RE: Ordered some..will see (nt)

Audiophiles are a curious bunch

They 'believe' better sound is achievable, as evidenced by their constant buying [upgrading, tweaking etc]....but are never convinced when someone claims to have achieved better sound.

In essence they believe something to be true, but deny anyone who claims to have actually made it happen.


Then there are those who can imagine better sound just by reading numbers. I even read a post where someone could actually here jitter in the Pico-seconds....ie That is one trillionth, or one millionth of one millionth of a second, or 0.000 000 000 001 seconds.


Amazing!!!

For example, these days your Dac is crap if it doesn't have a "Femto-second" clock. DACs with clocks with only accuracy in the Pico-seconds just don't sound as good due to all that nasty jitter. People will swear they can easily hear a Femtosecond clock vs a Picosecond clock. Femtosecond - A femtosecond is equal to 1000 attoseconds, or 1/1000 picosecond...wow! Imagine that!!! 50+ year old ears that can hear that well, when hearing only gets worse with age. I'd imagine they could hear so well at 20yr old that they could hear what people were thinking.

And wire is another story....6N silver all over the place....which is actually purer than anyone can achieve. But hey, an Audiophile can easily hear the difference between 4N [probably the most expensive and purest] vs the magical 6N.
