I'm sorry, but at this point in the argument (ok, discussion :) ) you seem to be pretty much ignoring the fact that there is a well established literature on the way we humans trick ourselves. There are some videos on youtube by Ethan Winer and Poppy Crum illustrating how this works for audio at least to some degree. The fact that we do this has resulted in the pharma industry having to adopt fairly rigorous blinding for their studies. I mentioned before that I find it mysterious that people think that audio is so radically different than medicine in this regard. paul.raulerson;693754 Wrote: > > As for USB cables, try some. if you personally do or do not hear a > difference, I will believe you. :) I do not actually find you abrasive. > I am a little amused that some would equate me with Xinu or whatever, > over a USB cable. > > Have you tried listening to different cables to see if you hear a > difference? > > Paul Isn't Xenu a great galactic emperor who committed a huge genocide (by putting people in volcanoes and setting them of with hydrogen bombs if I remember)? I'm pretty sure if _he_ found a difference he wasn't expecting, he would kill everyone involved in the making of all of them :). The only place I ever use a usb cable for anything audio related is at work, and I have randomly chosen usb cables out of a box a couple times there: never noticed a difference. But I wouldn't take that as evidence either way, given the environment there (kind of noisy, not particularly good spund card) and the fact that I wasn't trying to discern a difference. -- totoro sb touch -> classdaudio sds-450 -> audio physic tempo 4 + rel storm 3 & rythmik f12se ------------------------------------------------------------------------ totoro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93549 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
