A New Believer

I believe these folks really hear a difference. I also believe I don't. Quite frankly, I'm jealous as hell. I'm 52 and my hearing and eye sight just can't be as good as they used to be. I also enjoy single malt scotch, but for the life of me, I don't taste any of the fruits, herbs and spices some of the reviewers claim to taste. (They all taste different nuances in the same scotch by the way) I just enjoy it for what I get out of it. If I told you a beautiful sunset and a naked model in my lap made the scotch taste better, you wouldn't laugh at me, right?

I think some of the items we discuss on this board are like the sunset and model. Maybe the scotch doesn't taste better, but the experience is more enjoyable.

Don't leave the forum, you have a lot of support for your thoughts and questions, if not your technique.

The more questions you ask, the less answers I see and understand. This is science right? Where are the tests, what instrument do they use and what are the results??? These are fair questions. From what I read in this forum, "believers" are saying their ears hear a difference and there is no electrical instrument to measure the difference....or WHY there is a difference. Is it possible the human ear and brain notice a real difference that no electrical instrument has yet been invented to measure??? Fair question!!

Antipodes_audio's answer was complete bullshit in respect to your question, in my opinion.

Here's what I learned from this discussion....

There are people who have the ability to hear differences in "wire". Nobody really knows what physically happens within the wire to "improve" the sound. There is no instrument to measure the differences, if any.
