What's the point of measuring USB cables, the signal is either there or not (0/1)... .
Something of a nightmare on the science side this time.
Snake oil as far as the eye can see…Oh this is more fun than you could ever dream of.... Check out their website.... Jpslabs.Com. Start making your Christmas list.
Because he is a troll - eloquent, maybe - but a troll nonetheless.Why don’t you try responding to any of the actually decent questions that were directed at you? If you want a decent discussion, that’s the proper start.
Has amirm actually tested any snakes? I've notice high levels of hiss and a few have even rattled when stressed!Snake oil as far as the eye can see…
Apple.....right.Sort of negates the statement that they obsolete products.
I'm also typing this on a 10yo air. About to upgrade, and am mightily pissed off at the price apple is charging for the 32gb ram upgrade. But similar performance windows machines are heading towards similar prices, and I've never owned a windows laptop that is usable beyond 5 years.
So I'm probably going to have to hold my nose and pony up for a new macbook pro.
What? Apple is a company and Windows is an operating system. You simply cannot compare companies with operating systems.I have owned 5 windows laptops, none live beyond 3 years, since 2011 I have bought 3 Apple laptops all of them are still alive.
Heh yeah. The first article I read neglected to mention that, but even so I'm sure someone would try it if they're spending this much on cables in the desperate hope of improving the sound.I see a problem having to run some 10 kbar pipes running to my speakers.
Is that for >1 user? I'm typing this on a 2012 MacBook Pro bought as a refurb in 2013.Apple.....right.
Many people complain about apple but it seems to me they lack some objectivity. To determine a product has shortcomings you need a point of reference. If there was a laptop with the reliability, power and longevity of an apple laptop, at a lower price, then certainly I would complain too, but do we have that point of reference?.

What if a cable vendor truly believes that his magical cable is magical sounding? Is he lying then?My point exactly.
If I had a product that I'm absolulety confident to present an objective performance and value proposition and see/hear about anyone claiming to objectively prove otherwise, I would intervene to show them the error of their ways. I believe anyone who's confident in their product would.
By not engaging in here, they cease to stand by their claim, which is the equivalent of admitting that they're STRAIGHT OUT LYING to their customers.
That's a good philosophical question. I guess if they truly believe in mysterious X Factor stuff, they aren't exactly lying. Just kind of goofy.What if a cable vendor truly believes that his magical cable is magical sounding? Is he lying then?
Still yes, unless they make it explicitly clear that their claim is purely based on subjective belief in magic.What if a cable vendor truly believes that his magical cable is magical sounding? Is he lying then?
The point @Hatto was making is : if they truly believe - why are they not "intervening to show us the error of our ways"? It is a valid question.What if a cable vendor truly believes that his magical cable is magical sounding? Is he lying then?
Indeed. Which is worse: a fantasist who genuinely believes in nonsense, or a liar who knows it's nonsense but claims to believe it anyway.That's a good philosophical question. I guess if they truly believe in mysterious X Factor stuff, they aren't exactly lying. Just kind of goofy.
"subjective belief in magic."? Can there be any other kind?Still yes, unless they make it explicitly clear that their claim is purely based on subjective belief in magic.
Someone witnessing a sleight of hand trick for the first time might mistake their real-world observation (in absence of universal awareness) as evidence and claim objective belief in magic."subjective belief in magic."? Can there be any other kind?
What get me happens when a magician shows a viewer the mechanism behind the trick, but the viewer discounts that and still believes that magic was responsible for the trick's outcome.Someone witnessing a sleight of hand trick for the first time might mistake their real-world observation (in absence of universal awareness) as evidence and claim objective belief in magic.
When someone who geniunely believed magic to be responsible for the observed event is exposed to the actual mechanism behind the trick, it triggers cognitive dissonance. Weak minds would disregard factual evidence in order not to face the reality that they've been wrong right from the start, to preserve he integrity of their insecure nature.What get me happens when a magician shows a viewer the mechanism behind the trick, but the viewer discounts that and still believes that magic was responsible for the trick's outcome.

That's when it turns into subjective belief in magic.
