| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? >>Since that thread has since been deleted ( hmmmm... wonder why??? )<<Well, if you think you posted a lot of scientifically valid, educational stuff and they deleted it, I don't blame you for wondering why. On the other hand, you post... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? >>the scientific response should be that since existing electrical testing methodology has only shown minor differences,and that A/B/X testing has not determined anything sufficient, that there must be some other testing methodology found to... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? >>Nevertheless, that doesn't mean timing is not an issue where differences in cables are concerned.<<But, it also doesn't mean that it is an issue, either. Most of these "issues" -- like the myth about "roll-off" are passed around like... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? You'll have a far easier time discovering timing problems in your speakers and in your room than in your cables. | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? 12 gauge zip cord -- frequency response: Minimum is 26.8dB at 20kHz and maximum is 26.93dB -- a total deviation of 0.13dB. The HF rolloff between 10kHz and 20kHz is 0.1dB.http://sound.westhost.com/cable-z.htmTable 4: Frequency Response Comparison ... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? >>scientifically derived claims that i made<<It would be more accurate to say that Zip Cord is down .1 db at 20 Khz.Like I said -- it is doubtful that this is audible.It is even less scientific to make further extrapolations such as th... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? >>In case you can't remember, you weren't able to refute any of the scientifically derived claims that i made in that thread.<<ROFL. Yeah, that's the ticket. I recall you claiming that when people disagree with you it actually confirms... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? .CROWD:Burn her! Burn! Burn her!...BEDEVERE:Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.VILLAGER #1:What are they?CROWD:Tell us! Tell us!...BEDEVERE:Tell me. What do you do with witches?CROWD:Burn them! BEDEVERE:An... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? If someone wants to prove he/she can hear the difference between two power cords, the answer isn't to administer a test to the non-believer under the flawed premise that if the non-believer is honest, he/she will admit to hearing differences. The ... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? >>Nordost lacks warmth and tends to accent the upper midrange and treble region, making it just the opposite of heavy gauge zip cord.<<Again, if Nordost accents the upper midrage and treble region, this should be easy to measure and qu... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? >>zip cord tends to roll-off the top end<<LOL. If you call rolling off dipping at 20Khz by an amount that is most likely inaudible. It is a joke to call that "coloration." This is misleading, incomplete information. Give the real numbe... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? >>I guess you could say that's niiave>>I could...if only I could pronounce niiave.Kidding.I don't think it is naive to pick one's gear based on sound rather than reputation. I don't think anyone argued otherwise. Not even sure how this... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? Being without skepticism does not render one Edison. That's a flawed argument. I don't mean to be ugly, but you posted your family squabble on a public site and asked for feedback. I'm just telling you that it seems your brother has gotten under y... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? So, you think your brother is ignorant -- and condescending -- because he doesn't hear what you claim to hear and he probably thinks you are deluded -- and probably questions how you can say you don't care if you have no explanation for why two po... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? It has also been proven that people imagine differences that are not really there at all. John Dunlavy used to do an experiment where he would gather audiophiles in his lab, position a technician behind a set of speakers, change speaker cables and... |
