Probably a pertinent time to mention - people can actually be fooled in audio!Wow. So that really happened? Is that legal what that company from Switzerland did?
Humans do not have good auditory memory.
If anyone said "hey, this $30,000 Goldmund sounds no better than a cheap Pioneer", they would have been hit with the usual pejoratives of "have an open mind" and "obviously your system is not revealing enough" and "you've got tin-ears - go buy an LG sound bar"........
It also poses an interesting question: How many other brands are implicitly implicated here? I mean, how many people compared the $30,000 Goldmund to a $35,000 CH Precision, DarTZeel, Zanden et al; and thought the Goldmund sounded best?
But you know - people also used to think green pens were "essential".
And if anyone is old enough to remember the GSIC then you'll know what I mean.
Fits in pretty well with what we are discussing here.
I'll sum up by saying this: I don't think anyone can deny that there is a lot of snake oil in audio. Some stuff may not be - but when you conflate that against the many well-proven ways we can objectively achieve better sound - I know where I'm going to put my efforts.
Oh - and I still want to know how you can "re-clock" unclocked data?
