BTW what the hell is COCAEDMAD?

joetama's derogatory term for people who are intelligent enough to understand the fact that electronic devices are objective devices that can be measured and performance derived from those measurements, rather than falling under the delusion that there is a level of subjectivity to the performance of something as ludicrously simple as a cable or amplifier and hence said components must include the appropriate amount of sonic pixie-dust.

I think it's Church of Cables and Electronics Don't Make A Difference....or some other similarly retarded and un-witty acronym. Par for the course for 'tama.

I was trying to be polite enough to hold my tongue about the significant wastes of money included in the pictures......

Church of Cables and Electronics Don't Make A Difference.

Basically the people that believe that every amplifier sounds the same. Every receiver sounds the same. Every pre-amplifier sounds the same. Every cable sounds the same. If it meets a specific set of electrical requirements.

I call it a church because they blindly believe it, and try to convert everyone any chance they get. I think people should go out and see if they can hear a difference themselves. If they do hear a difference great for them if they don't well good for them. But, these people don't feel that way. forgot to delete that part my bad.

These people always say the same thing. "ABX Testing proves people can't hear a difference" Well, most audiophile ABX tests are setup to fail because they are conducted by the COCAEDMADs. Plus, the difference are so small most people don't really hear them. Which then they say "oh you are the golden ear person right ". But, if you think about it two people don't hear the same. I don't know two people who see the same.

Anyway, they annoy me. As you can tell.

quoted from joetama in a pm.

only thing that i can honestly not tell the difference in is wire.

but i can def tell the difference between receivers, amps, pre-amps and such,

couldnt you have settled for a set of interconnects that costed maybe 200 ?

don't forget the NBS interconnects = 750.00 x 2the nordost power cord = ????

and the Svetlania tubes = $400-$600 approx.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/imdaman.gif.bc6c552e19aa4ad8c47461144f40eb1a.gif

Yeah... I fluked out on that deal. I was saving up for my B&W 802d's and Classe CA-M400's, but I just couldn't turn this deal down. I just missed out on picking up a set of 803D's by about an hour!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wallbash.gif.1310150c49dd52e0fbe1813a0681e5c3.gif Oh well, I can't complain.

Forgot about the interconnects.

You defiantly can't complain.

im sorry but paying 1500 for rca/interconnects is ridiculous.
couldnt you just use like knuconceptz or stinger rca's

honestly it is impossible to hear the difference in sound between 2 different wires.

am i a COCAEDMAD now?

Maybe, but you aren't a dick about it, so I'm leaning towards no.

I don't want to start the difference in wire battle again, but once you get into hi-fi audio you actually can tell the difference in cabling. to each there own, this is my vice. Well this and bodybuilding, but that's me.

Truth... Either that or you just don't have the ears to hear the difference. But, that is a can of worms.

BTW what the hell is COCAEDMAD?

Church of Cables and Electronics don't make a difference. You know the AB/X people. Like half the yahoos on this site.

Say what you want, there are people who hear it and people who don't. I guess you just don't. Sorry.

No.

Say what you want, there are people who hear it and people who don't.

There's also people who've seen aliens, and been aboard the mothership........

Well, I think that nixes the idea of intelligent life outside of earth if the alien traveled all this way just to screw a trailer-trash fat chick who's first thought was to tell her story on Sprinter //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
