What are we objectivists missing?


I have been following (with much amusement) various threads about cables and tweaks where some claim "game changing improvements" and other claim "no difference".  My take is that if you can hear a difference, there must be some difference.  If a device or cable or whatever measures exactly the same it should sound exactly the same.  So what are your opinions on what those differences might be and what are we NOT measuring that would define those differences?

As far as cables go, I’ve never seen a graph of inductance, capacitance, impedance and the resulting phase shift and amplitude for a complete range of frequencies, input voltages and current draw.  So, as a consumer, how do I objectively compare cables?  

The next person that can show by measurements how a power cord can affect the sound of an amp can qualify for the Nobel Prize in Physics. Until then the cheap stuff is good enough for me!

I just completed the work on a device that measures sound quality. I call it the SQascope. Send me your money, lots of it, and I’ll send one with directions to you in a plain brown wrapper and you can measure all your cables and the cables of your friends and neighbors. It’s exactly what you, as an objectivist, is missing.

 

A little silly question. We do whatever we like, the way we like. You do you, I do me. Simple. What’s the fuss.

One thing that objectivists are NOT missing is protesting. Too much protestations in the cyber space for some unexplainable reason. I always wondered why.
