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.

You'll have to try harder if your intentions are to make us mad.

I was going to suggest that if you are seeking the true sound of a piano, you should simply buy one but I see you already have one, so maybe you should just enjoy your music.

I am of the same opinion as you...

But there is also a price to pay for A.I. domination as tool becoming more than a tool...

We will see soon ...

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.

Question one: 🍎 and  🚗.  Not even close.

Question two: 🍎 and 🍅. Do you want your rig to sound like you are sitting outside the venue?
