Sometimes I channel Da Vinci or maybe Da Vinci Code but usually I’m just channeling PT Barnum. 🤡
Please Make Audiogon Cool
I think that there are a lot of experienced and interesting people on this site. Some in retail, some in manufacturing, and probably some really cool artists, scientists and engineers of all sorts of backgrounds.
I want to encourage those of you with something to say, a point of view, a helpful idea to post.
Without this type of interaction, Audiogon becomes just a shopping support group. If you care about the Audiogon community and would like to see it go in a particular direction, then please contribute in the way you feel most comfortable and engaging.
Thanks!
Erik

georgehifi Yup. And thank goodness the moderators are monitoring the abuses here, as evidenced by the deleted posts.Yes I think the OP should be banned from starting any more threads, as they are nearly all BS related or have ulterior motives behind them. >>>>>>Ulterior motives? I personally don’t have ulterior motives. I make it quite clear my intention is to take over the world. |
roberttcan WHAT CAN BE ASSERTED WITHOUT EVIDENCE, CAN BE DISMISSED WITHOUT EVIDENCE. Your argument is easily dismissed as you have no evidence to support your position, nor are you willing to provide evidence via proving your claim.

But intimacy with one’s system and recordings can help ensure not many mistakes are made. So, we can dismiss any psychological bugaboo, whether it’s being psyched out, confirmation bias, placebo effect, reverse placebo effect or whatever other mumbo jumbo terminology you like. Yes, I have noticed your use of ad-homs when you are not able to address the argument. It is not something to be proud of. "I’ve already used the term Wiki scientist, it’s what I labeled you, actually, so please stop using my material. Have you no shame?" >>>>>In that case I will dismiss your arguments.

roberttcan It will be difficult to make this a welcoming place for engineers and scientists because they will quickly tire of the attacks of the Wikipedia experts and those enamored and convinced of the infallibility of their ears and brains, even though confirmation bias is well understood in psychology and the foibles of non-controlled subjective audio testing were put to bed by actual audio engineers decades ago. >>>>>Nobody is saying that the ears can’t be fooled sometimes. But certainly not always. Give us a break! Familiarity with one’s system and recordings can help ensure not many mistakes are made. And experience. So, I declare that we can summarily dismiss any psychological bugaboo, whether it’s being psyched out, confirmation bias, placebo effect, reverse placebo effect or whatever other mumbo jumbo terminology you like. I’ve already used the term Wiki scientist, it’s what I labeled you, actually. So, please stop using my material. Have you no shame? “Many of you will go on to big things. The rest of you will become audio engineers.” - Commencement address at Audio school. 😬 |
