| HELP. THE REVERB ON MY FENDER AMP ISNT WORKING This is an audiophile forum which is dedicated to hifi equipment & music. Though there may be some guitarists here, you will have a much better chance of a good answer on a page dedicated to pro equipment. They would understand the workings of... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? @ dletch2 Because people like to hear themselves talk, they do it about things they don't have any real knowledge of, 93 posts in this thread and you, have 18 of them or nearly 20%. That's about the most accurate thing I've heard you say. Psyc... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? I expect the people you have backed into a corner were as uneducated in the topic as you were. Oh I'm sure they were nowhere near as smart as you are dletch2. They were just mere mortals but they too were much smarter than me, just like you. LOL | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? @thynameDitto Seems as though they want to force their thinking & ways on me. I could care less if they want to use electric fence or dynamite wire in their system. If they hear no difference, fine with me. Just don't try to force me to use e... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? @ dletch2, jdane, djones, jjassmith and all the other Scientismists on board. You boys are good at casting aspersions on those of us who do not agree with your religion of Scientism. But do you have any REAL science to back up your assertions? You... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? @orgillian192 A test of systems (or components in a system not my own) playing it to me would still be useless as my reference is my own system and without a direct comparison to that, I would have virtually no frame of reference to opine on what... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? @douglas_schroeder I agree with your perspective. The reason I post this is because we have a lot of new people who have been putting forth this scientismist POV. There are also new people here who really want the proper info. They don't know. Hop... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? @millercarbon The subject was the premise double blind testing is inappropriate and meaningless. The supporting evidence is a study involving speech recognition. The flaw in the reasoning, no evidence is given that speech recognition and componen... | |
| Why Audiophile Cables Might Sound Better I like him because he is thorough and tries to expose both sides of the argument. I'll check out the link. Hans has a similar video but I have not seen it. Thanks | |
| Best 2channel amps for my speakers. @ronbocoWith your budget, you should have no trouble getting a proper amp/preamp or and very good Integrated amp. BTW an integrated amp has both preamp & amp. So, if you get a tube pre, you only need an amp. But as I said before, check with th... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? @hilde45 I'm naive about this debate, but if someone is willing to help me, IF ABX testing is useful at all, in what circumstances is ABX most useful and when is it least useful?Blind audio testing – PS Audio | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? @edgewound Harman Int'l uses blind testing quite frequently... Yes they do. So does Paul McGowan. (see above link) But it is a meant for mfg's purpose, Harmon also trains their testers HOW to listen. And HERE is where most people fail. They eith... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? @cleeds The notion that blind testing for audio is an absolute test is absurd, and on so many levels. There is abundant literature (although not enough) on the frailty and limitations of blind testing in all matters of research. (That doesn’t me... | |
| Cables, just as important as a hi end component? Trust your own ears and experience...in the end, you are the only person that need convincing. That’s far too sensible for some, Do no harm to a signal! Does this mean..... | Audiogon Discussion Forum | |
| Do no harm to a signal! Does this mean..... Isnt this the reason for paying up for cables cause,its so hard to limit signal damage? No That’s why it makes no sense! False premise.So why post false premises? What does it add? You posted a good question about how much to spend on cables and t... |
