Mzk,
"
It’s like how I don’t need to race a Tesla Model S against a Toyota Camry to find which is faster, there are recordings of their 0-60 and 1/4 mile performances"
Measurements are not all inclusive... Even with that one measurement, the camry still sounds better :-) |
So no then? Doesn't seem very proper for someone who rests on science. No double blind tests, no peer reviews, no measurements. Really it's just an uneducated authoritarian opinion. I've never heard any of that equipment so will not comment on which is better. If you supply the equipment I'd be delighted to run the comparison though. |
mzk,
Please, please, please tell us you've heard these 2 systems in the same listening environment to come to that conclusion. If not, it is pure speculation (stated with authority) again. |
mzk,
You speak with such authority. I believe we are all blessed with certain abilities. Yours apparently isn't hearing. Nothing wrong with that, except when you base your hearing ability as the pinnacle & make authoritative statements based on that. |
So say's you (& your textbook), nothing more. |
mzk buddy,
"
What makes a speaker have good soundstage width is actually a pretty simple question, so nothing really to debate"
You're negating cables make a difference to soundstage, so that really isn't accurate. |
So mzk,
To add to nonoise's correct observation above... Does your placebo avoidance equipment (that equipment that science has graciously gifted us with to save audiophiles money & make non-audiophiles feel smarter) actually measure sound stage width, depth, & instrument separation, or are you under the impression that those changes must be in the audiophiles head as well? |

cakyo,
One would have to be delusional to believe they only have to spend $1000 to become superhuman... |
Dyna, Only 2 groups?
I'd add one more more... The group that actually can hear a difference. |
riccitone,
I've experienced that look from my wife as well, LOL.
Running Tekton speakers myself & absolutely love them. |
mzkmxcv,
To believe that we as human beings understand everything about how each persons ears convey information to their brain is almost as arrogant as making the jump that if they hear something you don't, it's a placebo. |
|
canibefrank, Seems easier to buy a better cable. Life is harder when you're poor. |
|
audioengr,
What you say makes sense. Do you have a recommendation for a high quality audiophile BNC to RCA adapter? |
"
And yet you do not know it actually made a difference, all you know is that you heard a difference"
In regard to audio, that is exactly what I'm concerned with.
"
Ah! The ol' "Better hearing", "Better equipment" argument"
Yep |
Anyone who thinks "bits are bits" are fooling themselves. If that is the case try a toslink cable from best buy & compare it to a true 75 ohm coax cable. I've done it / The difference is not subtle. I'm also sure that Steve's "
Synchro-Mesh reclocker" would improve the sound even more. Just saying there are improvements to be had with the bits. |
