It is though. It's just as, if not more, important that the graphics and gameplay. There are some truly shitty games people play just because the audio is so good.

It's the same concept as the old Aphex exciters:
Introducing small amounts of harmonic distortion actually provides a better mix.

No, you prevent infetterence by scanning your candy bars one at a time, Ryan.

I think it's supposed to demonstrate how thousand dollar powercables won't make up for the interference it's already gone through. Not sure how the electricity itself makes the quality of audio better, but that's something audiophiles believe.

I do agree with this it's retarded to have a high end PC but using shitty Logitech speakers or gamer headsets. Getting a simple DAC/Amp setup with decent headphones is enough to redpill you on good sound quality.

HOWEVER its their money so who fucking cares?

>commissioners

Power noise is a thing, what impact it has on systems like these i dont know.

On actually good system it makes no impact

people spending that kind of money on wristwatches are in it for the status symbol, to impress other people or show off their wealth. people spending that kind of money on audio equipment are lying to themselves, saying they can perceive a difference. both groups are stupid, but at least the wristwatchers know what they're doing and aren't delusional.

I saw Flying Lotus at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Power noise is important enough that you can tell when an old fridge kicks on just by the distortion, but even something drastic like that can be completely resolved by like 50 bucks worth of equipment.

Reel-to-reels tapes are unironically among the highest quality you can store audio on. They aren't equivalent to cheap audio cassettes.

It's smokers, of course they are spineless hypocrites

it has 0 impact. electronics filter their source entirely to run.

false. have you never heard hum coming out of a loud speaker when no input is applied? that due to the grid and powersupply not being filtered well.

We all laugh at each other.

the thing is while there is a lot of science to sound, the perception of it is still entirely subjective and always will be, so you can make these claims and word it so you are never "wrong". the only way to prove a placebophile wrong or at least shut them up is to ask them about MEASURABLE differences. and then question if miniscule measurable differences are audible or can even be reproduced.

Check:
If the music you're listening to is a high enough quality
If your headphones need an amp+dac
If you have ear problems like impacted wax or hearing loss

It’s called strain relief. Do it, retard.

yes, so perfectly normal considering the headphones. though frankly most of those high-end players could power them anyways and why would you use those huge things on the go? better to invest in an IEM setup if you want that.

You can tell between a $99 and $200. $500 and $3000 is trickier. The $500 might even sound better if it’s older than the $3000 especially if it’s a gibson. The wood they had back in the day was allowed to dry out for longer because they simply had more wood in their reserves.

To give your bait some credit, acoustics can sound better when old because fungus and shit. I dont know how its possible or how it works, but some older acoustics do sound better than newer ones. But its entirely subjective, as i found a 200U$ acoustic to sound much better than any 2000U$ counterpart, simply because i liked how bright it sounded as compared to how dark the others were.

It is trickier, but not by much since $500 is still in the lower end price bracket with some corner cutting to keep costs down (most notably hardware) and $3000 is squarely in the top end category where less than perfect fit and finish will get you fucking skinned alive. $1000 vs $3000 is a much tougher comparison since the parts start being largely the same and the QA gets stricter, you really have to start looking for the minute details.

Because having fake leather that flakes off and gets everywhere is so much better.
