Audio phenomena have nothing to do with «believing». They're simply about hearing them and trusting your own senses if the perceived effect is consistent -- so it definitely serves its purpose. If you don't hear the audio phenomena in question, there's no need for you to follow the issue any further. The same applies to «believers» (as you name them, which is definitely wrong), just the other way round. That's the (sad?) truth...
That said, of course I'd like to see physical explanations as well as metrological and statistical evidence. Although I consider it obsolete in the case of electronics components and only a real challenge in the case of cables.

And if I do find evidence that is negative, it is implied that such evidence is beyond unwelcome and nearly heretical here. Since I'm seemingly required to do my own research (anyone want to loan me 10K of AC cables?), I only have the inexpensive "choice" of not believing if I also never buy any audio gear ever since those who advocate it have not responsibility to advocate it based on facts. |
