Everything sounds the same

[mansr]

All components (and cables) sound exactly alike. There are no differences between a $5 clock radio and the finest system money can buy. If you have evidence to the contrary, you are not permitted to say so in this thread. We like our beliefs and wish to keep them undisturbed by reality.

Go away. Nobody here wants to hear your rational arguments.

If I come onto  a food forum and ask for directions about how to fry chicken, it's rude to start lecturing me about why I should be a vegetarian. Do egos have to be so big and unrestrained online that that isn't obvious? That debate shouldn't be in that thread. 

Flawed analogy. The USB cable thread was more akin to someone going to a food forum and asking which brand of salt tastes better, the $100/kg or the $500/kg. When someone points out that the $1/kg salt is exactly the same, he gets angry.

As far as salt, different types of salt can have different trace elements, and different grain/crystal sizes.

Are you suggesting the water in the food remembers the size of salt grains after they have dissolved.

So specifically with salt  as an example; typical table salt can have a different taste than a much larger grained salt such as kosher salt. Both are chemically identical, but the different physical properties can change how they taste to us.

That is true provided the grains enter the mouth while solid. If they are dissolved in food during its preparation, there will be no difference.

You started it with your flawed chicken example.

 

Your insults are unwelcome and quite ironic given the context of this thread. Now, please go away.

Wrong. The spread in the food is very different for the larger grains vs the smaller, no matter the total weight is equal.

Are you seriously claiming that if 1 gram of salt is dissolved in 1 litre of water and stirred, there will be some difference depending on the grain size of the salt? Do you also believe in homoeopathy?

Of course it was, and of course the usual culprits had to go and ruin the fun.

You seem to have the disorder of forming your own prerequisites so you next can claim to be correct on that.

Referring to yourself in the second person again, I see.

When one uses it as a condiment directly on food, the size of the salt crystals does change the experience of eating that dish.

I'm not disputing that. I even keep both course and fine salt in my cupboard. Still, you can get salt with just about any grain size and shape for a very modest amount of money, or you can pay through your nose for what amounts to the same thing. Just like with cables.

I'm struggling to follow. Is "salt" a euphemism for a "usb cable"? And does "food" stand for "DAC"? "Eating that dish" is what, "listening"? Help me out here.

And "size of crystals" is sample rate.

That stuff obviously contains a lot of something other than salt. It is to table salt what those MIT "cables" with boxes and knobs are to a plain interconnect.

That strikes me as an inefficient place to collect salt.

Well like cooking you can have cookbook recipes.  You just have to read the recipe.  For great sound you can do something of the same.  Some people just read the wrong recipes.  Worse once they've read the recipes and even tried a few of them out, they think that is enough to make them top notch experts on cooking.  One can make the leap, but it takes more than just recipes and luck.  

And some don't realise that the recipe calls for Himalayan Quantum Salt only because it was published by the manufacturer of said product, and any old salt would work just as well.
