^Which was my take on it as well, glad to see you agree with me (not that I was looking for it, but nice to know

I too am intrested. It took me spending most of my savings since sept 2008 of my 300+USD monthly pay to get the JH16s (not here yet). Cables like twag would take the savings of the last 4 months of my time in the army.

Started a thread on a local forum and people took it the wrong way.

I hate those balls. My kitty cats do too. They always get stuck all over my socks when I venture off the well-beaten topic. Crap, here's one now.

Woah. Scratch and sniff CDs! Not very productive, but awesome in theory! Much like Dippin' Dots.

C'Mon. Give me a fighting chance. How's about 5 out of 6?

 

[vhbaske]

I would buy very expensive cable, but, not for the sound, but for the LOOK !!! How beautiful they look, like a working Rolls Royce and Honda Accord at the street, but they go to the same place. The devil blesses all those who can.

Don't make me pull out my calculator.

Ok, too late.

>> factorial(6)/(factorial(5)*factorial(6-5))*(.5^5)*(.5^(6-5))

ans =

0.0938

You'd have close to a 10% chance of getting 5/6 by chance alone.

How about 7/8? (p = 0.0313)

I am very curious with this comment. Lets just say, hypothetically, they found that there are indeed individuals that are documented to have been able to differentiate with 100 percent accuracy several cables in a DBT. Will you then be able to hear differences in your BJC cables, and start hearing differences in expensive ones too? Or will you be thankful that you are amongst the majority that have "less efficient" hearing and hence have no need for "cable tuning".

Remember there is absolute evidence that some headphones are technically better than others - but the majority (of the population) will never hear it that way. If I feel more healthier breathing country air than city air - yet there has not been one conclusive study to indicate that fresh country air will prolong my life one more day than breathing city air - am I wrong.

Will objectivists ever play the devil's advocate and ask themselves - "what if" conclusive evidence was found of human hearing being able to detect what equipment cannot. How will objectivists honestly react to this news. There can only be 3 possible outcomes.

1. An objectivist will "convert" and eventually start to hear differences for themselves. You are weak - the world does not belong to you it belongs to the strong.

2. An objectivist will be surprised - but not affected as he has never heard heard these differences, he knew then and he knows now, he knows he can't hear cable differences. You are strong - the world belongs to you.

3. An objectivist detest these new findings - he has tried in vain to hear differences and never could. He refuses to submit to the fact that someone is "better" than he. You are incredibly strong - the world belongs to you (don't shoot me on this one)

Everyone should ponder "what was" "what is" and "what if" - If you are honest with yourself then the answer is always "what ever".

Of course headphones will make a difference. Different transducers, different technologies. But cables? When I see those Piccolino cables selling for hundreds of dollars I feel for those souls who spend their hard earned money on fantasies.
Of course if you can easily afford them that's OK, but some people around here don't have a lot of cash and is plain fraud to steal their money.

Brad of Virtual Dynamics was to provide "evidence" in May of 2008 . . .

I realize that just having my word on it isn't gonna be good anough for anyone, it wouldn't be good enough for me... Which is why we are putting in the money and time to have them tested by a third party (which doesn't mean we are paying to have them tested... the testing is being done for free, the money is the investment of materials, shipping, plane tickets to go down and film the results, ect.) So yeah, if that is really all it is gonna take Bigshot, then I expect a sales order from you to be crossing Rita's desk within 3 months or so... assuming that you aren't misrepresenting your position. There does remain the possibility, however, that you aren't actually interested in improving your sound and your components, but intellectually invested in stroking your ego on this board. I'm going to be generous and assume you actually meant what you said... . . .

"What if" is not "what is".

Whatever.

Show 'em the results of three DBTs!

Nooo.. Don't die! I'm still very keen on hearing from anyone regarding abxing twag cables and similar.

 

[kickassdude]

When food looks good, it tastes better. Same with cables. Al tough the sound hardly changed the sound perception did change.

Walking through the supermarket with my wife, and she sees a new model of shampoo in fancy packaging, and she says "wow, that looks really good".
To which I respond, "no, the shampoo doesn't look really good, the packaging does".
