The Absurdity of it All


50-60-70 year old ears stating with certainty that what they hear is proof positive of the efficacy of analog, uber-cables, tweaks...name your favorite latest and greatest audio "advancement." How many rock concerts under the bridge? Did we ever wear ear protection with our chain saws? Believe what you will, but hearing degrades with age and use and abuse. To pontificate authority while relying on damaged goods is akin to the 65 year old golfer believing his new $300 putter is going to improve his game. And his game MAY get better, but it is the belief that matters. Everything matters, but the brain matters the most.

Who said anything about price? A crappy system can cost a little or a lot. Learn to read before you spout. If you can’t hear improvements between one interconnect and another, or between tubes, or power cables, I suspect that you lack the capacity to comment credibly. And dletch2, the word is "write". Illiteracy may also play a part.

It’s obvious that you don’t understand the context of what you wrote...in this here forum and thread. So yeah....literacy matters.
Seriously? I am 60. Yup always used earplugs with chainsaws or gas blowers (but better to pay someone else wearing earplugs/protection to do it). Always wear earplugs riding motorcycles, racing motorcycles. But webt to a lot of rock concerts all my life before COVID and right, never wore them. But my bearing's been tested and it's still quite good. It's just like not smoking, or wearing a helmet, or any other prophylaxis, makes you healthier longer.

I don't understand the context of what I wrote? Do you even know the appropriate application of the word "context"? "In this here forum and thread" as you put it- like a hillbilly.
