Modern PSU cables are detachable these days - what a chance. Of course the fixed ones would be no market opportunity, those who buy hand-made silver sata cables have no knowledge and equipment to solder new wires to their existing PSUs. Cables from the MB to case controls (leds, power switch) - they do not carry any signals, but who cares. Silver is silver, and the X threatens. Fan wires - PWM control, ideal candidates. But bad luck, they are soldered too. Perhaps you could sell complete fans with silver wires. And the fan coils could be silver wound too. And that's it, no more interconnects in modern PCs. No more opportunities for bussiness to rich clueless audiophiles. But you will certainly come up with something new, creative, not from the dark ages. |

"Say you add enough error correction such that on average only one error every year passes all the correction, isn't that negligible? "
factor X has nothing to do with "errors" the zero's and ones's do not need correction because of this "X" "X"is independent of the digital world and completely "neglected" by digital hardware. ONLY when somewhere digital is converted to analogue it "pops" up. It will always pop up in some degree as it can never be zero in praxis if bit perfect is bit perfect how can mac sound different then windows going to the same dac and stereo setup behind it? Why does windows on a separate hdd ( USB/SATA converter enclosure) with LINEAR but good power sound triple better than windows insde the PC with default power? Add to that all music files on a similar separate enclosure with clean power and then you realize the PC may reach or surpass a high end turntable and MC given a superb software player not JRiver or Foobar |

Yes, that method lacks the velvet.

This is no research, but a heap of nonsenses. Seasoned researchers would not even reply to this thread. There is a rule in research - always verify your findings, your observations - be it inductive or deductive. How did you verify the audible impact of sata cables (or generally silved PC interconnects)?

Given that the proponents of this ordure are now using a link to the writings of someone publicly declaring himself to be "a philosophy professor with an interest in experimental methodology, especially in psychology and psychiatry"
may I make this suggestion: |

I give monthly lectures on methodology of research at the university. Philosophy of science and methodology is one of the courses that I teach. What you really do not comprehend is that your thinking is in "defense mode"
For some reason "silver sata cables" attacks your rationality. Test the cable you will find a perfect but silver sata cable. And there positivist science stops what you and those who think like you so desperately try to extend. A/B blind listening tests in the subjective domain of listening is a hoax. Conclusions can only roughly made as yr ears hoe perfect they are and way beyond any mechanical sensitivity are also linked to the one who interprets his hearing. Only that as a combination, can be "blind tested" Eskimo's are well known to distinct and therefore able to see more than 30 kinds of snow. Put yourself next to an average Eskimo in Greenland in a very snowy landscape and another person will do an A/B test between you and that Eskimo of how many kinds of snow really can be perceived. And take all yr Czech friends with you and let them join the test.. Poor Eskimo, he must be a clever salesmen trying with a beautiful clever marketing pitch to persuade you to accept his findings as he is the only "fool" who claim to see so much. What is true for the eye is also true for the other 4 senses. Simon B ah ya I began some posts ago what is there to say to the blind and deaf? So I will not react to you anymore |

And this factor X can of course not be measured and is always present? Lets redo what i proposed before: But after you read the music files from the hard drives you print out the bits, write them down on a paper then let one of your friends input them back into the computer and then send them to the DAC. (sure it's impractical with so much information but lets ignore that in this case) Do you seriously still mean that a mythical factor X which is purely analogue is still present and affected by this silver SATA cable even though all the bits are correct and the path has been decoupled by a human in between? |
