The Absurdity of it All

^^^ When sitting close to a string section in a symphony orchestra, it is surprising how loud violins are.

When each doubling of output equals 3dB, 20 or so strings in an orchestra equals real acoustic power.

If your argument was ‘old people claim to still hear the highest frequencies’ you may have a point. But if you claim that a 70 year old audiophile with 40 or 50 years of experience in this hobby can’t make a judgement on cables anymore I have to disagree. A 65 year old golfer will know exactly if his new putter is any good because of his experience in using putters for over 40 or 50 years.

hilde45/perkri - "perkri, I really enjoyed reading your list of tweaks and the rationales for each of them! I'm still learning, so can you tell me how you listen to each tweak to determine what difference it's made and whether that tweak is working or not? Serious question because the only thing that will keep me from going down a rabbit hole is a process by which I can know (a) whether a tweak has done something and (b) the degree and character of it. Thank you."

hilde45, may I ask if you were referring to specific passages of specific tracks that perkri listens to in order to gauge difference or improvement with each change or tweak he makes? I ask because I have a similar request of perkri, if so : )

Once again, you missed the point. 

I didn't say that I lied about what something did in order to achieve this. I didn't present anything in a way that said something did something it actually didn't - I worked to convince people to get something they didn't need.

Big difference...

Take a minute, and think about what you are reading in stead of simply reacting to it
