Kimber KS 1036 Silver RCA Cable Review

[srkbear]

Are they also the doctors that smoke?

Perhaps Amir once worked with a retailer that was next door to a hospital? In Beverly Hills?

 

[srkbear]

Medical doctors don't tend to do any research themselves.

Huh? Who do you think is performing medical research then, Kimber Kable?

Does this count?

 

[srkbear]

No, living on a diet of vodka & oxycontin while trying to impress new nursing staff makes them susceptible to audio bs

May I suggest that you consider finding a new doctor? My colleagues don’t appear to be popping pills and swigging from flasks between patients at my hospital, but I do admit that I haven’t been paying attention…

Does this count?

If that place sells Kimber they better have great insurance!

[Chrispy]

There are six people who voted “great” for this. Just for your existential contemplation.

Sad, isn't it?

Hang with them after hours and see what happens

That would be reasonable if one of the options wasn’t “a waste of money” I guess. If that were the case I suppose I would have gone for “fair”, since something simply functioning is sort of a null hypothesis standard. But then again I’ve never been much of an iconoclast…

... or ironist.

The Earth was known to be flat for thousands of years. There are literally countless examples of known fact that are constantly being overturned with new knowledge.

So, if 2 cables were randomly blind tested, and several people noticed a difference every time… but they measured exactly the same… what then? BTW.. I’m not saying measurements are bad. I’m just saying that the ear is also a measurement device, and can’t be totally discounted.

The human ear is one of the most unreliable of our senses, especially when subjected to complex information. Much of what we hear subjectively is extensively post-processed by a bunch of diverse foci in our brains, to help us sort out a slew of simultaneous events that vibrate our ear drums across a range of frequencies and volumes, are positioned in a near infinite array of spatial locations, and are sprayed with a deluge of harmonics.

What we hear is biased by emotional states, memories of past events, anxiety, anticipation, distraction, age, positioning, anatomical differences, and most importantly, cognitive bias. Just as we find in taste testing, recent heard events can fatigue our ability to discern differences in subsequent events. Auditory stimuli involve a multitude of neurochemical reactions in synapses that take time to fully restore to baseline, and especially when we are listening intently with repeated exposures, these pathways may become overwhelmed—leading our brains to fill in suboptimal or corrupt data with what we expect to hear, at the great cost of accuracy. All of this has been elucidated in innumerable studies across a range of scientific disciplines.

Certain audio manufacturers handily exploit our ears’ susceptibility to bias to great profit—evidence of which can be found to a staggering degree over on that “other” forum. I joined this one with stubbornness and my head stuffed with decades of marketing apocrypha, and by eventually recognizing that I’m surrounded here by a wealth of extremely knowledgeable and experienced experts who were beholden to no one, and by opening my mind to listening for awhile, I’ve been rewarded with a knock out system that saved me a ton of cash. And the guidance I received came with no strings attached or self-serving motives.

Of course it’s your choice. If you’ve got a surfeit of disposable cash and love your system, by all means, enjoy your cables. Peace…

Scientists rather than doctors. Some doctors do research but most treat patients.

You do realise a medical doctorate in a relevant field is mighty useful for getting a leading research position? Rumor has it, it's a requirement.

Absolutely. However, most doctors don't do research.

Yowzer...can this thread spin any further from its original intent?

You forgot alcohol

I’m one of those doctors who performs research, and many docs participate in clinical trials. The majority of medical research is performed by doctors (we are scientists). This is way off-topic, so I’ll leave this here—I’m sorry that your experience with healthcare has been led to a negative perception of physicians. Peace.

How could I forget that one!

Sad, isn't it?

I think your sarcasometer needs tuning.

As required, as required.

Would you say most physicians perform research?
