No need to rush to the exit, people. That sound is not the fire alarm, it's the irony meter; I don't think it was designed for this level and seems to have completely blown.
I'm conscious that one should not derail threads., and it might be better to leave it but FWIW
On the first sentence, I suppose it depends what you mean by "require". I would personally not think one needed an ABX to compare two speakers it being very clear that speakers can be distinguished...
1) <Bangs head on table>
2) The reason this is not a blind test is not because it isn't blind but because it isn't a test. And confirmation bias is primarily an issue with experimental analysis- as here. Apart from those two points, what does the reasonable person conclude from a claim that two...
I am surprised how little attention has been focussed on the good news side of this story. Assuming this is the best sounding system in the world (!) then it seems that the best sounding system in the world can be acquired for £64k plus a little bit. -certainly under 70k.
Oh. the idea that "everything matters" . It doesn't apply to certain areas of engineering which include in particular digital signal channels. It also doesn't apply to information below the threshold at which it can be detected. Sorry -I thought that was obvious. Can you see why that might be...
This is fascinating. Basically like reading an explanation of how weather works written by a medieval monk. The problem is that it isn't actually true.
This is why (when those words were more in vogue) I used to bang my head on the table in frustration at the inaptness of the expressions "subjectivist" and "objectivist". "subjectivist" = fantasy "objectivist".
I'm really worried about the effect that the switch might have on my audio components. I have read on the internet that a switch, err switches at very high frequencies and hence injects high frequency interference through the cable/air /mains which cannot be proven to be exactly equal to zero. I...
On the second point, phew.
On the first, who could argue with Jussi’s statement- it doesn’t really mean anything without specifics. John Swenson used to say similar things, and may still for all I know.
Of course the unspecified RF with the unspecified effect might be transmitted through the...
Actually that’s a bit complicated. I’m looking forward to the measurements to show that a random switch is a better RF filter than any RF filter. I mean no one could possibly say anything that surprising without evidence, because otherwise they would look silly.
I remain bemused about why the solution to an RF issue is to insert a random device not designed to filter RF into the chain as opposed to an RF filter. Of course that would matter more if it were a real rather than imagined issue, but even so..
