Al, your comments are an excellent example of the Backfire Effect. The Backfire Effect is the stubborn refusal to change ones views no matter how much evidence to the contrary piles up. The Backfire Effect is, ironically perhaps, the clinging to o...

agear OP1,155 posts10-06-2016 5:08pmGeoff, what an artisanal drum maker. Wow. Wow, indeed. Of course the take away of the Charlie Watts snare drum is that the shell is steel, not maple. Maybe audiophiles should use steel plates instead of maple bo...
