Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

On second thought, maybe not....

OK, I went to the forum you suggested, but it's pretty sad. I'm sorry these people were so abused by cable vendors as children, and it must get tiring carrying such a large chip on the shoulder. Not a therapy group I particularly want to join......

IMO, it doesn't look like a place for productive interaction. I find that there's little to be gained from discussion with dogmatists, no matter what their viewpoint. Like the bumper-sticker says..."minds are like parachutes; they only function when open".

Gene did a nice job summarizing his position:

To be of the mindset that one can hear differences in cables... that they cannot measure implies:
1) Lack of understanding of basic electronics.
2) Lack of understanding of how the human ear and psychological perception affects ones hearing.
3) Motivated sales agenda to promote esoteric, high profit margin cables.

In my experience, such assurance that all possible knowledge is already at hand is usually a sign of a closed mind. I'm not saying they're wrong; just that it feels like a pointless place to discuss anything subtle.....
