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

It's possible at a minimum one of you had imperfect hearing that day. When suffering from a cold I can pop an ear and realign the centre double that distance. You learn these pitfalls. That or perhaps a boundary reflection was interacting with a difference between your two off-axis perceptions, which I'ld still call a set up issue. I generally use '40s and '50s jazz for this aspect of tuning, much less labourious than tones. 🙂
Beyond that your talking about an absolute. Changes are differential by.... definition. You and your friend might disagree on the exact position of centre but did you disagree if that image moved left or right? Presumably you heard it shift in the same direction required to make it right for them? So if a component makes an audible change the direction and magnitude are arguably more important than the starting point.

Heaps of possible things rdf, the only simple point I wanted to make is we hear differently. A rather obvious point, but it seemed appropriate with (for example) andre recently trying to get others to understand what he hears. Very hard to do with words, made harder that we do not hear the same anyway.

Surely the 10 000 post mark cannot be an absolute? I mean you gave us that remaining number of posts to talk about the topic (whatever that figure was), so like a football match surely we need to have added posts...all the posts in the thread that talk about your post are OT, so need to be added back in.

We are at least back up to 10 013??
 
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

This suggests any threads on cables are forbidden from now on. Is that correct, and does it include threads on the sound of other passive components like caps, etc.? If so it signals a major site repositioning statement that should be made explicit.

Hi terry. What I tried so say but did poorly is, while true that to some degree we all carry around our own personal reference points, you would expect a significant degree of correlation when it comes to changes. Not everyone agrees what constitutes 'bright', 'brighter' shouldn't be an argument.
 
:cop: This thread is somewhat of a lost cause. It will never end because the subjectivists and objectivists can never produce any positive data to convince each other.

Yes but do you have any proof, Iain, or is that just your subjective opinion?

:cop: OFFICIAL WARNING :cop:


This thread will self destruct at the 10,000 post mark.

How 'bout just deleting all but the first post so we can start over? :cheerful:
 
After this thread is closed anyone who starts or even thinks about starting another thread on cables will hear a knock at their door.

Not even mains cables? I have some questions ...

Seriously, there needs to be a rec area somewhere.
The rest of the forum was so nice and peaceful a few days ago when everyone decided to consolidate their arguments over on the "Moderating" thread.

Now that's closed, if you chase the crazies out of here, they're gonna go back to polluting all the other threads.

p.s. Won't the airplane get stuck under the conveyor before it can take off?

Yes, we call it the Lounge now.

Moderating" thread.

Another example of something going south.

My rifle is loaded.

The engines will melt the conveyor.

This thread will self destruct at the 10,000 post mark. At this rate you have until about Friday. After this thread is closed anyone who starts or even thinks about starting another thread on cables will hear a knock at their door. Be afraid. Be very afraid. It's the ghost of cables past.
How long a sin bin for starting another one before this one ends? Really, I had to ask, this one is sooooo much fun, why almost more fun than the dead end EnABL monstrosity. How can you do this to we who have no self control????? I mean, just 'cause it's your tree, why can't we wee weee too?
