| Reviews with all double blind testing? TBG: This thread had been put to bed. It was dormant for two weeks. I'm not the one who revived it. And if it doesn't matter to you, why do you keep posting? Go buy your expensive cables, and just enjoy the pleasure they give you. As you said, wha... | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? Henry: Go back and re-read the thread. I provided a link to a whole list of articles on DBTs, including tests of cables, amps, CD players, tweaks, etc. That's why I'm on solid ground in demanding that the opponents of DBTs do the same. As of yet, ... | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? data is the heart of science.And this thread, now at over 170 posts, still doesn't contain a shred of reliable, replicable data demonstrating audible differences between components that can't be heard in standard DBTs. There are many reasons to be... | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? Every scientific field has its own methodology, Rouvin. If you had made an effort to acquaint yourself with the rudiments of perceptual psychology, you'd be in a better position to pontificate on it. By the way, methodology is NOT at the heart of ... | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? For a guy who doesn't believe in intelligent design, Rouvin, you practice its methods to perfection. You offer no evidence of your own--no tests, no results, nothing that can be replicated or disproved. Instead, you quibble with the "methodology,"... | |
| iPod Help AIFF vs. WAV vs. Appleloss Less Lossless means lossless. It's identical to an AIFF file. | |
| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews Perhaps Von Schweikert doesn't offer its products to Stereophile for review because they fear they would fare badly in the measurements department. They wouldn't be the first. | |
| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews A lot of manufacturers don't want to be reviewed by Stereophile because they know their products will not show well in John Atkinson's measurements. So they go for magazines where there are no numbers to compete with a subjective reviewer's predic... | |
| Digital music sales to outpace CD sales Cruz: The people who are downloading music lean young. But the people who are *paying* for downloads do not lean quite so young. Still, I agree with you that this is a generational thing. Eventually, all the people who need a shiny disk in their g... | |
| Digital music sales to outpace CD sales About Apple, I hope it's true, but I'll believe it when I see it. At some point, bandwidth may be fast enough and cheap enough that it doesn't matter how big download files are, but we are very far away from that point right now. Apple Lossless wo... | |
| Digital music sales to outpace CD sales Digital downloads are mostly singles. If you count 10 singles as an album, then in 2004 CDs outsold downloads 40:1. That's going to change, but not as quickly as your paper suggests. Download sales cannot continue to triple each year indefinitely.... | |
| Speaker on its side as a center? Not a good idea. You'll be relying on the speaker's "vertical" dispersion, which is usually much worse than its horizontal dispersion. Of course, most people use horizontal center speakers, which suffer from the same problem. The best center speak... | |
| whatz up with tape input/outputs? Many people do need the tape loop, for one reason or another. Plus, it's not something you can disaggregate and sell separately as another overpriced little box. So if you leave it off, all those people won't even look at your product.Whereas leav... | |
| What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock? I have no experience with the product but I believe Geoff has a right to make a living so let him sell his products to whoever wants to buy them.I have no experience with the product but I believe the makers of laetrile have a right to make a livi... | |
| Speakers for screen porch not exposed to rain? If you mount speakers at ceiling level, you've leargely defeated the point of having a conventional high-end speaker, which is designed to put the tweeters at ear level. Plus, as you note, they won't be completely shielded from the elements. I've ... |
