Of course it's a possibility. Just not likely based on well understood science and the fact that the science was used to create our electronic gadgets and the lack of evidence for many of these beliefs. I do however wonder what you mean by "the rest of the world is right". Suppose I take a $500 3' length of AudioQuest Diamond USB cable and go to the following places to talk about how this cable is the best sounding interconnect I've heard: 1. Rocky Mountain Audio Fest - Most there would likely be OK if I said this was the best USB cable known to man; the exhibitors might even show me a few they think superior. 2. My non-audiophile coworkers, friends, wife (ie. most of the world) - responses would range from indifference, cautious curiosity - "really!", or perhaps some eye-rolling from those who have some concept/experience with how digital transfers work - "really?". Most people will likely have some inkling that I'm probably one prone to conspicuous consumption for spending so much money on something they got for free with their printer. 3. Steve Hoffman music forum, home theater (eg. AVS) forum - some support but I'm sure a bit of disapproval. Nasty arguments not uncommon. 4. AES (Audio Engineering Society) Meeting - I'm not likely to make many friends among the professional organization if I keep talking about expensive audiophile products like this unless I were handing them out free. 5. Hydrogen Audio forum - I'll likely get banned or at the least asked to produce ABX test results. Don't do it, man... So... What do you think the "rest of the world" believes? I'd be cautious suggesting the "rest of the world" sides with commonly accepted audiophile beliefs.
