Re: Several comments…

Thanks for taking the time to post a considered response.

> As I said, his comments on individual items make no mention of hearing them.

As far as I can see he has not claimed to have heard any but the ones he has owned. But why, based on his experience, would he need to hear them to know the unsubstantiated claims are almost certainly false and the advice of the technically educated about what is audible is almost certainly correct? There is substantial evidence and personal experience at one end of the scale and unsupported claims at the other. Given this, most people would start to draw some conclusions and, possibly, get a bit defensive although this would depend to some degree on what lead to the original purchases.

> I will say that the only item I have tried on his list are the cable elevators, and I think they do work noticeably with some cables but not with others.

Can I ask how you came to this conclusion and if you have a high confidence in it? Why do you feel so many apparently well informed people disagree and without feeling the need to test?

> I think they insulate cables from static electricity in carpets and some cables seem to be noticably affected by static electricity while others don't.

Why do you feel the need to appeal to science for an explanation when you have gone against conventional scientific reasoning in being able to hear a difference? Don't you feel the explanation may lie somewhere else?
