Those are the luckiest guys in the world
The same is true in every hobby. Eg people buy 32"TVs while others buy projector setups worth thousands of dollars, or US$100 use and throw cameras vs medium format system which cost US$10k+ for a basic kit.
I am sorry but I am not getting what you are trying to say. My example was referring to people who used a cheap DVD player as CDP and Behringer Amp vs Classe, YBA, Wadia and MIT.
Forget apple to apple comparison this is not even fruit to any other fruit comparison. Do you sincerely believe stereotyping all of them as one bunch is a correct thing to do!
LOL
To illustrate how poor is our hearing. Ask someone to play the same track everyday at 0.1dB difference and you try to guess the correct level. 0.1dB is too small? Ok...make it 1dB .
The next significant sound level is +/- 3 dB (from a given reference level). Human hearing acuity is not blessed with the ability to distinguish 0.1 dB difference (or even 1 dB), but most people can make out a difference when difference is of the order of 3 dB.
Hi Ambio
You are the one who mentioned you know people who can't hear any difference between a USD 700 and a USD 12000 player. I never mentioned anything. I think there is a huge difference between these two level of players
Really? The measurable difference in CDP is lesser than 0.1dB....
I think this threads should go on till we reach a closure. Here is one more prove which you can repeat at home and disprove.
$2000 Benchmark vs $2 Realtek Audio Codec. Sorry...again you cant tell. You are free to disprove this at your leisure.
People have the capacity to think for themselves and decide whether to suffer neurosis or enjoy music by buying what's relevant based on science.
Hi ambio
It appears you don't trust your own ears. You need blind tests done to convince you of something. Good for you.
