"rodman,
I asked you sincere questions to try and understand your position.
Ok, you don’t want to have a conversation where you think through your position to show anyone else it actually makes sense. I guess the whole "here are the reasons why you should take my claim seriously" stuff is just "blah, blah, blah" to you? (I infer this from your constant disparagement of any questions about your claims)." What, "claims" have I made? AGAIN: My ONLY agenda is to encourage others to LISTEN/EXPERIMENT for THEMSELVES. This is the internet, which(to me) is a vast playground, in where anyone can make any claims they want, regarding themselves or their theories, "prof". Call me a skeptic, but I don’t care to play. "......don’t want to have a conversation...."??? It’s cute, you think I spend my day, hovering over a keyboard, with such as you in my head. My reality extends beyond the virtual(I actually have a life, to occupy my time).

I stand by every statement I’ve made and prof’s copied/pasted, then- twisted. ie: ONLY experimentation, PROVES whether theories or opinions/biases are correct(no theory has ever proven anything). The second is PLAINLY an encouragement for OTHERS to trust THEIR ears, and the third speaks for itself. Nothing but HUBRIS could lead one to make claims, regarding another’s possible equipment/cable/tweak choices or results, that’s NEVER stepped into their home, heard their system, tested their equipment, or sat in their listening seat, much less LISTENED with THE OTHER’S ears. Such that do, have never received anything from me, but disdain and disregard, as pontificating pseudo-intellects(or whatever their claim to fame). Can’t help but wonder; what’s the next event horizon, around which such will swirl? |
"therefore my experience has verified the claim and anyone who doesn’t hear what I hear is at fault."??? PLEASE, point out any post, in which I’ve ever put forth such a proposition. I’ve never had an agenda, on these pages, other than to encourage others in listening/experimenting for themselves.

SO; the bottom line of all this discussion(according to some) would be, "It’s a waste of time, trying to upgrade your system/listening pleasure, by actually auditioning(LISTENING), since YOU’RE too inept to tell if there’s an improvement in sound, without a degreed Scientist present, to PROPERLY conduct experiments on your proposed purchase and determine(for you) if it’s POSSIBLE for that component/tweak, to positively affect what you might hear." Right? |
I repeat: "Bias" is bias, regardless of the viewpoint or subject. ie: Those that are so adamant, regarding their beloved theories/opinions/biases(regardless of the source), while refusing to acknowledge that ONLY experimentation(the heart of the Scientific Method), provides PROOF, regarding anything discussed. Most of those are proffering their opinions, without ever having tried what’s being discussed. What you hold true, in your listening room, is all that matters. Experiment and trust your ears. Anyone that discredits another’s abilities to hear improvements, in their own systems, in their own listening environments, with their own ears, should be considered condescending, insulting and/or(probably), simply projecting their own ineptitude. Perhaps, to be pitied. That’s just logic, which is anathema to the Counter Culture. Far as, "....big, high falutin’ words"; Higher Education improves one’s vocabulary. Some here should try it! Sorry for lack of paragraphs. Case didn’t offer typing classes, back in the day.

Earlier: I posted, "I should have mentioned what a waste of keystrokes, I now believe it to be, to engage (a polite, scientific, term I’ve coined, for rock-headed individuals) and their blather." Apparently, someone felt that was, "offensive to a member"(probably, because they couldn’t understand it) and deleted it, though the post addressed NO ONE, in particular. Welcome to the CANCEL CULTURE. Let me expand that, to ALL the blather, generated on this site, in general. Is that more acceptable? |
