Please 8lb 6oz Baby Jesus, let this be true.

So you have some evidence to back up these claims?
Should be pretty easy to prove, if it exists! If it could be measured, then manufacturers would have it all over their product pagesMaybe the manufacturers have these data for power cords and fuses?
See https://www.audiocheck.net/blindtests_index.phpIt is obvious that you can hear difference (what else do you have ears for), the question is only when and at what level you hear difference.
Is there no dB test where you can change the dB between 0.5-5 dB to test when you hear a difference?I remember seeing one but I did not save the link. It was some kind of test you could do, you heard signals then guessed if there was any difference in dB.Someone who knows it?.
Great! Thanks!
Yesterday, I changed a compact fluorescent bulb. It blew after seven years. Previous incandescent bulbs blew much quicker and cost ten times as much to run.exactly this i also just gave up on a "superior" desktop-pc music setup, hence the rather cheap soundcard with cheap (but for the price alright) 30€ headphones because it gets the job done (specially for youtube videos and stuff like that where audio quality doesnt matter at all....) tho its miles away from my main setup and i pretty much cant distingiush the things/differences i can hear on my main setup, maybe i would if i start hunting weak-links there too, pretty much i could but in the end not "really" worth it because of crappy/noisy pc hardware and windows and i wouldnt get it to same level as my main setup anyway
and i pretty much get it when people say "they cant hear a difference" because pretty certainly i couldnt either on your setup...
Impressive, 0,5 dB and all right in the test.yep its a great site, its the site that got me into "does absolute polarity matter"Blind Testing a 0.5 dB Level Difference
Discover the smallest difference in level (dB) you can reliably hear.www.audiocheck.net
got 10/10 with 0,5db (after 2-3 test runs, i actually had to do some listening training to get that result)
0,2db is though tho, and i also noticed that its way easier to hear "louder", "flat" and "quiter" are way harder to distingiush
but i have to say, if i color the sound of my speakers with 0,2-0,5db higher mids its way easier to hear (for me) than this sinewave test
maybe i should repeat the test on my monitors, i just did it with cheap headphones
agreed, i also hear a clear difference of masters from like 90s/00s/10s, specially since around 2017/2018 masters/albums (can) sound very good thats also the only reason why i enjoy modern music more beside loadness war... i wish some old classics had that quality of todays song atleast remasters improve it a little bit, even if loadness gets worse.... (nirvana`s - nevermind 2021 remaster for example )Given the task to be done, it is absolutely no surprise at all that we can have a near-perfect DAC for next to no money given the advances made in technology this century.
yes, it is random, you can get "louder" 3 times in a row for example, there is no pattern you can learnI assume that if you repeat the test, new combinations are randomly selected, so it really is in a blind test?
Nice to see someone that could pass 0.5db.yep its a great site, its the site that got me into "does absolute polarity matter"Blind Testing a 0.5 dB Level Difference

Great, damn what good, you gave me an idea! Today due to hungover so I will only play destroyed compressed, lodeness music at low volume. That kind of even porridge my ears will accept today. Sensible music experiences may be for tomorrow.agreed, i also hear a clear difference of masters from like 90s/00s/10s, specially since around 2017/2018 masters/albums (can) sound very good thats also the only reason why i enjoy modern music more beside loadness war... i wish some old classics had that quality of todays song atleast remasters improve it a little bit, even if loadness gets worse....

i actually think its just made for that, so it sounds better on "casual volume" radios, if you listen at 85db (or higher volumes in general) it really begins to show how awful it sounds, specially with dynamic-compressed voices ( "ed sheran - shiver" comes to my mind )lodeness ruined music at low volume
I think that music with a lot of dynamics sounds bad on a bad Hifi system. Alternatively, you play (high volume) over the capacity of the system, drive the amplifier (with too little power) into clipping for example. Distortion is not fun.i actually think its just made for that, so it sounds better on "casual volume" radios, if you listen at 85db (or higher volumes in general) it really begins to show how awful it sounds, specially with dynamic-compressed voices ( "ed sheran - shiver" comes to my mind )
actually a metal listener, so im somewhat accustomed to low dynamic tracks... i actually find it way more annoying if tracks (specially old ones, specially classic) have like their peaks at subjectivly -20db, because i dont wanna turn up the speakers just to get blown away by the next normal -3db track... (i actually just listen to them as they are then, i dont play with the volume knob while listening... i just set the max. volume )
for me its good practice to put song peaks close to 0db and often (newer) people switch this one up with "loadness war"
you also notice this on youtube alot, people wanna do a "favor" while making the volume quite or not as loud, tho you have to turn up your volume, just to get blown away by the next normal volume video again (so its not a favor, at all)
i never did extensive blind testing on "all the things" (because i think its flawed) but i certainly did som ... this just tells me blind testing doesnt work like you guys think/expect it to be
i still think its flawed and not nessecary with the right mindset

Unless you think of psychology as a scienceSo when exactly is blind testing flawed and when is it not?
Let this be the new year where science prevails
its with very subtil changes, i dont say "nothing" can be heared while A/B testing tho (i just say it can have its flaws), like i wrote before i actually did "blindtests" with the ac purifier by ifi and me and my friend could tell when it was plugged it and when exactly it was plugged inSo when exactly is blind testing flawed and when is it not?
Let this be the new year where science prevails
i just dont have the energy or time todo extensive a/b tests (and also bother a friend/familymember) all the time, for me its enough that i can tell the difference. end of story beside being pretty sure these people here would question everything about it if i tell them just the result x)

this volume test is something different tho... and like i said i actually had to do some "training" (and i actually did it this way -> on the top of the page you can listen to the "exact" track, without guessing... and i did this multiple times, specially with "flat" and "quiter", if i wouldnt have done this i would have probably never got 10/10, thats one reason right there why i think it has its flaws
(just like with those "audiophil" changes, you have to hear them "once" so you know what to listen for....)

EDIT: here i did a photo of the test btw
