The problem with the citation of Einstein is Einstein didn't say it.
A challenge to the "measurement" camp
I’ve watched some of his video and I actually agree on some of what he said,
but he seems too confident on his insistence on measurement. For those
who expound on the merits of blind test and measurement, why not turn
the table upside down?
Why not do a blind test of measurement? That is I will supply all the measurement
you want, can you tell me which is a better product?
For example, if I have a set of cable, and a set of measurement for each
individual cable, can you tell me which is the best cable based on measurement
alone? I will supply all the measurement you want.
After all, that is what you’re after right? Objective result and not subjective
listening test.
Fast forward to 8:15 mark where he keeps ranting about listening test
without measurement.

By the way, is he getting paid by Belden? Because he keeps talking about it
and how well it measures. I've had some BlueJean cables and they can easily
bettered by some decent cables.

I dont know....But if not, it is so right observation that anybody with a brain would have been able to write it.... I will take it then.... :) I think that the author is Elliot Eisner i look on the internet.... But i dont know for sure.... I like it a lot.... I translate it: " map is not territory " Alfred Korzybsky... A smaller brain than Einstein perhaps but not an idiot .... :) |
OK quote by mahgister. There is a similar quote. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2010/05/26/everything-counts-einstein/ |
"I like technology when it works and it’s easy to use."That is why most of the people may be better off if cable designers dedicated their talent into designing better wireless than better marketed cables. A person I know had asked me if he should buy Sonos. I recommended it. He is in love with it. He thinks it sounds great, too. He did not have a spending limit. He would have not gone for an expensive cable, though. |
