Routers, how do they sound?

[Wes]

So why do people say they hear a more Orgasmic/ organic sound with the LPS and so on? Can they hear 100 angels on a pin head singing?

MAK

it's called "confirmation bias"

you are told you will hear, see, or feel something - and then you do

the power of suggestion is strong, and is why we use placebos when something matters, like a drug trial

 

[Wes]

Routers always make a sound when running, but it varies with the type of wood you are working on

Anybody looking to their router to provide something "orgasmic" needs to look at their sex life!

I almost went there... My router has not seen much use the past few years, alas...

 

[Wes]

I waited a while to go there

maybe we need a Show Me Your Routers thread?

I use Google Maps sometimes to find my route and trace my progress.

so that's 3 type of routers that can be posted on the Show Me Your Routers thread

I waited too.

I was going to say, mine is so loud I always wear earmuffs.

 

[Wes]

maybe it has too much jitter?

 

[restorer-john]

It does make me wonder, when did you Americans change the pronunciation from root to rowt?

You don't say "get your kicks on rowt 66" do you?

Curious about others thoughts on routers and their impact on audio reproduction. I see people powering them with a LPS and big buck cables. Swearing over their mothers grave they can hear improvements. Anyone have any measurements to show an improvement in the waveform from the dac, or pre-amp possibly. I did a search and didn't find anything. Maybe I answered why just now.

Your thoughts please!

MAK

Absolutely no impact whatsoever.

The roto-rooter router routed the roots.

Both pronunciations are accepted and interchangeable for "route". Guess we're just contrary like that!

We use it both ways.

Depending upon what, I can't seen pin down linguistically.

In Australia, is the little box a rooter or rowter? Rowter here.

I wonder if Reuters has a router ranking?

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I am certain that routers are the pathways to orgasmic experiences for many, many people. Or so I’ve heard...

 

[racerxnet]

Thanks everyone for the replies. There was a exchange on another form which peaked my interest.

I keep fighting back at it.

I have tested them and they don't. Our imagination is quite strong. If I told an audiophile a different sock they wear would make their audio sound better, they would do that and indeed "hear" a difference. That is no evidence then of sound waves changing from their systems.

In fact, the mantra is “everything makes a difference”: https://www.hifiplus.com/articles/computer-audio-everything-makes-a-difference/

We really need a laughing comment rather than just a "like"
