new GAN amplifier
I am not sure what the goal is with these quotes. Pretty much none of these people are experts in signal processing, and to long term advance the start of the art of class-D, it will require a different knowledge set than linear amplifiers. Thorst... 
Congratulations Atmasphere!

With the quality, convenience and cost of streaming these days, honestly, I can be bothered with physical media any more.  
The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance
And most people take that same TV set home, complete with the awful settings in the store, set it up in their house, and then leave it in cartoon mode till it eventually dies, never knowing how much better the image could be especially for movies....

When you have no idea what you are listening to, then you remove all bias w.r.t. that product you are evaluating. I may not be sure, but some of what you have alluded to as bias in your last post, I think many would call preference. That is much d...

I am really starting to detest it, these guys who think they have superhuman hearing and that they alone , and their close-knit group are so superhuman that they are immune to bias that afflicts pretty much 100% of the population. They post on vir...

This is such a grossly inaccurate statement as to call it bubkiss. While ideally the test would be double blind, that is not always a viable thing to do. There are two biases, subject bias and observation bias. Single blind removes subject bias, w...

I am sure it is not just me that questions the agenda of someone that actively tries to suppress people learning.Probably the #1 lesson that an audiophile can learn is that they are susceptible to bias. If and audiophile claims they are not, they ...

I would offer a suitable response to this question, but I believe some would view my response as not politically correct. Let's just say that many people hold onto illusions virtually their whole life. no illusion can persist in a cumulative long ...

Unfortunately I believe the only answer you will get to "why" is excuses. The why is obvious. High chance of failure coupled with high cost of failure.My point was I can not find any posts on the internet where someone could reliably differentiat...

Other than the process, there is nothing objective at all about blind testing, or ABX testing. The actual testing is 100% purely subjective. By removing sighted bias, it ensures a much higher level of subjectivity.

And see how geoffkait proves my point. One only has to read his repeated posts about CD wobble and laser scatter, often in threads that have nothing to do with CD playback, and his total lack of what should be easily measured results to understand...

This is why your personal "experiences" when evaluating new equipment should be as blind as possible, so you can eliminate bias which is exceptionally powerful.  Perceived significant changes in ones own personal system often disappear when bias (...
