In Reply to: RE: "almost anything audio" - just stay away from anti-audiophile BS he's known to perpetuate. posted by carcass93 on December 09, 2014 at 15:20:29
Anti -Audiophile? What does that mean? Why would what he states in your link make him an anti-audiophile?
If I believe and trust that (most) cables do not change the signal audibly - am I an anti-Audiophile?

The math that shows that cables can make a difference is not profound.
They certainly can make a difference!
And there are ways to prevent them from doing that, again by applying math.
... how vocal you are about your convictions, which amount to simple lack of experience with cables in a context of a resolving system . The same goes for amplifiers, capacitors, and whatever else he doesn't think matters for sonic results.
If you are as vocal as Elliott, devoting multiple pages on his web site to this clueless gargabe - you certainly are anti-audiophile.
Yeah, I though Audiophiledom was about the experience of listening and enjoying recorded music. Correct me if it is not.
I completely understand and have experienced the effect cables can have on perception of reproduced sound. I also know that is has absolutely nothing to do with changes in the signal! One experience is complete independent of the other. You can search my comments and understanding of the experience of reproduced music. There are engineers and scientist out there - not just cult-like convicted arrogant folks like you that might believe I can't have the exact same enjoyable experience listening to Bartok on my MMG's, HK Receiver, $600 Crown Pro Amps, standard power cords and Walmart and Monoprice sourced under $10 interconnects - Engineers and scientist dating back to Helmholz (yeah that guy) and more recently, Heyser - that worked diligently to not only address the correct ways to measure audio equipment but also understand whty measurements of signals do not correlate well with the observations of man (or woman).
I would like to even submit that you would enjoy the experience on my system.

"I also know that is has absolutely nothing to do with changes in the signal! "
Beg your pardon but it has everything with changes in the signal. What else would it be...unless you are saying that it is pure psychological?
I do not participate in discussions with opponents who are irrational, in addition to lacking experience with the matters discussed, sorry.
When you listen to a recorded signal on your playback equipment it your primary interest or desire to:
A. recreate a life-like event in your listening room - with the multiple dimensions that implies?
B. Review the recording for it's production characteristics or the artist(s)' performance abilities
C. Observe the fidelity and or preservation of the intent of the performer and the producer your reproduction system provides?
You can pick one or more or add another.
