Audio Engineering Society and cables

Reading to figure out 2+2=4? 

Now if they got a paper on how to measure soundstage then maybe they got something interesting to read.

Thanks Chuck. Now I can’t get The Nile Song out of my head!

I though the the link might be ...even worse....

as for the cables. well that’s just ...not even on the page, not the table ...or even in the room.

life is one hell of a lot more complex and deep than this simple idea that cables OBVIOUSLY sound different. That cables sound different, doesn’t even make to the level of doggie doo to wipe off my shoe, in that it is a --done deal.

Real things that are complex and defy the mind of the linear thinker are easy to come by. Here’s one that is proven to be real that will drive most of the naysayers batty to the point that their heads spin off and they shake and spit blood everywhere. There’s a million real things that they can’t approach.

I’d feel bad for them... but due to their trying to kill and stab me left and right, my sympathy for their lack... withered and died a cold lonely death -decades ago.

Now I’m just indifferent to them and deal with them without changing the look on my face.

I really don’t have a problem pushing them off a cliff. Maybe they’ll learn something on the way down.

So I look at the whole ’cable debate’ and I think, when dealing with the nay sayers....’such a simple life, such a limited box of a life....they can’t even make it past these tiny little nothings...just a dangerous unpredictable fenced in animal life. Jebus.’

What’s it like to be so mentally small? I can’t imagine the horror.

Eg, the new and big flap with UFO's. well, with UFO's.. if gravity is a wash ...ie a done deal, then everything else comes along for the ride. A whole pile of stuff that really blows the lid off the nature of reality into areas that can break humans. big time. Start at the bottom. learn it all again.

To understand that the ufos over the capitol buildings were seen by tens of thousands and the flap over it was as big as JFK's death. Actually, news wise, it was Bigger than the ending of WWII.

Note how that event was virtually erased from the record.

And people worry and argue about whether a cable sound different or not. It does.

So get over yourself ...and move on to much more important things.

I really wish I could not hear a difference. It would definitely make life easier. How about if all food tasted the same? $50 cut of filet? Nope,it's ground possum for me! 

You guys might want to read the study before patting yourselves on the back.

4 CONCLUSIONS
High-end audio is a subject that is shrouded in controversy. Aside from loudspeakers, consumers exhibit varying degrees of skepticism as to what affects sonic performance. The most contentious ingredient in the chain is the interconnection between components, which concerns both the topology (balanced versus single-ended) and the characteristics of the cable itself. This work shows that two system configurations differing only by the interconnect pathway are audibly discernable, even by average listeners with no special experience in music or audio.
