Este fin de semana descubrí Matrix, y me leí varias de sus pruebas, y coinciden con Peter Aczel (antes escribí mal su apellido) por ejemplo hay una en que comparan un discman Sony del año de la pera, y en pruebas ciegas la mayoría prefirió el discman sobre un reproductor top de línea. La verdad tienen resultados sorprendentes. Ellos hacen la prueba igualando niveles a la décima de volt para que no existan diferencias. Hay otra sección donde publican material recibido, y hay un artículo escrito por alguien, que si la memoria no me falla, tiene un sistema de 40.000 euros, y que dice que la misma calidad de sonido se logra con la décima parte.
Algo que me sorprendió fue lo de los cables, hacen comparativas entre cables comprados en la esquina y super ultra caros cables de parlantes, y nadie notó diferencia alguna. Creo que a bajo volumen da lo mismo el cable, pero al darle fuerte el cable debiera marcar diferencia, pero no por marca, si no por calibre.
Otro punto importante es que le mandaron un correo a los mejores fabricantes de parlantes preguntando por cables y por el rodaje de los parlantes, y desde ATC les respondieron: “We do not consider 'burn in' an issue. When our loudspeakers leave the factory they are in perfect working order and their performance will not change over time unless they are not cared for or get very old.

I think 'burn in' was probably invented by hi-fi dealers so that when they sell a cable for 500 euros and the customer complains he can't hear any difference the dealer can tell them it needs 'burning in'. After the customer has waited for two weeks for the cable to 'burn in' he has forgotten how his system sounded in the first place and can't be bothered to complain again.”

Hearing stories of 2300 Euro cables makes me quite angry. You can't put all the blame with the dealer, he is heavily influenced by the press who push benefits of cable and yes, perhaps manufacturers who do not believe in 'hi-end' cable should do more to let their customers know. I think the trick is to go to Hi-Fi shops wearing a blindfold. If it was only your ears you used to choose equipment then you would probably have a better system.

The facts are, no cable can improve the sound. A poor cable can only degrade the sound. I think that a lot of the 'sound' certain cables produce are down to problems with the design. For example, a cable with high capacitance attenuating the high frequencies.

Alot of it is also down to 'system tuning'. I think this is another silly idea - using a 'dull' component to cancel the effect of a 'bright' component. If manufacturers designed high performance, neutral components in the first place then this would not be needed. But saying that, with Hi-Fi, it is down to personal preferance.

As I think you have guessed, there are no magical solutions. Good audio equipment comes from good engineering. There are some psycho-acoustic phenomenon that we do not understand, but every other characteristic of an audio system can be measured accurately using modern test equipment. If a manufacturer does not have data to back up their claims then they are probably making it up.”

Interesante que la gente de ATC, una marca de reconocido prestigio opinen así, no les parece?
