@audphile1 To AI or not to AI, that is a good question.
I tend to agree with the “not to”
Simply because AI has no ears.
To All Cable Deniers, 1 Very Simple Question.
There are people coming into cable threads and saying all cables sound identical. So I have 1 question for y'all.
Today, it is about power cords.
The end-plug, the metal part, the one you plug into the wall outlet. Without knowing the % of copper in the plug of your basic cable, can you absolutely certain say it sounds identical to a plug with 98% copper?
How about 60% copper plug vs 98% copper? Identical?
40% copper, Identical?
20% copper, Identical?
0% copper, Identical?
To wrap up, the question is very simple. If the copper % is different, would the 2 plugs still sound the same?
A bonus question, if a plug is 60% gold, will it sound identical vs a 98% copper?

Unfortunately I can not do blindfold tests. It’s just me testing out cables and power cords alone. So when it’s wrong wrong wrong RIGHT...what does that mean? I tried out an expensive power cord on various components. It sounded noticeably better on one component. Why did I feel that one component with this power cord changed the sound of my system when using it with the others made no difference to me. Was I imagining this? I’m testing out now HDMI interconnects from budget to expensive. I hear differences that I like on more expensive interconnects. But sometimes I hear so little difference it's not worth the more money. What to do. Is my mind/hearing fooling me?

@mylogic why not use AI to augment your research on whatever it is you’re curious about at the moment? Just need to be able to properly digest the information. Nothing wrong with that. Just don’t let the AI do the thinking for you. |
@audphile1 “…AI to augment….” That’s a valid assessment. AI can lead you in a certain direction, maybe suggest. The times l have bothered to read AI generated reports, l only ever take the information as a generalised simplified overview…. nothing more. |
