Fair enough I guess. I agree that if you want to hear differences, you can.
My last word on the topic here.
Notice the boldened and font size in the quote.
If I were expecting a difference, you may or may not be correct.
Just because someone is expecting a difference does not mean that they are deluding themeslves when there is a difference. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as disappointment in this context.
Anyway, this is invalid in my case, as if you had taken the care to read and digest my post you would have noticed that I stated that I was a cable skeptic.
In your previous post:-
Oh yeah. It takes golden ears for this hogwash to work, that's right.
The only difference is Usain Bolt's achievements are measurable and observable and exist in the real world. While your observations and beliefs of having 'golden ears' are just... Nothing.
Can't you believe that some of us have better hearing acuity than others?
How do you measure hearing with a stopwatch?
Do dogs have more acute hearing than humans?
I had occasion to correct a fellow workmate who had a Sony CD recorder and mini-CD player that came as a bundle package deal, where he reckoned that there was
NO difference in the quality of the sound presentation.
I asked him to play the same material through each. After he did so, I told him that the minidisk was grainier in it's sonic presentation. He called me a liar.
I then told him that I would turn my back and tell him which source was being used. He agreed.
Out of ten samples, I was 100% correct.
It seems that
some of the skeptics are afraid to face the fact that they have less hearing ability than others.
I, personally do not have the ability to detect the soundstage of a particular headphone unless I really concentrate. I do not have the problem with speakers.
Do I criticise those who say those who say that one headphone has a wider stage, and another has a higher or deeper one? No, I do not.
I am well aware of my hearing abilities.
As a parting question, have you tried different cables in your system?
