Re: So was Einstein and Maxwell.

""That's not my read of Jon's posts at all. I don't hear him saying that the science is perfect and that there is nothing to discover""peter..

Although I do not agree, I respect your opinion..You've been quite nice about it..

Jon's post:what Mike was talking about:

""In point of fact, it provides an improvement in nearly ALL cases, and is one of the few things that is about as universal as can be possible for audio cables.""JR

In this case, the traditional thought being "about as universal as can be possible", and Mike being the one to question that traditional thought..and being ostrasized for his beliefs..

""There is a large body of work in the medical field that has determined the frequency range we can hear, the minimum SPL we can detect, the minimum change in SPL we can detect, the loudest sounds before damage is done, our sensitivity to harmonics, and the list goes on. We know the capabilities of the ear."mm

I would tend to agree with him..however, what was not covered is how we interpret a soundstage binaurally..That is way open right now.. The tests Mike talks of have been beat to death.. But, notice that no distortion, either harmonic, or temporal, is in that list..

""BTW, I used the religious connotation deliberately -- this sort of thinking smacks of dogma and belief, not open-minded exploration.""peter

The people who believe cables sound differently must beware of falling into that trap as well..

""At least Einstein knew that he would eventually be proven wrong....""peter..

Yup

Cheers, John
