Re: You seem to have a problem with reading comprehension

Hardly anyone denies that different cables and interconnects may make an audible difference under some circumstances. You have consistently refused to tell me who holds such a position, much less providing any refences, apparently relying on your overall impressions. You keep beating this dead horse (you are not alone in this).


There are numerous instances on AR where people are unqualifiedly advised that they are wasting their money if they buy cables at any place other than Home Depot, Radio Shack, WalMart, etc. I view that type of advice to be a statement that audible differences do not exist.

In addition, a while back, a poster at AR said:

If you do believe they are better, buy nicer cables and YOU will hear a difference..

Mtrycrafts responded:

No. They will only perceive a difference. Hearing and perceiving are not the same events.

He is clearly stating that the only differences between cables are based on perception, not actual hearing. He does not allow for the possibility that the differences perceived were actually heard. Mtrycrafts is generally pretty careful to say anything that will allow someone to pin him down on his beliefs, but occasionally he slips and reveals his true belief on wires.

The AR cable forum is far too sluggish for me to look for more.


However, to reason that because there may be a difference that therefore there must be an audible difference in your system is not valid. One cannot validly reason from possibility to actuality.

Please point to one instance where I have ever argued that as a valid proposition?

I personally see no reason to have equipment where in normal use a line level signal is likely to be much affected by a difference in interconnects.

I'll leave it to the techies to address that issue.
