I completely agree with the issues raised in the article and find it quite well reasoned. There are infinite ways that our perception can be colored, as the article concludes. I think that most rational people will agree. Note that the author refers to phenomena at the edges of our perception but stops short of condemning all subjectively perceived differences. There are those of us that are convinced that there are differences in the sound of wires, whether they can be scientifically quantified, or not. But this does not mean that we should not be vigilant about the ease with which our perceptions can be altered by outside means.
Food for thought for all us audiophiles
Hello fellow Audiogon members,
I came upon this article the other day. I'm afraid the sentiments revealed in it are all too common to those on the outside of our hobby.
Cheers,
