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.

i concur with this short answer...

Anyway mine would have been too long and boring to read ... 😊

#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,

Why wolf chases rabbit?

Because wolf is hungry and wants to eat. That's why.

 

Good questions. And I’m hardly even fuming… ;-)

1. We need good cables because they make a difference. Anyone that is skeptical of this should try and small number of different cables and see which they prefer. Viola, you’ll know there’s difference whether you can explain it empirically or not. So pick the ones that sound best to you.

2. I don’t expect my 2 channel system to play as if it were live music because that’s just not possible. It is not live. It will never be. Although it may sound very, very good and provide a lot of enjoyment to the listeners. A painting of pipe is not a pipe.
