That’s a bit of a Strawman argument regarding audiophiles and friends describing prof’s sound as “so real it’s spooky” since, uh, you know, most audiophiles are not good judges of what’s real and what’s not. Oh, did I just question another person’s hearing ability? My bad. That Strawman argument is closely related to another common naysayer argument, “My engineer friends laughed so hard when I told them about audiophile power cords milk squirted out of their noses.” Everything is relative. One man’s spooky is another man’s ho, hum. No offense to anyone, as usual.
Is it all in my head??
So I bought a Kimber Power Kord... yeah, yeah, but it looks prettier than stock, is well built, and having built all my cables myself I appreciated the craftsmanship.
...so, I'm playing an Everest LP--symphony stuff.. and it always sounded noisy and muffled (which is why i decided to give it a spin). The power cable is plugged into my furman conditioner, and all the other cables are the same. I swear this LP sounds more "untangled" now (that's the best way i can describe it).
I am an engineer and know intellectually this makes zero sense--is it some confirmation bias? How can it be.. i didnt buy it expecting a sonic impact, i bought it because i couldn't make one that looks as cool (think of it as a necklace for my rig). But I swear I think i hear a difference... tell me it's all in my head.
