Audiophilia - From skeptic to believer

JonnyFive said:
So do you believe that, with proper training, one could get one's eye to observe infrared light? Do you think you could train your eye to read the smallest line on a standard eye chart at two-hundred feet?

If you believe you are capable of such things, perhaps you might wish to demonstrate them under controlled conditions? There is this man - James Randi - who I believe offers a substantial amount of money to those who can perform such feats of derring-do.

I don't believe I can be anymore upfront with you, yet you still refer to the "brainwashed" generic skeptics. If that is going to be your attitude, then I fear we have little common ground upon which to sow the seeds of productive discourse.

Just because the incomplete books say it's impossible doesn't make it impossible.
How can anyone know what a human sees really comes from the eyes? And how can they know what they see is really the truth? If eyes distort the picture from 200 feet away, then it distorts the picture up close as well. It's limited way of thinking to believe that just because something is closer it's more true. What the human sees from a mile away is equally wrong as what he sees from 10 feet away. But the human has made himself believe that just because the text is more clear it is more "true". Since he thinks it's more true he starts reading books...

The only way something can be true is if you see all at once. Just seeing into another galaxy isn't enough, you need to see all the galaxies at the same time, that's the only way you can understand how they all work together. You need to remove the human body and start doing some deep thinking in order to see it all.
If you see something that happens a mile away, does it come from the physical eyes or knowledge of the Universe? It's not impossible to see a mile away. The physical eyes could be just a guide for the knowledge deep within yourself. How can you know it's really the eyes that see what you are seeing?

It's like when you are reading the same text again, even if it's blurry you already know what it says and you can read it from further away. It is knowledge, and knowledge can be trained.
There is no such thing as seeing things for the first time, because all knowledge already exists in the Universe. Everyone already sees everything, but they are delusional into believing their vision is limited. They have forgotten the knowledge, that's why they can't read text 200 feet away. If they remember the knowledge again, then they can read from 200 feet away. It's not impossible, you just need to know the big picture of how the Universe works together, you need to start from the root of the tree instead of the leaves of the branches, you need to see the whole tree at once and not parts of it. If you start from the root, eventually the whole tree appears. That's the difference between me and you, I start from the root and skeptics start from the leaves, they don't know that they are part of a tree, they only see leaves because their vision is "limited".

You have destroyed equipment even when told that the paper you use may short out your equipment and/or cause overheating, this shows that you have a great inability learn from others.

Like I said, I don't believe anyone but myself. ERS Paper wasn't the reason why my system broke. It was the stiff Valhalla interconnect that eventually broke my system. Now I have sliced it open and separated all the conductors, it's easier to hardwire.

You should go into politics, you have a great ability to blab on and on and to say nothing at all.

I don't want to reinvent a primitive device like the wheel. I don't even want to invent flying cars or spaceships because they are still primitive forms of transportation. They are not perfect, they are still flawed. If I build something, it needs to function properly. ERS Paper and Magix levitation feet are not flawed and that's why I like them, the more the better.
 
I got it I got it I got it...

analysis is everything.

ES is George Bush's speech writer..

Perhaps you can train yourself to see individual atoms with your eyes too?

Don't let those stupid books tell you that light doesn't have a short enough wavelength for that to ever be physically possible.

I mean, it's not like anyone ever tests this stuff... it's all just assumed by the scientific community, who then spend their time patting each other on the back and chuckling about how smart they are.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm due for my daily bleeding. Got to keep the humors in balance to maintain optimal health! After that, I'll probably say some prayers to keep God from punishing me with disease and maybe finish doing some calculations on my abacus.

I should probably stop using this "comm-pute-or" thing now; I'm pretty sure it operates using dark magic.
 
Ahh, I see ES is back.

(My bolding)

Fine! So, if that's your attitude, then why do you think others believe anything YOU say?

Why, why waste your and/or anybody else's time.

Because according to you, we shouldn’t trust information in books on electronics even if it has been tested, and not to trust that information even if others have verified those tests, and not to trust it even if that information has been used to build electronic equipment.

So again according you, books that have tested information mean nothing. So why should you write anything down because you have told us that tested information is useless, so since your information that has not be tested and has not verified by others means a hell of a lot less.

Unfortunately, everything that you just said has disappeared into the Ether between ES's ears.
 
Just curious -- what music could possibly be so sublime that requires all of these tweaks to eke out every last bit of the reproduction?

BTW, vinyl recordings are better than CD, and vinyl records from Japan are best of all.
