In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud — 'The mud should sound perfectly awful, but it doesn't,' notes the experiment creator

Who knew listening to a banana sounded so good?

@evemassacre when i attended a class in, i think it was audio processing or something at aalborg University, we were taught by a professor, who started by telling us that no matter what kind of cable we bought for our audio systems at home, we wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Half the class were invested in something apparently, because there was a furious uproar and the rest of the first half of that class was people trying to "make him see sense"

@evemassacre i do believe the professor, still to this day is an international specialist in signal transfer or something like that. Can't recall his last name but i think his first name is Mads... Or something. Anyhow. Was a very fun class for me to attend 😁

@Li @evemassacre makes no sense in what way?

@rasmus91 @evemassacre speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out-

honestly its mostly just becuase the things going to decode to the same stuff even if there is a bit of interference or noise or whatever the heck audiophiles claim it that isn't caused by the factors they say they are anyway it kind of can handle that a bit better in this case..:?
