Default 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?

The USB one that Maplin are doing for £16. At that price I figured it
was worth a go... and it does a hell of a lot better than the Creative
one I had before. Analogue and SPDIF outputs, non-resampled and bit-perfect.

Thanks for pointing me in that direction. I bought one, not that I'm too
bothered about "bit perfection" for the application, but I needed an SPDIF
output from a laptop, and that seemed the easiest and cheapest way.
Unfortunately I needed a co-ax output rather than an optical one, but a
74HCU04, a couple of resistors and a phono socket sorted that.

David.

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...
