Wow. That's an interesting discussion. It would simply be a lot of hypothesis had they not in the first 5-6 minutes of the video given a couple of demonstrations on how the ear/brain/eye can be made to "hear" things that were never there in the first place.
The Led Zeppelin "backwards" jibberish...suddenly all made perfect sense when they displayed a textual aid to tell you what you were supposed to be hearing. And the missing consonant demo. I heard an "S"....that was clearly not present at all. The "error correction" capacity of the brain is remarkable. Kinda sad actually, because as a "Musicphile" (one who wants his music to sound good too)...I want there to be HUGE differences, and this video shoots LOTS of big holes in things. An indictment of sorts. The ear can be mislead into hearing all sorts of things. Apparently, we can hear things that weren't there to begin with. Seems entirely plausible that a brochure, or a magazine review could easily have the same effect of "telling us" what we're hearing. It should give pause to one planning on spending a few thousand dollars on a set of speaker cables. The video is definitely worth the time it takes to watch. -- Curt962 Transporter...Touch....Boom...... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Curt962's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31949 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86359 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
