Funniest snake oil theories

I follow you Max, but is it worth it to 'reason' with these others? '-)
Nobody can reason with those who are stuck in fixed beliefs and I am not interested in arguing with those...you encounter similar noise from the 'experts' who are only too willing to 'prove' that what you and I find are impossible/insignificant/etc.
I share my experience and findings in order that between us we can come up with explanation for deep underlying properties of systems that can be altered at will.
This is really interesting ;). Looking forward your new findings.
The fact of changeable digital files I find intensely interesting but is of secondary importance to me at this time.
As I have stated I am awaiting particular ingredients that I will incorporate into a mix that is certain to sound 'toxic' for purpose of demonstration of range of differences available.

You need to understand that the effect you are claiming cannot come from physics and information, and so must come from something supernatural/paranormal (or merely psychological).
Other persons readily hear the differences that I describe, so 'psychological' is not in the equation.
So what does 'supernatural/paranormal' mean....that which one observes but cannot explain is my understanding.

So let's have a poll and find out who has real experience as opposed to theoretical opinion.

Who here has experimented with ferrite split core filters applied to system power/signal/speaker cables and taken very close listen to the effects ?.

Who here has experimented with Bybee filters applied to system power/signal/speaker cables and taken very close listen to the effects ?.

Charles Hansen and others describe ferrite as damaging to sound reproduction, I fully agree.

Clearly you have not read about Clever Hans. And it hasn't sunk into you that many anecdotes do not make a single data point in proving that your glorp has any effect.

It could be 'psychological.' Mirror neurons, and lots of other possible reasons why multiple people could have the same or similar mental experiences having more to do with what's going on inside their brains as opposed to stuff going on outside.

All the more so if one chooses to consider paranormal and/or metaphysical explanations. No reason those things can't work inside if one believes they can work outside. No impenetrable barrier keeping them out.

You left out the obvious Dancing Dan. Max/Dan made a very telling remark the other day, as to how if he could just explain things in person to the nonbelievers, they would be in awe of his awesomeness. He clearly is in the habit of convincing people, even himself, that these things are true. He doesn't use data or consistent models or scientific method, he just uses his own performance. Sadly, or luckily, it doesn't work so well in this environment.

Hi Soongsc......Their attitude would likely change from one of derision, to one of true wonderment....and the realisation that what I am discussing has been right under their noses all their lives.
Mr Nezbleu, if you are to slander me would you please be accurate in your assertions, my comment is referring to wonderment of physics.
I believe apology is in order.
If you are unable to conduct discourse without becoming personal, please desist or just ignore this thread.
Right now there are a handful of guys in the warehouse prepping/packing down the next show and grooving to the now treated audio system.
Their preference is abundantly clear, and from this has come offer to run the experiment of treating the biggest club system in town.
This is set to be a fun blind trial on an unsuspecting audience, the results will be interesting.

Me. Zero effect when applied properly.

Who here has experimented with Bybee filters applied to system power/signal/speaker cables and taken very close listen to the effects ?.

Not me. I'm not THAT dumb.

For some time it was somewhat funny and even on-topic in this tread
when you presented yourself as a complete moron, but in the long run
it is getting offending when you constantly claim that you date the tooth
fairy on a daily base and that we should believe that.

Deliver your files or get lost.

I have, nothing but BS and devices that are a bad joke. Nieces and nephews shoving crap into a wood block. I tried it for weeks there is nothing there, it should be actionable but that's the way of the world.
 
He also posted in the ABX thread that he could easily hear the difference in files and a 10/10 wasn't a problem for him using his filtered stereo.

..... and never supported this claim neither by screenshot nor by a valid ABX protocol. Same as now with the files that will never be posted. They would lose their magic when transferred to the server. But the screenshot or txt protocol would not, despite that they were not posted. So, the conclusion is easy.
