Underwood HiFi Cables
Before Equi=Core was bought out by Underwood, they were selling power cords that were revealed to be straight re-brands from China, available on Amazon. Back in the day, someone pointed it out in one of the threads about the company and the the...

What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
Nada. Audio signals are AC. Another low poster trying to sound smart. 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
Of course, this is crazy, but who here says otherwise? The smallest step-change in amplitude that can be detected by ear is about 0.3dB for a pure tone. In more realistic situations it is 0.5 to 1.0dB'"

It doesn’t matter what seems different to you, it only matters what the computer understands the same.I think your understanding of what is "the same" and what is "different" is too simplistic.  You're showing off of your "computer skills" seems a... 
Lack of popularity of Chord???

What are your opinions of Sim Audio amplifiers?
It's not just Sim though, lots of manufacturers have engaged in rampant price escalation over the years. Yes, I notice that too.  High end audio gears price have been going up at rate that seems a little unreasonable.If you look inside some of...

B = A because they have the same checksum4+7 = 3+8?  Don't look the same to me.

First of all you need to calm down.OK. Imagine that we have an original file (A), an optimized file (B) that is PHYSICALLY identical to A, and an ordinary digital copy of the file (C) that is PHYSICALLY identical to A, all located on the same ...
