False claim here is that if you have not purchased overpriced cables based on fraudulent technology, you are not an audiophile. Like I said in the other post, I think that all audiophiles are not necessarily idiots, just because a minority are. > > You people represent a very small part of the whole who 'do not' hear a > difference. > That's where you are wrong and are again exposing your lack of knowledge about some of the more subtle issues related to audio. It is true that only a minority of audiophiles have enough advanced education to know about placebo effects. You are in fact in the process of giving us more proof of that. Just because a person is well informed about audio and knows about placebo effects, and knows that fraudulent cables are bogus, does not mean that the knowledge gives them immunity to placebo effects. Placebo effects are a universal part of the human experience. Therefore, we experience that fancy audio cables sound different if you are naive and uninformed about doing listening tests related to them. If you are stupid, you can't act smart; but if you are smart, the option of acting stupid is available to you. I'd cite the professional, peer-reviewed papers related to this, but based on your behavior in this thread, they are way over your head. I'll bet you have never read a peer reviewed paper in a professional journal of any kind in your life and understood it. Way about most people's reading level. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106519 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
