Harley quote


Regarding two aftermarket power cables: "These differences in the shapes of the musical waveforms are far too small to see or measure with even the most sophisticated technology, yet we as listeners not only routinely discriminate such differences, we sometimes find musical meaning in these differences."

 Nonsense. Just because people claim to "routinely discriminate" differences doesn't mean it's true or they're right. Apparently many have witnessed UFOs but that doesn't mean they actually saw extraterrestrial visitors, does it? Some have seen/heard a deity speaking to them "routinely"; does that imply that they are surely communing with an unseen/unmeasurable spiritual force(s)? Can we not put a little more effort into confirmatory reality-testing first when "the most sophisticated technology" can find nothing in 2020? (Of course, speaker cables can measure differently as per here, here, even if not necessarily audible in many cases by the time we connect amp to speaker.)

The workings and mechanics you describe are correct but I just don't have the capacity right now to address everything brought up lately.
Much, to much going on for me to be even handed, thoughtful and even snarky without outright losing it. But, that's just me speaking for me.

All the best,

@twoleftears , I disagree. No matter how I think critically about things, and how reliable the evidence is, I'll determine, for myself, when to contribute to this discussion on religion.

Truth be told, I'm really at a loss as to why you'd raise this. I'm under no obligation to respond to anyone here on that. 

All the best,

I understand, but sometimes you just have to let some things go.
Myself, I'm going to try to stay away from contentious debates here and concentrate on the really serious stuff going down in recent days.

Hey I didn't bring religion in to this but to ignore quackery about the age of the earth or global floods is to ignore quackery about Qnon and ballot stuffing. There has been enough ignoring this kind of nonsense . We need to get out of the damn dark ages.
I feel the same way about certain political beliefs and look where it's always gotten us. On another note, I wonder just how long Admin will allow a religious debate/argument to continue in comparison to how long they let the political ones. I guess all it will take is one comment too many on a view that conflicts with Admin, which is what they did with politics.

Again, have fun and best of luck,

A person's religious beliefs and views should never be conflated with their, say, audio views.  To use that as some kind of proof that since one is questionable or suspect, the other might as well be is ridiculous. 

Or, to go after someone for their beliefs because you just lost an argument on another matter is a just plain dumb thing to do.

What's next, those who believe that someone lost a legitimate election are not to be believed when they comment on an audio related matter? This isn't a slippery slope, it's a giant downhill skiing event. Have fun.

So basically a troll. Maybe you should change your moniker to allnoise?  
And here we have a great example of projection. 
Keep on keeping on (S)punky Brewster. You go, girl.

Poor, poor audio2design. Taken down a few notches from a surfeit of hubris and he's all aflutter and talking like a street punk, showing his true colors.

By the way, I haven't owned a TT since the mid '80s, punky Brewster.

While Archimago is absolutely right in everything he states,
                                     &
It is absolutely unquestionable beyond any shadow of a doubt.
And, ladies and gentlemen, there you have it, the ramblings of a true zealot.

Thank goodness some of these opposing viewpoints don't have actual armies at the ready, to literally slay the other side, because they would for the sake of being right.

I could never understand how deeply religious some get over so trivial a matter of what and how other people hear.

All the best,
