😛. Why is it that pseudo skeptics and die hard naysayers never perform testing themselves? Just a lotta, “Betcha can’t pass a blind test.” What are they afraid of? 😳 |
