In Reply to: "I hear it" doesn't constitute proof. posted by Markw* on January 23, 2015 at 01:26:41:
But, again, if those differences are so apparant, how come nobody has ever convinced the world they are all that significant? After all, nobody disagrees that speakers sound different. Where's that proof?
Who cares?
Nobody has convinced the world that high end audio reproduction is a worthy pursuit. There's no point in trying to validate one's hobby with the rest of the world that doesn't care.
The only people whose opinions matter to me regarding audio are people who have heard what high end audio systems are capable of and who appreciate it enough to make it their pursuit and who can listen critically and then articulate the aspects of sound quality they are hearing.
There are plenty of people who pontificate about the audio hobby based on a simplistic model of audio reproduction who have never experienced really high fidelity systems, or who have but couldn't appreciate the difference. I do not care about these people's opinions on system building. Nor do I care what anybody thinks who isn't into this hobby.
A better example of religious belief in this hobby is clinging to the DBT. It is an experimental technique that has done nothing to advance the state of the art of audio reproduction. Successful researchers select experimental methods that provide new information and help them advance. Only a fool worships a method that brings no results.
Regarding the cable asylum rules, they would be unnecessary if everybody exercised simple forum etiquette. No hobby forum anywhere welcomes people who post there only to tell everyone their hobby is bullshit. It should be tolerable in small doses, but the cable forum had a history where it suffered from a few disruptive posters flooding the forum with the same pointless comments over and over.
