I don't believe cables make a difference, any input?

Don't believe or disbelieve, just try. Your audio system may make a difference or not and you may be able to hear it or not. The discussion is useless.

AMEN Pavel. Either you experience a difference or you do not. Bottom line. Science can not tell anyone that they can or can not hear and understand anything. They do try and I commend them for it, but still too much is not defined or understood to make blanket statements against either side.

Just try it and then you will have an experience, one way or the other. Pretty simple.

NO!! NOT amen pavel, NOT well done curly.

HAVE YOU NO INTEGRITY???

At least have a bit of intellectual honesty. STOP being a salesman living off cable sales (the most profitable part of audio for all no?)

The last few pages have been about finding out how little YOU know about the issues at hand curly.

So your 'amen' is completely deceptive and hypocritical.

The statement should be along the lines 'test them at home, take care to not know the identity and level match, THEN make your decision'.

Enough curly, I don't think you have a right to continue posting.

"I hear it I hear it I hear it'' is not a compelling argument.

can we have an intelligence test applied to posts SY?
 
No, I don't read books that tell me what is possible. Of course it is true that I am aware of the arguments, but unlike you I did do a test and found out for myself and formed my own opinion on that data based on personal experience.

It would make salesman of hi end gear with twenty years experience cry, let me tell you. Even I was shocked, and I expected them to sound very close indeed.

Surely by now you have gathered from my posts that I love to test things??

Your response was great. let's keep it going yeah?

Give me an inkling into why you accept that your eyes can be fooled (magic tricks etc) but not your ears??

Maybe you accept that your ears CAN be fooled, but not in this case due to the way you audition gear?? is that it? (long listening then change back etc etc, yes I do read what you write)

See, if you are so sure that knowledge of the cable identity has NO bearing on your perception, then logically the reverse is also true, that NOT knowing should not alter the outcome.

So why are you so against it?

Look Terry. I have been in this business for a long time. I have done everything that I could possibly do to prove to myself that I indeed do hear differences between different components, not just cables. I have been on listening panels where each person made notes about what they heard and at the end everyone compared their findings. No not everyone heard the exact same things in the exact same ways, but there were some pretty eye opening similarities when all were compared about what was heard. Things like tonal balance, image depth, height and width differences that correlated very closely too I might add. Some did hear things like slight aberrations in a specific region (Bass, Midrange, Treble) that others did not notice, but the findings were quite impressive I and others thought that attended.
Show me what listening tests that you might have conducted or been a part of that you stand so proudly behind.
 
aaaaah, now I see what terry means. "Coherent" and "argument" are mutually exclusive terms for you are they curly?

The futility of this parallel arguing beggars belief. Its fascinating to watch from the outside, but it also completely blows me away that both sides are so determined to be right, they cannot see they are arguing two different things! To then see them claiming moral and intellectual superiority is a complete mindf&ck!

Hey guys - get some agreement on what you are discussing so you don't end up looking like complete noodle dicks...

I only twigged myself a day or two ago that curly had no idea of what we were discussing. I pushed him a little, simply because I really wanted to know what he knew.

John curl even covered his back, warned him it was a trap (no, I was genuinely curious) but poor old curly did not even know enough to know how little he knew!

And, as you will have seen, he has gone back to 'I hear it I hear it' and 'I am an expert in audio perception.'

Read the intro to the idiot american I linked to. seems pretty relevant.

When the Kmer Rouge was in charge in Cambodia, they shot on sight anyone wearing glasses. Wearing glasses means you can read, which means you are an intellectual, which means, obviously, you are an enemy of the people.

So when you said that you haven't and won't do any controlled subjective testing, you were lying? Or when you said that you've done everything you could possibly do, you were lying? Which?

Within the realm that I believe that a valid result would come of the testing. I am sorry Sy, DBT's are not my idea of a perfect manner to determine anything. Too many pitfalls. But you already knew that didn't you 😉

You expertise in this field is amazing to you 😎

I did not need to be warned. I have been down this road many times before. When you have some valid proof to support your stance please feel free to provide for the edification of us all. So far you have only being a talking head with no original thoughts of your own. There is no imperical data that can determine what any human being is or is not capable of hearing. Only opinions, such as yours.

Terry,are you refering to cable test?

It was a bit more than just a cable test panikos...I detailed it a year ago I spose.

stop talking gibberish. If there is no data capable of determining what a human is capable of hearing, why do you keep saying science should keep investigating?

Because, per you, there is no data capable of...oh forget it. I doubt you have the intellectual capacity to follow.

Because some of us would like to further the quality of hi-fi as it is today for one reason. If I have one brain cell left, I have lapped you my friend 🙂
