audio-kraut said:Humans are able to distinguish voices and even retain memory as to which voice belongs to whom, that's what happens when you evolve as a social animal.
To by memory distinguish between sonic differences of equipment - I like that claim to be shown valid.
Bragging doesn't count, evidence does.
Perhaps that's what happen when you evolve as a sonic animal. 😀
tinitus said:First I tried my favourite left-right test
Only changed cable in left channel
Soundstage collapsed completely
Almost as if right speaker wasnt playing
Obviously one is better than the other
That is quite an interesting test, for the soundstage to collapse completely, there must be some real differences. (Unless it was expectation bias, you must do a DBT. 😀 )

Sorry Key, I meant to say "just play a good recording of unamplified acoustic instruments and decide if it sound similar to the real instrument".
A few days ago I bought a pair of small popular speakers for my daughter measuring some 30cm tall.I asked my brain if I could expect some bass and he said yes.When I set up the system the bass was "unexpectedly"weak.But you told me to expect some bass I said.And my brain simply replied "I lied"

That's very funny, I had an image of Homer. I do like his brain conversations. They should do a skit about Homer being sucked into the Hi End. 😀
It would be great.Imagine Homer with an LCR meter.He would look very......seasonable...hahaha
All that's needed is to point the producers of Simpson's to this thread, and they got a 183 page manuscript right away.

Sorry to dissapoint you,but I very much doubt that.It will take a lot more than that,believe me.
Key said:........ I think if designers and engineers would just stop futzing with the sound I would be happy.
Same here. Blame youth and computers methinks. Any effect is now just a click away and as many as you like. Same thing in video I have hundreds of transitions and clip effects when really 99% of the time you only need a cut, and a dissolve or wipe to tell a story that will make people laugh or cry. As soon as a new effect is invented it is flogged to death until people tire of it.
But I shouldn't put down the young as they do amaze me when they come up with something totally out of left field. Who would have ever thought of using a turntable as a musical instrument (as in scratching) And on top of that some bright spark thought why not replace the music record with a record that was pressed with only 'time code'. Then hook this up to a computer containing thousands of songs, and use the turntable now as a human interface to control the computer. Then you can hook up a monitor and see the analog waveform of the music before and after where the stylus is sitting in the groove. I think that is pretty cool. OT sorry.

Correct me if you can find anything but anecdotes, humor, or speculation in this thread?

Panicos K. I am still chuckling over your, "unexpectedly" weak.

Problem is how we connect Homer in all this.What if he turns out to be an audiophile,and claims that his lyra sounds better with steel wires

Then he fits right in.

No no,who cares about reviews.It was my brain I was testing not any reviewer, and the son........ is a liar.Next time though I will read a review before I buy,hahha Can anyone recommend a not serious magazine please?
Fredex,how do you know about reviews?Are you by any chance a "cryptohifimagazine" fan?😀
Andre Visser said:Tonal differences can be detected right through the audio spectrum, depending on what cables are used, then there are still things like detail and focus that have little or no relevance whether you can hear to 15kHz or to 20Khz.
I am becoming more and more worried about your system Andre. 😀

Hey, you got all you need for that right here 😀
On second thought, maybe this thread is not really good for a comedy, as it borders to a tragedy.
Sorry, you gotta make up a comedy yourself.
