just a few words on this meandering thread and off topic too.... if you can't personally hear breakin or burn in count your self lucky its something that you don't need to worry about. similarly cables if your happy with the crappy freebies then why do you need to worry about the more exotic types ?
secondly just because you can hear something does not mean it doesn't exist ..it just means you can hear it. Therefore any statements along the lines of just because I can't hear it means it must be snake oil is frankly not very well thought through and I suggest you need to think about it in rather more detail before you make such pronouncments. IME I agree with patrick dixon and feel most of the changes are capacitance based ...but life's too short to worry about it. As to cables ....I can demonstrate two dissimilar cables sound different...anyone with two outputs on a source can do the same, feed both into an amp and switch between them. I've demonstrated this to many sceptics and not one now claims that all cable sound the same! I can also demonstrate that two outwardly disimilar cables will sound the same. ie any two copper coaxial cables from different makers will give reasonably similar results. This is in my opinion where the idea that all cables sound the same originates... as most cables on the market are, guess what ! stranded copper coaxial types. I'm either blessed or cursed that I can hear what differences different plug can make on the same cable ... If anyones local to me I quite happy to demonstrate these effects.....but as I've already said you can all do it yourselves. An aside a local chap who lives less than 40miles away and a veherment cable sceptic has refused to come over and listen to my system and the cable experiment ...saying its a waste of time and he already knows the result .....now why would he say that ? for me its because hes scared of the outcome and affraid that his little cosy closed world is under threat ... -- zanash Acoustician and builder of interesting cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ zanash's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12157 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42388 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
