Confucius say for success in school or any enterprise in life man must live like monk.
Gene in that video supposedly reviews audio products, but a high percentage of his videos are about cables. It’s obvious he is biased, and even he himself tried to tell me that I did not hear what I heard in a demo at a dealer. I told him don’t take me for a fool and I won’t take him for one. Every point the cult on his videos made, I dissproved until their last response was that with time switching between cables, the ear can’t remember what it heard within that time. So I asked how does gene then make comparisons between products that he heard weeks , months, or years ago, or does this theory on,y apply to cables when it benefits their argument. Lol. They’re so desperate to debunk this, it’s like their whole world will explode if you blow up their reality bubble. Danny Ritchie posted a video a video in the subject and of course they blew it off. I posted a video showing actual measurements as they’re always talking about, and dead silence since. Seems gene doesn’t know how to do measurements? Maybe only when he can figure out how to use them to “prove” his ideas. And never any videoed showing actual listening, though I wouldn’t trust them to do an unbiased test based on what I’ve seen
+1 Excellent point. Human memory in including audio memory is long-lasting. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to remember the words to songs or the music or the dialog from movies. You might even say human beings are the sum total of their memories. Knowledge can be defined as what’s left over after you subtract out everything you forgot from school. 
The memory of many aspect of sound is short term... For example the complex and subtle change in colors and timbre between 2 cables....A melody is long term memory because the sound pattern is linked to kinesthesic association and pre-defined or pre-experienced emotional responses...

If i can judge some variations in changes about a piece of electronic components in an audio system, the cause is the memory of my related emotional response to the sound pattern which is long term memory... After a few seconds nobody remember the exact pattern of some complex composite sound but everybody can learn to retrieve his emotional response imprinted in the brain-body....

This is linked to the fact that hearing sound is quantified in hertz and is an ability that decline with age, but listening ability increase with age and are linked to the process of retrieving the emotional response associated with the wished for sound pattern, this emotional response is imprinted in the body -brain memory and available in the long term...

This is only my own experience....
This does not go well tough with the simplistic argument of objectivist that deny the hability to remember a past sound experience....  Any audiophile can learn to recognize the emotional response imprinted in his brain-body and associated with a past positive or negative sound experience....

My point is only there to touch the complexity of this subject, i dont pretend to explain anything, only to pointed to the complexity of the matter....
Somebody needs to eat more fish 🐟 🐠🐟 “Complex“ is what they wrote on the bathroom walls at NASA. 😀
