It's like hearing about an amazing magic trick. If I told you I saw a guy on the street levitate and there was NO WAY it was just an illusion, would you say, "wow, that is amazing" and believe me? or would you ask questions and maybe even tell me how impossible it is?

This might not be the most perfect analogy, but it does help illustrate the view of a skeptic. Unfortunately, most believers on this site are intollerant of the skeptic veiwpoint (at least that is what I have seen), so when they ask for proof or reasons behind the magic, nobody is willing to help them. At least you are willing to admit it goes against your electrical knowledge.

Well, the very simple way is to test them yourself. I've personally seen so many things in audio that goes against my electrical knowledge, and then so many little things that goes kinda in between.


The problem with magicians and street performers is that you can't get them home and probe and poke them all day long, at least not legally anyways. While with most cables you can, and if you do not damage the cables while probing and poking them, some even offers money back guarantees to take it back if you don't like it.
