Two questions to make you mad.

#1 Why is it that the worlds most sophisticated and accurate machine the (ASML) TWINSCAN NXE:3600D doesn’t use special AC or signal cables to make 3nm semiconductors. Audiophiles need special cables for accuracy?

#2 Why is it that you can always tell when a piano is playing live, or even an electric guitar is playing live 2 houses away directly into an amp through walls and windows?

In the 1960s Electro Voice announced that their speakers could reproduce exactly accurate sounds, many believed them.

We are fooling ourselves, our hobby is full of lies and we can’t even face facts.

Um, maybe this is you but it's not me.

I have a stereo machine that plays music.

I  like it.

Issues which make me mad involve actual injustices -- not these.

Many people attending church claim that God is not really present "in the house" - that it's just a facsimile... but a reasonably good one.

#1 The Twinscan is just a really fancy printer and reproducing sound is a   
      completely different matter.

#2 It's because our ears can distinguish it. It's why I ultimately trust my ears and not
      just measurements.

#3 Much ado about nothing.

All the best,
Nonoise
