Maybe someday there will be new models that will help reveal the secret of the sound and direction of the wires.

If these new models don't agree with your preconceptions and biases you'll dismiss them as well.
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
Douglas Self wrote a devastating article about audio anomalies back in 1988. With all the necessary knowledge and measuring tools, he did not detect any supposedly audible changes in the electrical signal. Self and his colleagues were sure that they had proved the absence of anomalies in audio, but over the past 30 years, audio anomalies have not disappeared anywhere, at the same time the authority of science in the field of audio has increasingly become questioned. It's hard to believe, but science still cannot clearly answer the question of what electricity is and what sound is! (see article by A.J.Essien).
For your information: to make sure that no potentially audible changes in the electrical signal occur when we apply any "audio magic" to our gear, no super equipment is needed. The smallest step-change in amplitude that can be detected by ear is about 0.3dB for a pure tone. In more realistic situations it is 0.5 to 1.0dB'". This is about a 10% change. (Harris J.D.). At medium volume, the voltage amplitude at the output of the amplifier is approximately 10 volts, which means that the smallest audible difference in sound will be noticeable when the output voltage changes to 1 volt. Such an error is impossible not to notice even using a conventional voltmeter, but Self and his colleagues performed much more accurate measurements, including ones made directly on the music signal using Baxandall subtraction technique - they found no error even at this highest level.
As a result, we are faced with an apparently unsolvable problem: those of us who do not hear the sound of wires, relying on the authority of scientists, claim that audio anomalies are BS. However, people who confidently perceive this component of sound are forced to make another, the only possible conclusion in this situation: the electrical and acoustic signals contain some additional signal(s) that are still unknown to science, and which we perceive with a certain sixth sense.
If there are no electrical changes in the signal, then there are no acoustic changes, respectively, hearing does not participate in the perception of anomalies. What other options can there be?
Regards.

I received an interesting email yesterday: Hello Anton! I don’t have Windows too, but I have a laptop with Linux and Wine that are used to run Windows programs under Linux. I installed the player and optimized some mp3 files. It definitely works! I would say that optimized files sound more airy and openly. It’s like you’re turning a wire in the right direction. This is very strange, I have never seen a computer program that makes a file sound more natural and it is free and easy to compare. After all this is the perfect example how two equal digital files can sound different. Specially for biased naysayers. |
This Junilabs player is interesting: The optimization is sensitive to the electromagnetic effects of the environment. Electromagnetic activity is lower at night than during the day. An optimization launched at night will be more effective than an optimization launched during the day.That's using Google translate, so we can't be sure what this means. |
@djones51 , My experience is based on what I can or can't hear. It doesn't based of religious believe in science. I talk about the model that have more correlation to what we hear than current models. Most of the audio religious apostles of science do not have any technical education and can't think out of box. If these dropouts design audio then it sounds disgusting so they are very bad engineers and don't like and know classical and jazz music. Regards, Alex. |
