Can We Hear Differences Between AC Power Cords?

You mean Berrylium Dust? He's a big Porto supporter so he's got other things on his mind this evening

Just saw your Avatar Michael.

Didn't realise you were a Play School fan

Which window are you looking out of today?

 

What there aren't enough of you telling me already?

 

Lets try the round window children, its got a dac on it, and its blue, must be a good one humpty

 

What some of you 'believers' seem unwilling or unable to grasp is that this debate is about sound and human perception of sound and how best we can spend our (limited) resources to obtain truly better and more satisfying sound quality. It is not about YOU.

 

Notaclue I have always said buy the best sounding boxes you can find then start looking at cables and stuff to optimise the sound you like so much, FWIW I have only spent around 10% of my system cost on wires'n' things, but we are so used to the non belivers ramming there opinions down our throats, that any mention of a cable debate, brings out the worst in all of us.

 

notaclue,

better is easy.

more satisfying less so

 

Interesting how you only come out when this subject about

 

What quite a few of us have grasped though is how mind numbingly boring the subject is. (hence my attempts at silliness to relieve the tedium)

Yes, WM is right, how come you only pop out of the woodwork when cable debates are occuring? why not have a go at posting about something else for a change?

 

Took your time, it's been there for a while. It's some Japanese artwork from here:

Thought that putting the 47 Labs logo as my avatar would be a bit cheeky

I'm not much of an 'audiophile' these days. And it was reading the cable debates on forums and newsgroups that made me a 'non-audiophile'. I found it very interesting and the evidence certainly changed my mind. And I personally enjoy listening to my hi-fi much more being a non-audiophile. As such, I am grateful to the hi-fi forum 'sceptics' and am doing my small bit to carry on the righteous struggle for audio truth and justice etc. etc. etc.

 

Touche

 

Same here. Much easier, less stressful, and cheaper this way. Doesnt mean that I dont appreciate decent sound though, but I've long since learned myself to listen to music again, and not the sound.

 

Err, same here, I've always just enjoyed listening to the music. Its just that the music just keeps getting better and better.

Why do people assume that because others spend money on more expensive kit and heaven forfend expensive cables that they become audiophiles who are incapable of enjoying music? I'd say that is more a reflection on the character of the people making the assumptions myself.

 

Noone ever actually listens to any music AFAIK - everyone's too busy either playing test tones on repeat and agonising over the measured imperfections in the frequency response amplitude, or playing their favourite demo disc on repeat and agonising over the difference between two magic wires.

 

Strange, there was me thinking some of us played rankerious shite with gay abandonment, guess you've blown that idea out the water Pete
I would say, that only appiles to about 20% of the hard core over 45's, the 70% have fisherman sweaters/ sup hook norton & read the flat responce, carry an lp 12 under one arm and kans in the other and exchange deep dark secrets in the land of dungoens and dragons.
that leaves the rest that do listen to rankerious shite and proud of it too

 

Nice to see my rankerous shite comment on PFM tickled you WM, although, strangely enough, I wasn't actually thinking about rawk music, or you, when I posted it. I quite like some rawk music after all. Although not Rush. Obviously.

I know Ian, we had a chuckle at work
I know you do a bit of blues, are you an Elmore James partaker?

 

Michael

what CDP are you getting?

 

Now you're talking. "Dust My Broom" is whatever is the polar opposite of rankerous old shite.
