Don't worry Chris I will be moving on, your recent attitude has been somewhat biased... I do know what provoked this recent inquisition, I am sure you will all be happy with no opposing views or only technical input that supports the viewpoint...

Its how music reproduction works and recording, the kit is all engineered at the end of the day.

I have never had a crusade as you put it...

The funny thing is in all this, is that at the end of the day, Designing electronics and speakers to replay music is objective/engineering based, especially the digital side of things. Anyone remember the old adage, hi-fi amplifier should be like a “bit of wire with gain”. Nothing added/nothing subtracted for the signal in to the signal out.

????? This is (or was) an open forum, not just some random conversation in the street... Again its down to not upsetting beliefs or challenging them if incorrect.

Who are you a plant? You seem to have appeared from nowhere as a protector of the subjective's... What does worry me is you seem to have a fetish for the letters A,H & S and the asterisk symbol! Is your keyboard defective of do you just like implying insults to certain people...😀 To put it bluntly the majority of your posts are designed to be insulting...

To be perfectly honest, I find it all a bit pathetic and trowing the dummy out of the pram, considering the numerous claims its just a hobby, so many take it so seriously, it brings a smile to my otherwise miserable visage. If it is a hobby take it less seriously, if its not a hobby then it becomes a religion, dangerous. Which is it?

I'd go one further, get all their personal details and start a class action case for libellous content designed to upset my hard held beliefs!

Sorry I didn't write a huge reply, to a simple question. Read your reply its got all the usual stuff... You are scientifically trained... is it relative, I presume its not in electronics or physics... Sorry but this actually applies to subjective's and probably more so. I learnt that perception can easily be fooled so I don't rely on my listening experiences alone...

Sorry, could you be a bit more concise in you reply, to many words to little content. Thanks🙂 So I presume you are saying that however silly a claim is; it CANNOT be questioned because it may ruin your enjoyment!

What questioning beliefs that are not backed up by science or engineering... I could go on about how I have seen hi-fi dwindle from readily available systems in the likes of Curry's, Walmart etc. to where we are now... directional fuses for one... You comment does say a lot though on where you want this site to go, you claim an open mind, but you language says different... Again why do the hard core subjective beliefs need so much protection from questioning?

Yes CENSORSHIP that's the way forward so No claim however daft it is can be questioned, and thus the manufacturers get richer....

But it is OK to read the same subjective statement a million times... Why do you have to hide behind the teachers legs, provide proof, explanations and fight science with science, because music reproduction is science... Making and creating music is art, capturing, recording and playback is engineering.

This has been going on for months now, a once lively forum has become a dull place where only the correct viewpoint is acceptable... Why do some subjective beliefs and claims have to be defended so vigorously one wonders...

Velocity factor tells you how fast the waves propagate through the wire, a VF of 1 means the signal speed is approx 300mm/ns so VF=1 a 1m interconnect would have a propagation time of 3.33ns... The difference for the cables listed is from 5ns to 3.9ns, even a two m interconnect is not going to be an issue.
