Two questions to make you mad.

Of course the reason I mentioned the ASML machine that sells for 300M$ that makes 3nm chips is because it is the most accurate machine mankind has ever made (not including the LHC), The LHC uses super conductive cables so they are in a different class. The ASML machine uses cables that many of us would not accept for our audio playback systems on the grounds that the fancy cables we buy are more accurate than regular cables without 10 kinds of shrink-wrap and cool little wooden emblems on them. If the ASML machine doesn't need fancy cables then why do we? Audio works at very slow and very long wavelengths, cables are easy at our wavelengths. If your stereo costs 300M$ would you demand 80k$/Meter cables you would probably say yes but you would have no reason other than people saying it sounds better. The limit of engineering now is 3nm accuracy and that machine doesn't include 80k$ cables. The ASML machine is literally the definition of accuracy and somehow we demand more accurate signal cables than it does, one of the groups is wrong the audiophiles or the semiconductor industry. 

....this and those questions made me So Mad I could almost fall aslee.....

@donavabdear , you ought to bore your guitar buddy about the Deads' "Wall of Sound", and what it consisted of....

Not that it'll change his blind or rock his whirl'd, but at least he can be intelligently clueless about the things he can play with....😏

Btw, a monied dilettante has cretined a reduced version of the WoS.....appeared to be 'bout 10' tall x 20 odd ft. wide.....😍

Just in time for the holidays

Thanks for your note, I had a feeling you'd have some interesting thoughts. I think A I will change everything in sound one of the interesting things that will change soon will be the meaningless ideas that we pay so much for today that will be totally missing from future systems. A I won't understand fluff or aesthetics or marketing hype. A I may finally give the end user a standard for acoustics then after that we can modify the sound to suit our taste. A I will need quantum computers to really change things but that is just around the corner as well.

There's a basic lack of understanding here about guitar amps, and I'm too lazy to address it. However, I generally plug my TWINSCAN NXE:3600D into a wall socket and let it rip...it still doesn't sound very good but...meh...I understand psycho acoustics as the sound reflected off of a shower stall as recorded by Alfred Hitchcock.

I can stand on the streets of Savannah and listen to live musicians and imagine that I am in front of my stereo. I can sit in front of my stereo and imagine that I am at a live concert. I think it is all due to my special cables- or I’m too old and decrepit to no longer know the difference...

Thomas Edison started marketing his new phonograph in 1916 by having a live singer stand next to his phonograph on stage. He would task the audience with guessing if the singing was live or the recording. (No mention if he used special cables.) Over a hundred years later and we are still trying to find that magic.
