That's the problem. Many on here think that you are.
I write what I mean very clearly. When others misread me, It's up to them, not up to me.
Beliefs are a strange thing in many ways, most people make the simple error of thinking that their beliefs are their own when in fact they are usually acquired second hand from other people. When you appear to challenge these 'beliefs' people often get defensive. Many are happy to be accepted as part of the herd, some reject the herd and often have to pay the price for doing so. Sorry if this is blindingly obvious but it may not have occurred to some who might read this thread.
The above is correct.
Good luck to you.
Thank you and good luck to you as well.
if i hear a difference between power cords, is that a proof of anything? i do not think so....
that is my anecdote, true to me but may not be to you...
Indeed, whatever subjective impressions one may have, those impressions may be completely irrelevant to others.

Well, there is 'something', which is actually 'nothing' (when 'nothing' means 'not a thing', though it doesn't mean 'not existing') – which is infinite, absolute.
However the above truth, or philosophy, is outside the realm of the present forum.

Nothing anyone says should be taken for granted as truth.
Try attacking the technical points rather than the people. If a technical point isn't being made or it's too self-evidently stupid to attack, then don't bother posting, you're just feeding someone's need for attention.
It's quite simple. 😀
To be fair, confirmation bias is a known scientific phenomenon, so would that not be a "technical" point? 😉
Philosophical relativism at its worst.There are no such things as absolute truth or absolute proof.

Even if I play one track consecutively, it seems different so how can anyone gauge the difference between tracks when a piece of inconsequential piece of wire is changed?
Methinks that old phenomenon of imaginitus.

"I write what I mean very clearly" Your joking right? Trying to stir things up again I see. Congratulations Joshua as you have successfully managed to have a group of individuals "dazed & confused" Your an individual that excels in politico speak....talking in circles, using logic is particular instances, trying to invoke a discussion, when the logic comes back to you, then you take off in a tangent. Are you a politician? A political writer? A "law maker"? If not, you should change your career.
A few of us here can see thru your tangled mess of prose.
In the final analysis the technical, provable, scientific method prevails..........Your statements are just anecdotal.......the rest is to be ignored. This is one fish that did not get "hooked" by your prose , I merely took a sniff of your bait, goodbye.

Personally, as a technique, I listen to a track where some aspect of the sound is hovering at the edge of being acceptable, or unacceptable - if I were in a poor sound I'll be really irritated by that quality, and, conversely, if in a good quality I can live with it. Listen to that track, make the change, listen, change back, listen - did the "unpleasantness quotient" alter through the exercise?
for me, i listen to tracks to enjoy the music, not to strain and stress as to what i could have missed....i classify them are either enjoyable or not enjoyable....
I'm only talking about using a piece of music, as a test instrument at a particular time, for a specific purpose: to assess whether a change has made an audible difference - if I'm just "listening to music" then my head's in a different space ...
As is the case for tuning a car - you accelerate hard to test performance improvements ... but don't keep doing that when taking the family for a drive ...

For lots of people, yes. Basically, if no difference can be heard, either the system is VERY well designed to minimize the effect and still operate optimally, or the system is too messed up. Anything in between, differences would generally be audible.cable crap will make you crazyand that is the truth 😉

The power cords I use are made by Neotech, cut to length, and the plugs are made by Oyaide. Both are commonly available.
Which Neotech cables did you use? They make 4, NEP 3200, 3001, 3002 & 3003.
Which Oyaide plugs did you use? Oyaide makes too many to list here.
