The Science of Cables

It's bingo day at the seniors center.

Sadly, there's more intelligence there than here or the freshman class at almost any college in America.

The 'spiritualists' here remind of the BBE Sonic Maximizer from the early 80's. On poorly engineered program, it could be 'interesting'. On well recorded and mixed material with good sound stage presentation, it was a nauseating buck of mush.

Too often I have endured demos of 'discoveries' which do 'enhance' the sound, but only if one re-defines enhance: v. - intensify, increase, or further change the quality, value, or extent of a reproduction in a manner inconsistent with an original.

'Bandaids' to cover defects only ensure the production of more defects.

mkgus,

You have walked in to a church and questioned God’s existence.

Good luck.

To be sure, I have nothing against science and development - I’m all for it.
The fact is - nearly every facet of the music industry, from the performance, to the studio and into home, is going wireless.
Nearly all new forms of communication and dash control, is going wireless.
Even in the redundant safeguard, back up control systems (where wire and cables are used) in every industry, from the military, to the aviation industry, to the air-space industry - relies on wires and cables, for controls and communication, meeting long used and proven standards - none of which cost $1000.00 pr. foot.
Only in the audio industry, is anyone gullible enough to fall for the wild claims and ridiculous prices of wires and cables selling upward and over $1000.00 per foot.

For many years I worked for one worlds largest manufacture of everything from wires and cables, to industrial switch gear, to the worlds most sophisticated control systems, so I have a pretty good idea of what’s out there, how it works and what it should cost...Jim

It's not all audiophiles.  It's mainly the category of audiophiles who fully trust their subjective experience as the primary source of truth.  When you live in that paradigm, "anything is possible" which is why such an extraordinary range of phenomena come to be believed in that paradigm  (It's the same paradigm that ratifies every religion, cult, pseudo-science, etc - note how Flat Earthers constantly talk about "believing what your senses tell you about the world even if some stuffy scientist disagrees!"  Sound a bit familiar?).
