The invention of measurements and perception
kosst_amojanThen tell me what the actual quantitative value of blue is. Any shade, I don't care ...You can choose your own shade. Obtain a tristimulus colorimeter, and you can measure the exact shade of any color you choose. It's a science. Of c... 
Help! Power question
pcc67On the panel should be 2 legs. Put ac on one side and outlet on the opposite leg.His problem is with a central A/C. That means it's almost certainly 240VAC (if in the US), which means it's attached to both legs of his electric service.  
Are high sample rates making your music sound worse?
mzkmxcv You don’t even need measurement gear, all you need is a program that loads the two digital files and shows you the difference between them.If you truly think listening doesn't matter, then you're the single best example of confirmatio... 
The invention of measurements and perception
kosst_amojanWhat exactly is the numeric value of blue?That depends on what shade of blue you're talking about. Any shade of any color can be numerically identified, however. I'm surprised you don't know this, but that reveals why you'd make this ... 
Are manufacturers having discussions removed from Audiogon if they turn negative?

Back to the drawing board
jhillsFrequencies below 60 HZ are non directional and do not contribute to the imaging character of the main speakers. This is often claimed, but easily proven mistaken. Low frequencies do contain directional clues - it's all about phase.There...

Are manufacturers having discussions removed from Audiogon if they turn negative?
tonykay I added my two cents about the Tekton thread yesterday, and the entire thread disappeared by the end of the day. The admins here probably don’t pull every negative thread, only when a particular product attracts an avalanche of well-d...

whartI can't remember if the headlights pivoted, i thought those got outlawed at some point in the States)Pivoting headlights are allowed in the US. It's a great feature.  
The invention of measurements and perception
kosst_amojanBrains are vastly more similar than they are different. It’s the individual’s delusional inventions of self that tend to differ more radically. If you truly believe that so many here suffer from delusions - which are indicators of...

kosst_amojanBrains are vastly more similar than they are different. It’s the individual’s delusional inventions of self that tend to differ more radically. Will you please explain this? Are you actually suggesting that most people are delusiona... 
Any one try the new Synergistic Research BLUE UEF Duplex receptacle?
thezaksIt’s easy to blame it on placebo when one does not believe in break in or cannot tell the difference.Exactly. And the irony is that the reasoning that leads to the claim of placebo effect may in fact itself be the result of placebo effec...
