No money - Do you understand the difference between AC and DC current?

Kevperro - Psychology is real. Check out my little story in a post to sean on the Science or Psychology thread. It's a true story.

Kevperro - You have a point. After having been called a whore a pimp and accused of jerking off while writing my posts, I haven't much concern for the sensibilities of of folks here. I should because most here are not like that.At first I was naiv...

Ontario - This is the proof that much psychology is involved......."seems that what ever u do in high end audio it affects the sound, ie@ audio point, racks,sorbane feet, mipingo dots, tube dampers, red rollers , audioquest rf stoppers the list is...

Kevperro - Some of what you say is true. A larger gauge line cord will reduce the voltage drop and thereby increase the maximum RMS power of an amplifier. On the other hand a larger line cord because of its lower resistance will have a higher rate...

JD - What I see constantly being put forward is called an "argument from ignorance". This kind of argument works like this, since we don't really understand how things work, whatever the arguer is claiming must be true.

Vantage - Where are you located? Are you willing to consider a $10,000 bet. I don't want to do this if it isn't worth the trouble. If so, we can seriously consider how to arrange this.

Fpeel - What are some of things that believers think sound better, yet they attribute to psychology?

Jade - I would be willing to bet you any amount of money (well, say up to $10,000) that you would be unable to hear the difference in line cords in a true double blind experiment. The reason this psychology business is treacherous is that people R...

Jade - It simply is not possible, no chance, none, zero, nada, ziltch, that line cords, power conditioners outlet distributors or cable conditions (there is a different reason for them) have any effect on fidelity. These things have the same effec...

Jade - Sorry if I get a little testy. I have concluded that there is just not enough common ground for believers and non-believers to have useful discussion. Well, actually, I think speakers are an exception to that. Speakers have such enormously ...

OK, what do you think of this. As you must know, the difference between the sound of musical instruments is mostly in the in the harmonic distortion that they add the fundamental. Varying amounts of energy in the different harmonics give instrumen...

Sedond - Often the difference between the type of gear usually prefered around here (tube amps for example) can be measured. So there is no mystery, most people here prefer higher distortion.

Garfish - I am not only accomplishing nothing, you will be pleased to know, I am less and less interested in accomplishing anything here.
