I just wanted to quote this again because it really is the key. The second part of the sentence is the important one. Undoubtably cables can be (mis)designed to sound different. Some people may even perceive that difference as better for various reasons, perhaps not the least of which is that they have spent significant amount of money on them and don't wish to feel like a rube. However, conflating that perceived difference with greater accuracy or "musical truth" is false within the current understanding of physical laws. Unless someone can provide a testable theory that leads to convincing and repeatable experimental results that explain why a certain speaker cable design is audibly different that 12 gauge zip cord in reasonable lengths to a human listener it is perfectly correct to say that all such claims of audible superiority are a priori false. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ induna's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34626 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96407 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
