In Reply to: Do Hi End Power Cords make a diffence on Plasma/LCD? posted by dusted on March 16, 2007 at 19:55:35:
Hi-End aftermarket powercords don't make a difference on anything.

...and/or different ideas.Here's one that's appropriate to this subject--just because YOU think sonic differences can't exist or can't hear the differences doesn't mean differences don't exist. As you can tell from my signature, I'm no Golden-Eared Audiofile*, so I can't hear lots of subtle differences that others can, but I've been around enough GEAs and run listening tests on ICs, etc., that demonstrated to me that differences do indeed exist and that the GEAs hear them well enough to be statistically reliable.
Open your ears and mind--you'll learn new things. :-)
* One of my English-simplification 'campaigns' is to replace F-sounding PHs with Fs.

This issue has been gone over before. But I always enjoy the discussion.Maybe our electrical engineering texts are wrong and someone will mention the audio-marketers that first brought the discrepency to the fore when accepting his or her Nobel. That, or like Slick 50 engine treatment, or shitaki stones, or magnets, or green pens ... or any other magical device, it will be relegated to another example of our fallability.
Either the world is knowable by reason - or it aint. Pick your camp.

...or they LISTEN. Wow, THERE'S an idea...actually LISTENING to a piece of equipment designed to be listened to. WOW!

You are NOT ... an audiophile yet.
Wrong.
Well- they shure do on my solid state amps.Oh I forgot-this is the Video Asylum where mid-fi crap is often confused with hi end audio/video gear.
Yeah, you must be a real audiophile, modern style, otherwise you wouldn't use snobby marketing terms like "mid-fi" in normal conversation.
...of the general level of quality of home-audio/video equipment.Tom, audiophiles aren't 'normal'. Most of us are obsessive, compulsive, emotional people who love music, reproduced and otherwise, and spend an unreasonable proportion of their time thinking and talking about this stuff, on forums and otherwise. I've heard the term midfi often in those conversations.
Enjoy the music and try not to get too hung up on little annoyances on these forums*; life will indeed be happpier.
* I'm the first to admit that I do write a lot about writing on these forums, but I try hard to be polite and not sarcastic.

Yep. Recently, I have heard a lot of people(not on the forum)professing to be "an audiophile", and when asked about equipment, they always lead with something like " I have the Denon AVR blah blah blah"......
