In Reply to: Almost always. Expectation bias and any number of other things. posted by Tre' on August 8, 2024 at 13:25:59:
Reading the audio data off CDs is one area of audiophilia that should be quantifiable - is the data read correctly, is it presented at the right time (jitter) and does it affect how hard the servos have to work to recover the data (power supply modulation). Tweak proponents could measure these things and prove efficacy but in the upside down audiophile world it is for the rational to disprove them. Some (many?) believe everything makes a difference and will tweak anything/everything and, perhaps, manufacturers are the same and they don't have a rational idea what they are doing and so wouldn't know how to prove anything.
For full disclosure I think it obvious my expectation bias is that these things don't work so I don't try them. Thus I can't say they don't work, only that it is very unlikely they do.
