Comment on In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud

  Which are all of them who claim to hear a difference.

  Try it yourself.
  Have a some switch between them for you. Bet you can’t tell either.

    We made test once with a friend, where we could hear a difference.

    The setup was a Denon reciever, and one speaker was connected with a random cable, the other one is a pure copper, braided audiophile cable. The pc was connected with toslink to the reciever. Played the music as mono, and we switched between the left-right speakers.

    The only difference we could hear were very high pitched glockenspiel sounds from a flac file. That’s all. Any other music sounded the same. But the point was, there is a very little difference, even it’s rare to find a song where you can actually hear it.

    This was the thing where it was clearly audible, but I guess you can’t hear it on youtube, as mp3 already cuts off that high pitches: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Kh-3xkye6A

  I love how autistic lemmy is.

  The Internet is a weird place where people know how to read without actually understanding what they’re reading.

  Reading everything literally has to be the most confusing thing in the world. Though it does make The Onion a bit better.
