I do repair work and "Upgrade" for so called high end hifi, the customers supply the parts and tell me what they want changed, I do tell them it's a load of nonsense, but they do not listen, but I do not want to argue with them as the customer is always right
, they swear they can tell a difference, it's absolute nonsense! One friend paints his CD's with Green Permanent marker (Sold as something else) so the laser light does not escape? I ask you.
The irony is! sometimes when things produce a lesser quality sound, they think thats more "Natural" so a cheap CD player losing bits is often better to them, just like the old original playstation 1 as a high end CD player nonsense.
I want them to tell me why they think a $5k power cable makes a difference when you've got kilometers of average wiring outside in the air and under ground.
There (highlighted text above), is your argument's fundamental flaw, they just don't do that.
I've done my part toying with these species, just join them calmly, while they're talking how a song sounds more brighter, deeper tone, more clarity and etc, just jump in and voice it out loud that you sense and taste the sound is more "caramelized" , "spicier" , "salt & sour like" and "fart smelly like timbre" and etc using food taste as the new jargon.
Two possible outcomes, either they will hate you ... or ... some morons will start to admire you and a new sound's character names you've invented are born, and will be added into their sound characters dictionary.
