[QUOT="amirm, post: 687619, member: 2"]Among the ones we both know, I don't know any that are so. Remember what they say, "I trust my ears." Damn the brain in between them....
You and I have discussed this before with no resolution. Indeed we have no choice. We must trust our ear/brain. Can a cook not trust his taste buds? Can an artist not trust his eyes?
Psychoacoustics easily explains that. There is not an explanation in the world that explains this "noise harvester" improves your audio. Yet our common friends would think it can and does ("everything matters"). Heck, some think putting a coaster under your gear for $300 each will do that even better! According to them, such has the power to go beyond stereo reproduction and put you in the live stage of music reproduction!
Again you generalize from the specific. I have no experience with the Noise Harvester. Nor do I offer a specific defense of the Noise Harvester. It is your editorial comments I tooisk sue with. They are decidedly "unscientific" but you present them as though they are.
You have to accept that they are sensing something in changing their gear no mater how useless that thing is. If so, then my original statement is correct: a false sense of improvement fades away and motivates them to repeat the cycle.
I have no idea what they are sensing. Nor do I know the product or people of which you speak. That makes it difficult or impossible to rebut. This is a hobby. There may be any number of valid reasons to change equipment. The number one reason is does not match real music in real space. You may simply have more money. Todays' exception becomes tomorrows standard. We tend to accept the methodology that supports our preconceived ideas. That's human nature.[/QUOTE[/QUOTE]
