I said I didn't need them as a prop for what I'm saying, which stands quite solidly on its own. Otherwise I'd simply be resorting to argument from authority, such as... > Now on the other subject: So not even respected academics are good > enough for you, what matters here is not that he is a full blown > capitalist but that he is a scientist seriously researching in > conductors and that he has a very different opinion than you inside > academia, (not in his business) he has successfully invented many types > of conductors and that many people in the field respect his research. ...this one. Sorry, but no - the word (and that's all it is - words) of a cable manufacturer that sells three feet of wire for $5,000 does not carry any weight at all in this debate. > The paper I linked is clearly meant for non academics, and its without > question a commercial paper, but any avid reader would be able to read > it without paying attention to the brand commercials in it. if I would > link an academic paper in conductors full of measurements probably you > and a few others will be able to discern it, and by your attitude I > doubt your absolute stubbornness will help you open your mind, to > anything else, anyway. The document you linked to is not a paper, it's a sales brochure. Why don't you link to one of these putative academic papers? Preferably one which demonstrates the audibility of these cables? > Its funny that you mention psychoacoustics and measurements together.... > as psychoacoustics (last ive heard) is the SUBJECTIVE study of human > perception of sound.

I'll be sure to let them know. Do you also consider biology to be subjective? > All religions if followed by the book are fundamental and absolute, and > what you call your "science" has become your absolute religion.

You have yet to give any foundation for your position at all, let alone a good one. darrenyeats;276862 Wrote: > > So I believe this argument is *a proxy for the DBT argument*.

I disagree that it is not winnable - it is not logically self-consistent and is demonstrably false. harmonic;276867 Wrote: > ope in the klimax ds thread you wrote this to me > > > Quote: > Sounds like you've pretty much talked yourself into spending $20,000 on > a squeezebox in a nice case. > > Have fun with that! > > Its pretty obvious that it wassent a joke thats why i cant understand > what you are doing in thise kinds of forums. That wasn't exactly a joke, no. I'm posting here because I care about sound quality and accurate musical reproduction.
