For example, the recent Light Harmonic Geek Out V2 isn't much to look at but I did listen 1st and posted positive initial impressions then did the measurements which ended up indeed being excellent. I've tried for years to listen for difference between WAV vs. FLAC, silver vs. copper interconnects, or different SPDIF cables... Never noticed a difference and was overall "happy" with generic cables and bitperfect software. Admittedly I felt insecure and perhaps even envious about this since all these other audiophiles seem to be experiencing something I wasn't. The strange thing was I thought my hearing was better than many because I could hear anomalies and helped a few fix problems (like one of them was listening to his music all along using MP3 transcoding!). This is all before even bothering to measure anything. > > Have you listened to one? > To the Regen, no, not yet. I will if/when a friend gets his. Like I said, I'm not too interested given the lack of rationale for this to make much if any difference... Been around too long since the days of trying to cryo cables and green pens for CDs to keep trying unlikely stuff based on pure testimony.
