This does not directly lead to musical enjoyment. But it may lead to more accurate reproduction, which also does not necessarily lead to greater enjoyment, but it can. As has been pointed out, at the prices which audiophile cables often fetch, unless one has money to burn, blind testing can be a useful tool (not, by any means, the only tool) to help one spend money on his system where it makes the most audible (to him) difference, if, indeed, that is his goal.
Hmm... Maybe I can find an audio dealer who will imagine that I paid him $1000 for a speaker cable so I can imagine I hear a big improvement when I use it in my system... :) -- Timothy Stockman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Timothy Stockman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8867 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44124 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
