Comment on Audio cable measurements are driving me crazy — why don’t they null?!?
Damarus@feddit.org 23 hours agoAdding to this, as I have now skimmed over the original video in question by ANA[DIA]LOG: He already introduces the topic by clearly stating that he is strongly biased towards “cables make a difference”, I can only assume he lacks the necessary fundamentals about what a cable does. He describes his test track to have “a lot of frequencies”. We don’t know about the gear he used, and he chose a singular test which cant’ be replicated as it has too many muddying variables. The data he shared had to be sanitized by you, to even give any chance of an objective interpretation, which really is impossible in these circumstances. When his test shows some differences, rather than being surprised and questioning the sanity of his test-setup, he just accepts the result that satisfies his bias. This is not science, this is a grifter trying to sell snake oil to the gullible.

Yeah, you’re right. I should have just stopped when he said his source was a CD player, meaning he had no pure digital copy (i.e., no control) to compare too. Or, at least, he didn’t provide one… I get hung up on things easily. Thanks, though, you’re 100% right
