Can the tread go back on topic now :) Topic is audio myths , not infigthing within the TT3.0 comunity, there is a whole other tread for that.
mennace/scramer . Did you maintain both accounts at the same time ? People usually do this to practice " sock puppeting " and this skews dicussion as sudenly someone has a lot of suporters that are on his side or even more devius schemes that completely derails the discussion even false arguments with your alter ego ! therefore this is frowned upon. If you only wanted a new name , sorry for missunderstanding your intent. back on topic.. I think Ralphpnj is doing us a great favor in his TAS tread, to piont out that some are actively spreading BS and untruths about audio on thier own agenda, these myths are the livelyhood of these magazines. the future develpment of that is going to be interesting when they shift from analog myths to new fresh digital myths. so audio myths differs a bit from " normal myths " or urban legends etc. In that there is a lot of money in actively spreading and maintaning those myths this is very powerfull . the only more powerfull myths are religion, when there is a higher cause ( but lets not go there ). I have no good material to post , but on the topic of cable myths.. Blue Jean Cable seems to be the only manufacturer that have actual facts and real science in their tech articel section. the usual overexpensive brand names usually have BS myths and homemade pseudo science. A good read recomended. Do anyone have good links to other places with really good material ? Preferable in laymans terms to. A part of the problem is that to someone not an engineer or scientist, science and pseusdo science may look the same. And in fringe cases to scientists to and it can change. Example " the ether" to believe in that now is silly but it was not untill a better modell emerged. this may be a good telltale for some myths that they are stuck in the past denying new facts and inventing very elaborate schemes to maintain the myth a good one is " memory distorsion " invented by lavardin to sell thier cargo cult. Is there a good breakdown on psychoacoustics somewhere ? many seems to have very exagerated pow on what is possible to hear or not to hear. I don't think the cause is hopeless it may look so , given the status of the high end where products now are designed acording to pseudo science and thus are more expensive and perform worse that they should or in some cases worse than any no name chinese dvd player ! A positive example astronomy vs astrology , once this was the same thing. Now it took > 1000 years to accomplish it but anyway why give up :) -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
