[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8866584, member: 689267"] Actually it's not that you can hear it, it impacts the way you actually hear the stuff within range. They started looking at why initially, CD playback was considered so steril and one of the conclusions is the sharp cut-off of the perceived limit of the human ear eliminated various harmonics present on analog playback. Pioneer, came up with a solution on it's ELite PD-65+ units to mathematically/electronically emulate harmonics to the cd playback called "Lagatto-Link", adding back harmonics that are present on analog vinyl records. It was done to try an replicate that "warmer" sound. Modern, quality DA converters are no longer capped at 20khz for the same reason. Kind of like a magnetic field, you can't see it with your eyes, but hold a magnet up to a metal object like a paperclip and the clip moves, jumps to the magnet. You can't see magnetic fields but they are all around us and strong enough, they do affect us as well. They can't really prove/measure that higher quality RCA's or speaker wires are better but I have personally done blind A/B test and whether it's a perceived improvement or just a change is subjective but there is a difference nonetheless.
