In Reply to: More proof of activity on the quantum level.... posted by alan m. kafton on July 18, 2015 at 21:32:58:
would you care to elaborate on just what it is you are talking about?"There is SO MUCH MORE going on than the textbook characteristics of L, C, and R, which are too often used to argue against phenomena occurring with sonic differences in cabling, computer audio playback, and various accessories that cannot be readily explained. In other words, to some, if it isn't in a textbook, it doesn't exist."
Maybe it's not in the textbook because the distinctions, if any, are so trivial they don't matter?
"Some of the major problems....what do you test for? How does one create the test? And how does one test what cannot yet be measured? Writing off the phenomena in wholesale fashion, as so many naysayers regularly do, adds nothing to further scientific discovery."
The major issue with audio is that recordings are made by tiny microphones which are energized by sound waves only where the microphones are present. This is a thread bare record of the original event which you can prove to yourself by simply attending a concert and turning your head from side to side while enjoying the event. After obtaining this one dimensional representation of a three dimensional event, the resultant electrical signal is then played back through transducers that in no way energize the listening room the way the original instruments did.
Worrying about "quantum level" stuff is completely beside the point. The issue is how better to capture the original event and how to improve transducers to better represent it.
