I'm afraid I did. Your logic was flawed.. You need to address the actual point .Tests done in highly artificial circumstances may not read-over into more general situations. It's not exactly rocket science.

I don't need to sell anything to make a living so your usual FOO argument is redundant on meYes you are.
It's pointless arguing about this because you NEED people to believe Dacs make a difference to make a living and audiophiles NEED to believe that there is a sonic reason for their purchase.
You are joking, right?There's no more rigor to the standard Harman loudspeaker test than there would be to any unsighted bake off. The test has been taken by hundreds if not thousands of audiophiles, music lovers and journalists and the results have been consistent. Or are you now saying that these tests are flawed? In which case what is it that you know that Harman International and the AES don't?

DBO 4 or is it 3A(ST) maybe even 3B(JK) is about enjoyment, nuts or whatever and beer, wine, etc. It is Vitals home and environment. How he wishes to conduct it within the constraint of taking other attendees views into account. Different DACs to DBO 3. It isn't intended to be a scientific peer reviewed study subjected to the strong views of the rest of PFM.
I see posts which are loosing that plot.
I am also certain some will hear an amazing difference and some may minimise the significance of the difference. It is one thing to use kit that is chosen to detect difference and how the vast majority of lesser equipment behaves with these same DACs.
Want to try a £35 Maplins USB DAC Vital - well regarded by a number of PFM members?

But you label yourself as "trade"?
ABX in this context would be blind, so you want blind tests to justify blind tests?

Yes, I don't need to mention my products & JKDAC is a product from two generations ago which only proves that I don't mention themGreat. I guess you don't need a trade account then or to mention the JKDacs on the forum? Forgive my cynicism - I'm too old I guess.
No I'm not. You really should watch the first five minutes or so of this interview.
If anything, in the Harman lab, the "pressure" would be greater yet the results are consistent and have been for decades.
What IS different is the rigor with which Olive has logged and analyzed the results by listener category. The basic premise however of fast switching between test units, level matched in double blind fashion remains the same and is remarkably easy to achieve at home.
Anybody know what happened to david icke ?
That is just absurd .
thanks for that Merlin . You have done me and pfm a favor .
me because i will never ever argue with you again , the fact you advocate such a methodology for establishing difference means you are now the David Icke of PFM to me .
You have done pfm a favor cause this will mean there will be considerably less of my ego centric ramblings to read .
I wish you all the best in your crusade .

Watched it before & I don't like Olive's darting, shifting eyes - makes him look suspicious & a bit creepy - but maybe that's just me?
