If anyone should keep an open mind you of all people should.
I AM keeping an open mind. Yours is the mind that is closed.
I keep my mind open to ALL possibilities. Including the possibility that our subjectively perceived differences may due to something other than actual audible differences.
You seem to have limited yourself to just the one possibility, that the Clarifier actually does something to the disc that results in actual audible differences.
To exclude or dismiss out of hand other, very well established possibilities is the very definition of closed mindedness.
If one was to read your two responses to my posts they might come away with the idea that you think tweaks are voodoo.
Only someone who was overly defensive or perhaps a bit paranoid and as a consequence read more into what I said than what I actually wrote.
You will attract more bees with honey than vinegar.
I don't wish to attract anything. All I said was that just because we subjectively perceive differences doesn't inherently mean that those differences are due to actual audible differences. It seems to me that only those with closed minds would see that as vinegar.
I can tell you I have found there is a difference in sound between ICs and speaker cables. Do you want to argue that point.
I don't know. What exactly is your argument? If all you're saying is that you've subjectively perceived differences between different interconnects and speaker cables, then I've nothing to argue as I don't doubt that you have. I have as well.
If you're making the objective claim that there are actual audible differences between different interconnects and speaker cables, then I would ask what objective evidence you have to substantiate your claim.
Look, I subjectively perceive differences myself. And it was those subjectively perceived differences among other things which guided my choices when developing the interconnects that I designed.
However I don't know with any certainty that my subjectively pereceived differneces had anything to do with actual audible differences. It's certainly within the realm of possibility that they are not. And to that end I don't make any objective claims which cannot be substantiated with objective evidence.
But at the end of the day, I don't really care why I might perceive what I perceive. For me, audio isn't any sort of utilitarian or academic pursuit. What I pursue is my own hedonistic subjective pleasure and I ultimately don't care how that pleasure comes about.
If someone were to prove beyond any doubt that the differneces I perceive have nothing to do with actual audible differences, other than simply satisfying my idle curiousity about the issue, I would continue duing what I've been doing.
Anyway, I simply don't understand why some people seem to feel so threatened by the possibility that our subjective perceptions may be due to something other than actual audible differences. Is it vanity? Ego? What?
