WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD?


I have seen loads of comments on cables and equipment that people have never heard. Why is that?

If I see cable priced 40,000 per meter pair (doesn't matter brand at all), I'll definitely comment, because usage of such cable is gonna be totally irrelevant to the comment, but the comment would be probably addressed to the buyer of such cables.

@everyone. I posted this because the ears should always be the judge. I’m not the one for a lot of technobabble. I honestly posted this because I see people posting all of these studies, graphs, charts and opinions about how we can’t hear differences and it’s confirmation bias and it just drives me nuts. How can you comment on something definitively that you have never listened to.  Then in addition to that I just think we are in this hobby to listen. Your ears should be your first judge. 

"I don’t know why, but posters pontunicating on cables that they have not heard infigouriates me"

 

Yeah, me too!

 

Measurements can be important. But musicality along with those are important.  I want ear pleasing sound above all else.  

I pretend it’s an omelet drenched in cheese, bacon and hash browns on the side.

Every once in a while I have to indulge. 

All the best,
