Irv, ****As for the rest of your post, it is completely analogous to the discussion of spirituality when discussing evolution**** We actually agree on something. But, the mistake that evolutionists make is believing that evolution precludes creationism. Clearly, this is not the place to have THAT debate, but I agree the analogy is there. You may find this to be interesting reading; even if, as I suspect, you will vehemently disagree. I think it illustrates aspects of this debate perfectly. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/31/opinion/31iht-edbrown.1.5943349.html |

So we are all the same, we all hear what we choose to believe. Believe you will hear differences, and you will hear differences. Believe that you will not hear differences, and you will not hear differences. Sort of, though you're turning up the contrast a bit much. I don't know about the "we're all the same" part. I think that expectations can play a significant role when the differences are subtle or . Of course, I understand that some of you believe these differences aren't subtle. |
Some people have more specific expectations than others. When you are listening for a very specific sound, you are more likely to note any differences. That alone might account for it. That and/or the fact that not all wires necessarily sound very different. There is not a whole lot of difference in design and concept behind many. |
if someone came from mars and read all of the posts, there would be only one conclusion:
the posters are a bunch of oc audiophiles.
i am not from mars so if the shoe fits....
one might think about the proposition:
why is there so much discussion and when will it end ?
a corollary would be: who cares whether cables are subject to hype or not ?
plenty of products have their qualities exaggerated and people accept it and don't obsess about it. |
