Quite so. My beef is that what he is saying is not factual. He's free to say it as much as he likes of course, just as I'm free to disagree.

That’s it, good honest debate, it is healthy for people to debate open and honestly about a subject, it educates us all in some way, it also teaches us better social skills and how to deal with being confronted, I love it, even better in a pub over a bevies, people being different is what defines us as "human".

Exactly. No one can remember what a picture is supposed to look like with any degree of accuracy.....



....yet you claim to be able to remember what a picture looked like a month before.

If that were true, you wouldn't need calibration disks.



But the 1s and 0s passed to the DAC will be exactly the same, regardless of how "clean" the power supply is. The error rate of a CD is not affected by the power supply, and even if it were, error correction allows CDs to recover from such errors, so it would make no difference. There can be unrecoverable errors, but they will simply result in an interruption in the signal causing a gap or click. It doesn't diminish some ethereal subjective quality of the audio.

so much bollox in there I dont know where to begin

You think the electricity supply to a CD player affects the data on a disk played on it?

Tell me, does you computer run faster when connected to this magical power source? Are spreadsheets bigger and better? Does "Asian Hotties IV" download faster?

Do you own an oscilloscope?

They haven't figured out how to drink over the internet yet unfortunately.

I'm assured they're working on it, once they recover from their hangover. :cool:

I have a lovley Philips 50MHz CRT scope, ex-RAF, calibrated, dual channel with probes if anybody wants it for a swap for some tradeable merchandise, I used for a couple of years and has served me well, I am looking at a tektronix job on ebay which will give me up to 1GHz bandwidth, ideal for my RF work.
Anyone interested I will deliver if local or ship it via DHL.

I think we should all club together and buy it for aliEnRIK.

OK, here you go, an ABX test between different types of power cable:

To sum up:

The total number of correct answers was 73 out of 149, which amounts to 49% accuracy. That is no more accurate than flipping a coin, and therefore, no statistically significant detection of power cable differences.

This started out as a question about freeview, and heres aliEnRIK trying to offer his advice
