The Science of Cables

Speaking of evidence based research and academic rigour would be nice if you could provide a link to the study that your assertions made above are based on. Thanks in advance. |
If this keeps up it may be time for another straightened coat hanger v mystery X ($$$$$) cable blind listening test. So far all the conclusions point to a lack of consensus with the only regular perceived sonic differences being in the listener's own head. And even then, not consistently. One day A might be better, the next B, and so on and so on. All cables claiming to be better than basic OFC simply must be sold with a money back guarantee. Especially when there isn't a shred of scientific evidence to support this claim. Even the sellers dare not say why and how their cables are better, instead they merely suggest it to avoid any potentially ruinous legal challenges. If they are obviously better sonically then surely there's no need for dealers to take the money and run, is there? Apart from charity on the behalf of the consumer of course. |
@taras22 IF it’s not simple, just exactly what wire properties other than LCR affect response? @teo_audio the tests were done on excised tissue and "it remains to be seen whether these findings are relevant in the normal inner ear of living animals." A single photon is detectable but it conveys no information. @bsmg Cables carry the signal which is ultimately detected by the ears. Ears, err I mean listeners, can be trained. Manufacturers make all manner of claims. When trained listeners hear no difference, the purveyors claim inadequate biological capabilities. Fanboys poo-poo blind tests trained listeners pass with aplomb. From start to finish, music recording and reproduction is a series of equalizers. Expecting 2m of balonium will undo everything that preceded it is utter folly. Expecting 2m of balonium will improve all systems is an even larger load. |
