No wonder people can't hear the difference...
 
Something struck me the other day whilst reading this group.

All these "do they/don't they" arguments about speaker cables and
interconnects... if there is a difference then the likes of Pinkerton,
Phil Allison, Krueger etc are so busy trying to out-Tourettes each other
that they wouldn't be able to hear it over the swearing anyway.

And these people expect us to take one word they say seriously?

It would take a seriously imperceptive person to confuse Allison's profane
rants with the moderate comments by Pinkerton and Krueger.

You expect us to take seriously anything you'd say about perceiving
differences, given how confused you obviously are?

I should add that there are a large number of posts under my name that
quoted subjectivists who were themselves very profane. I don't think it is
my place to change their posts when quoting them.

Eh? Mr Pinkerton doesn't post here anymore but Mr Kruger certainly does -
and I can't remember him ever using a swear word.

Allison on the other hand...

I don't follow your 'argument'.

Electrical signals (including audio band ones) follow the laws of physics
and their behaviour is easily predicted. My belief is that certain 'cable
differences' are easily explained by those laws, rather than any audio
'voodoo'.

If so, and the PRO-audio world certainly believes so, those differences
could easily be eliminated by using 'pro' type interfaces which have now
become actually LESS expensive than 'audiophool' ones.

**You should, perhaps, ask the question directly to each. You could, for
instance, ask:

Are there are any audible differences between speaker cables, under specific
conditions?

You may well be surprised at the answers. Don't assume answers, before you
hear them.

I've never noticed a speaker cable have any effect on the sound stage or
the image presented by the speakers, it only, for me at least, changes the
tonal balance.

Interconnects, for me do the opposite. I've never noticed a tonal change
but have noticed sound stage and imaging differences. I've no idea why.


I've never noticed a definite difference with either IC's or speaker
cables, but I mainly use headphones and due to circumstances have never
had the opportunity to listen for any length of time at "realistic"
volume levels on speakers.
I wondered at what sort of volume level you play for these differences
to become apparent, fairly loud I should imagine?

Okay, now rip me apart, do your worst.


I'll stand by with the first aid kit and a nice cup of tea.
