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!

I have yet to see any "evidence" or "facts" presented, as least what would qualify as evidence or facts from an engineering / scientific stand point  (you know, something that could stand up in court, or a scientific paper ... I changed it and I thought it was better doesn't count.).

If there are actual degreed electrical/engineering physics/acoustic engineers and degreed physical scientists, please speak up. Love to chat with you ...

p.s. I just rejoined yesterday. I have been here before, but left when too busy getting a company off the ground. Obviously based on the op's post and other posts I have read, his and my feelings are not unique. You may want to try being part of the solution instead of bullying.

Any actual engineers and scientists in the audio field, are quickly turned off by stuff like this, which has no basis in fact ... So how do you change things ... 
There are lots of facts here, but you don’t like them. There is a lot of evidence here, but not the kind you like. There are also multiple actual scientists and engineers who regularly contribute here. But you just joined yesterday, so you can be somewhat forgiven for not recognizing that. If you stick around, you’ll likely find some here who are even smarter than you.

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.

>>>>>Nobody is saying that the ears can’t be fooled sometimes. 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. Talk to da hand 🖐 
Somehow I feel this thread has been hijacked, but I can't figure out where it went south.
