Send in the Clowns

The clowns will keep making the content when there are so many clowns applauding it and clicking the like button. As the comments state above, they feed each other with it. 

Similarly, a few days ago I mistakingly noticed and partially watched a youtube video titled "9000 dollar speaker cable against 14 dollar speaker cable". I was curious. Not surprisingly after watching about 30 seconds of it I could see the conclusion was there was going to be no difference. Talk about bias. The clown said he would connect one speaker cable into a $10 dollar switch, then from the switch into another set of DIY speaker cables, then into a mono speaker. He said the additional 2 foot piece of cable he made was a quality cable, and therefore should make no difference. What an idiot. 

Of course there were over 900 comments stating the usual "fools and their money" "all cable is the same" comments. Why even bother posting a logical comment to the flat-earthers- they are not only deaf but blind to common sense. 

If it measures good and sounds bad, it is bad; if it measures bad and sounds good, you've measured the wrong thing.

This statement should preface every thread on every audio forum on the internet. 

Unfortunately I had a severe dose of Covid last year and lost my sense of smell.,
now all wine does largely taste the same to me.

Sorry to hear that @laoman , that sucks. They called it covid 19 and 6 years later it is still around. We know someone who got long covid and she was unable to work, luckily she had good benefits from the employer and the family was not destitute. 

Hopefully for audiophiles there isn't a new virus in the future which attacks people's sense of hearing the same way covid can attack sense of taste and smell. And hopefully those senses become restored for you.
