My best laugh today. ;-) Ya know, as much as I enjoy testing my gear, I think it would be fascinating to gather a group of folks like the above who claims to be able to differentiate expensive power cables, bi/single wire configurations, (presumably) electrically sound interconnects, etc. In one of his other videos he even shows how the cables are on maple blocks lifted from the carpet and has metal filings in his speaker stand (preferred over sand).
Run the cohort through sensory testing (eg. audiological acuity tests), psychological profiles (maybe the MMPI, SCID, WAIS tests), neuropsychological/physiological tests of reaction speed/multitasking ability/concentration/auditory memory ability, and blind test of claimed auditory abilities and see what comes out. There could be a decent thesis in psychology or social sciences in there somewhere... I certainly do not want to be disparaging or unreasonably cynical since the human mind and body is complex and many secrets are yet to be discovered. Hey, I'm even happy to help out as an 'objectivist audiophile' comparison group if my expenses are paid and everyone gets some Nordost cables. (My cables of course will immediately get tested and put up on eBay to the highest bidder.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Archimago's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2207 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97950 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
