Most people saying such things don't actually want to move technology forward; they actually want to move it back and unlearn much of the knowledge gained in the past century. They then think they can restart from there and move forward again. Science doesn't work like that, except where it is shown conclusively that what we thought we knew is actually false.eriksquires said:For audio technology to go beyond where we have been we have to be looking for new measurements and ideas and for those to become more common.
In the case of speaker cables we do not know that accepted knowledge is false. On the contrary, there is excellent evidence that it is true. Listening tests confirm what electrical theory tells us: swapping one good (i.e. competent) speaker cable for another makes at most tiny changes to the sound which are entirely consistent with the small change in cable resistance causing a tiny change in frequency response.
Audio technology will move forward by solving problems, not coming up with half-baked 'solutions' to non-problems.
Now I don't understand.I accept your hypothesis, though your use of semantics is silly................
What do you mean, by "semantics"?
I accept your hypothesis, though your use of semantics is silly.
My point is, a simple experiment showed a difference to me.
I've already shown the fatal flaws in that alleged experiment with authoritative cites.
It did not show value.
The continuing faith that egregiously flawed little game that seems to be show some serious problems with accepting authority and other's people's work.
Here's the logic: If someone will not accept authority or the validity of other people's work, then doing their work for them as it were, is a big mistake.
I could not really run a double blind experiment, I ran out of eyes to blind, but it was enough for me.
Just another example of the results of not accepting authority or other people's work. There are several well-known ways to do DBTs all by yourself, and hundreds if not thousands of people practice them successfully.
If your hypothesis is true,
There is a ton of reliable evidence to back it up, but again you are being crushed by the burden of an apparent insistence on not accepting authority or other people's work.
then I wish we had a good way to express this to most people, as opposed to worshiping at the feet of cable makers for expensive tone controls.
Most cables are not expensive tone controls, they are placebos, pure and simple.
Alternatively, I wish I had a way of understanding WHY imaging changed. It could have been a case of serendipity, where a negative effect (the change in response caused by the cables) produced a desirable effect we could mimic, or even sell in a box.
Just another example of habitual lack of faith in established, validated authority. The grievous and inherent failings of your alleged experiment have been explained to you, but it appears that you are in denial.
