Indeed. A well-documented phenomenon.

After more than seven thousand posts, this ongoing discussion could be considered comparable to being at school where children vie for recognition by trying to rub shoulders with the âcoolâ kids and becoming part of their circle. When there are comments that a person could not hear a difference, the counter argument is usually either they have an inadequate setup or their system is not revealing enough. It could also be considered that there is no difference and it is all in the imagination. Like I have said before, some people believe the world is flat hence some people may appear convinced that there is an improvement.

I didnât detect anything particularly scientific about IBâs statements. Just plain common sense.
I would however note in passing, that just because some event HAS a scientific explanation, it doesnât automatically mean that the event doesnât happen or that the explanation is flawed !

I wrote â scientific doubtsâ⌠you didnât understood apparently.
Some people here, when going to a restaurant, should before make double blind test for each food on the menu, and test it in a laboratory.
After they will sayâ now I know what I like and preferred in the menu â.
If it was said as that â I donât hear differences â, we would not argue. Why argue in that case? Some people hear, other not.
What we argue is those saying that differences SHOULD NOT EXIST and that those who hear differences are probably fooled by their ears and brain.

Do you have golden ears frenchrooster? You give me the impression that we should all believe your experiences as concrete evidence eventhough it is only your opinion/experience.

I understood perfectly well and responded accordingly. Thank you.
I donât think so. But thanks for responding.
If I were alone, it would be ridiculous to argue. These threads come and come again since many years, and hundreds of members have experienced burn in here.
And on many other forums.

You have provided me examples of anecdotal evidence. Please answer my question, do you have golden ears?

Iâm using a white 2960 CPD. Since Iâm also then going through a pair of opticalModules Iâm hesitant to try an etherRegen as it could be very close or a wash (different company but same designer). The sound Iâm getting is great so will stay there at the moment. Dollars better spent elsewhere (audio or otherwise).

That is quite different! Whilst I acknowledge that in your post you said âsome peopleâ and may not include me in that, it is worth repeating that I do not doubt what anything sounds like to you at the time when you hear it (= the taste today when someone tastes the food). And my references to a desirability of blind testing have related to comparing two versions of generically the same thing, such as one wire compared with another (or one switch compared with another, etc). The restaurant parallel is, for example, comparing one chefâs beurre blanc against another chefâs: and indeed to be truly valid that should be side by side without knowing which chef is which. (And if concerned purely with taste rather than the whole eating experience it would need to be blindfolded to take appearance out of the equationâŚ)
I think so and my friends and family say the same for my golden ears.
However no need to have golden ears, just good ears.
Would you invest in your Nd555/ twin 555dr if you had very average hearing?
Or perhaps some do that by snobismâŚ
I understand 100%.
I was sarcasticâŚand not specially referring to you.
If @Peder, @Michaelb, or @Darkebear donât help me here, I give up.
I have to prepare my dinner now. A bit late todayâŚ
It will be that ( beef, yellow egg, oignon, milk, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper) , some curry rice and vegetables.
Contrary to cables, if I leave my dinner out of the fridge for some days, it will not taste better. But perhaps should I make a double blind test for that âŚ

You are indeed a unique individual since you have confirmed that you consider your hearing to be beyond that of everyone else.
