Reminder that the floor is lava and if your cables are lying on the floor you are losing sound quality.
You might not believe me but you'd hear the difference yourself if you could afford those anti-floor stands for a reasonable price.

Is there any scientific evidence showing that this shit actually works compared to non-retarded poor-fag setups?
>>53506867
Technically yes. But the margin of improvement is so low humans can't pick up on the difference
Music is for transcendent post-humanity, not for disgustingly worthless bags of flesh.
>>53506412
It's not even that they believe cable raisers make a difference. That's just superstition like any other.
It's that they believe only 600$ cable raisers make a difference.
>>53506976
They do make a difference though.
It's just people are so stupid they can measure better visuals and say that, for instance, 40 fps is worse than 60 fps or ultra graphics are better than medium settings.
But when it comes to sound everyone is just starting to act retarded.
>>53506976
They certainly make a difference on their bank accounts, so there's that.
>>53507016
Fine, they don't make a difference that human ears can pick up, especially when the last link of the chain is a transducer..
>>53506905
>Or can we...
>>53507016
So would you say it's necessary to get decent cable raisers to play osu! at a competitive level, or would that be overkill? Would they help?
>>53506412
Spending money on raisers for only a small boost in quality makes no sense to me.
Especially when that boost is so insignificant.
>>53506412
They would only make a very incremental impertinent, but only if the analog signal is not converted back to digital.

>>53506412
yall have to understand when you get to these majoring systems it's not about vibrating rubber anymore
It's a vacuum being created in the room that is tugged on by the energy in the machine being used to produce the sound. These people aren't listening to the "music" they're listening to how the device changes the way the data that represents the music is projected.
They ARE listening to the cables, and CAN hear if they are closer to the ground.
Seriously you guys talking about cost, sound quality, etc are missing the whole point.
If you have a $20000 audio setup and it looks good in your awesome apartment and the cable management is $600 special risers and other bullshit, the chicks you bring over are way more likely to put anal on the table.

Kinda like how your monitors VESA mount affects your graphics, right?
>>53506472
>>53507016
>they do make a difference though
Provide proof or shut the fuck up, audiophile retard. Even if it made some atomic-level difference, you would need expensive tools and laboratory environment to ever notice it with certainty... and we are talking about cables of a fucking home sound system.
>>53506905
>Technically yes
Stop, you'll only encourage them.
>>53506867
The difference doesn't even show up on spectrograms, so it's not even demonstrated to exist.
Floor interference is pure, 100%, bullshit. The only interference worth mentioning is the cable to any pre-amp, which you want to keep clear of transformers (this isn't hard, and doesn't require a special cable).
>>53507016
They have been proven to not make a difference. I swear, audiophiles are worse than pc gamers on the amount of stupid bullshit superstition they believe.
>>53506446

IT'S A BLOCK OF PLASTIC NIGGA
I ripped my headphone cables and now they're soldered

>>53511045
>all that money everywhere
>cheap Burago car
>>53506867
Well, if your cables are really complete utter shit, without shielding, then yeah. Additional shielding could help. However, I don't think such cables are sold anywhere, unless you buy raw copper.
Stands are purely aesthetic, nice cable management, otherwise pointless.

literally why
Just be sure to star-ground your setup, and understand the last link in the chain (speaker driver) is ultimate distorting the final output whole percentage points more than anything that could possibly come before it. Even consumer-grade stuff.
If I had $20k that I WANTED to spend on my audio setup, I'd get barefoot mini main 12s. Currently using Focal SM9s
Don't forget to maximize the purity of the sound entering your headphones also!

There's probably a company buying these wholesale, putting them in a box labeled "Premium Audiophile-Grade Floor Spacers, 100% Pure, Golden Ears Onlyâ„¢", and selling them at a 2000% markup over what the power company pays. It's brilliant.

I agree that there is a whole lot of bullshit sales out there. But to say cables make no difference is equally bullshit.
What do you think of this guy?
https://passlabs.com/articles/speaker-cables-science-or-snake-oil
>>53512761
To be short, it's bullshit because you don't need ultra high end cables for this kind of signals (audio world =/= telecommunication)
>>53511620
But wont that make the sound sour?

It also helps not to use the shittiest brand of xlrs known to man

Those things cost any where from 5 to 25 usd depending on voltage ratings.
I have 6 on my desk at work from rear lot poles that Grid leaves in the field because they're lazy.
These guys could use the vintage glass ones. They at least look pretty.
>>53512830
You say it's bullshit, but offer up nothing. Maybe it does make a difference what kind of cable you use. How much? is the question, and I have not heard a very good response to that yet.

The one placebo to rule them all.

>Clearly things are happening above 100kHz; to display them I performed two tests on the cable samples. In the first I swept the frequency output of a 1/4ohm resistive source from 100kHz to 40MHz while measuring the voltage at the other end of the cable with various load impedances. In the second test, I used the same source to send a 5μS pulse down the cable for viewing at the other end. (see Fig. 7).

Shielding does matter, but not for audio applications.
Shielding however, IS important if your running 10Gb/s over cat 6a, or trying to run a drone into the ruins of a nuclear power plant, into outer space, etc.

audiophiles literally can't tell in double-blind tests the difference between thousand dollar cables and untwisted coathangers with pigtails soldered on the ends.
>>53514309
who is this??
>>53513160
Anything above Cat5 is just too big a pain in the ass to terminate myself, whereas I can strip and compression crimp a coax end in like 20 seconds.
Fuck, I don't even know what's involved in field terminating Cat7/8 or if it's even really possible.
At some point, cutting, polishing and epoxying caps on single-mode fiber will be easier.
literally all my cables are tangled up running up left right and down across the floor
if someone slightly moved my desk my printer, pc case, monitor and audio system would come tumbling down

The PSX actually has one of the highest quality CD readers, not a meme. They just have shitty cable output so if you mod them to output better formats, you have a very high quality CD player for cheap.
OFC it's audiophiles so they're probably paying 40,000 dollars for premodded ones and then jerking their dick raw about how it sounds so good.
>>53520257

I hope you're joking. Try to find the correct model ps1 right now

Sound quality is listener subjective, and it never ceases to amaze me when people commnent on something in complete ignorance. My Golden Ear Triton Two Tower speakers coupled with my Rotel RSP 1066 pre amp, powered by my Bryston B4 Audiophile Amp has been tested by no less than 10 different CD players of higher end quality ranging from Marantz to Yamaha. High end cables used. Tried every concievable configuration from relying on the Rotels DAC processor from the cd players straight digital source to source audio bypass on the pre-amp so as to test the CD players own DAC. The PS1 SCPH 1001 was unmodified except for the spiked feet I mounted on the bottom of the unit.The PS1 was placed on top of a 16 inch square bambooo cutting board which was glued to the top of a 16 inch square 2 inch thick concrete block which was placed on top of an inflated 16 inch bicycle tire insert. This absorbed all resonant frequencies both internal and external which in turn created a presence and soundstage beyond description.Is the PS1 as good as they claim? No, it's better, and it is now my main CD listening source.
