Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

You must believe in anything subtle to hear the truth

As a pro billiards player, if you don't think you will pocket the ball then you won't most of the time. Billiards is similar to placebo so I know the feeling very well. You try to predict/imagine things that are not there in order to get closer to your highest performance level. But that doesn't mean your highest level is 100% placebo, you just need some of it to reach it...

The difference between cables is only subtle at first, but as your brain adjusts to it it becomes bigger. However, for inexperienced audiophiles the first impression is 100% placebo most of the time. When I started in this hobby I couldn't hear a difference when I bought my first amp which made me a skeptic! But then my ears/brain started improving and I heard the truth.

I have learned to compare my components with a brutally honest and neutral state of mind, and now I know the truth. I don't care what anyone else thinks because that's their truth and not mine!
