Audio nonsense

@perkri

If you want to go into a pi...g contest about credentials, be my guest.

And yes I have built audio gear. I have worked with RF, which is at least a 1000 times more complex than building audio frequency gear. I am an electronics engineer, graduated from UMIST in the UK, who is now working as a senior software engineer at Broadcom. I have been in electronics, communications and software for the past 25 or so years.

The absolute drivel I hear in this forum even beats the quora politicians forum.

As I also previously stated in one of my very early posts, the only reason I continue to remain on it is because luckily, there are still some people here who know what they are talking about and are helpful.

"Once and for all. What you think you are hearing is NOT an improvement, it is simply NOT there. It is in your mind."

-Ahh, the expectation bias theory again, boldly touted by the "electronics engineer" measurement crowd. Can’t measure it therefore, not there, yawn.

"Interesting that out of hundreds of these gimmicky snake oil products, noone ever claims that it made the sound worse. Funny...."

-Actually, I have tried things, many times, that made the sound worse. Items including: power conditioners, room treatments, fuses, speaker cable, interconnects, cd treatments off the top of my head. Long term evaluation in your own system is the key, not a quick A/B comparison in yours or an unfamiliar system.

@cakyol , trying to convince these people that their audio memory last about 2 msec is fruitless. Neurophysiology is beyond their understanding. As a group they are sooo easy to take advantage of which is why there is so much garbage on the market. 

Thanx for staying on board in spite of this. There are thoughtful people here you can have an intelligent conversation with.

Speaking of intelligent, whatever happened to Millercarbon? Is he OK?

Well, with that background, you should have been educated in having an open mind. And yeah yeah, that’s great you have that as a background. Nowhere in your resume do you mention listening. That’s what we do, we listen to music. We don’t measure it with a slide rule. And that’s great that you’ve built gear, it’s important to get inside the machines that give us such joy. So, when you built this gear, did you try different quality components in different parts of the circuitry? To see what, if any difference there was in sonic presentation? Did you participate in open minded experimentation and exploration , or was it built like a Lego kit? 

Now, how many of the tweaks or modifications that you take such pleasure in dumping on, have you tried?
