| What is wrong with audiophiles? Yeesh.Cleeds, the nature of testing claims, from individual, to groups, to devices, has been clear to some of us all along.The only reason I jumped in on that subject was due to YOUR writing in a “convoluted” and confusing manner on the subject. Y... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? Cleeds,Ok, sure. But that’s not what you’d written which is why it was unclear.You said those who want to use controlled tests to test a single claim made by a single listener misunderstood science. Which is false for the reasons I gave. Single li... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? Cleeds,Exactly. A controlled listening test is just a tool. Those who want to use it to test a single "claim" made by a single listener are misunderstanding the science big time. I seem to remember you making that incorrect claim before.Individual... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? But seriously, set aside the serial straw man arguments, the fact is its not being sure of hearing- quite the opposite. Its second-guessing, doubting, discounting and explaining away what you’re hearing.This is where I find your use of the term "a... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? You feelin’ ok, millercarbon?This particular rant seems a tad unhinged :)I find it awfully strange that you keep accusing “audiophiles” of denying the subjective experience approach - “If I believe I heard it then it’s true!” - when of anything th... | |
| Audio Troy Capital Audio Fest the good, the bad and the ugly! radiohead,What music convinced you that the Perspectives could do more than polite music?I'm finding my Perspectives (original) have great dynamic punch and can really rock out. Was listening to Genesis and Phil Collins' drums were very dynamic, ... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 radiohead,I look forward to reading about your experience with the new Perspectives. I hope I’m in a position to send mine in for the upgrade some time in the next year. But I’m sure enjoying this original pair.The Perspectives are certainly dynam... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 Re-visiting this thread since I’ve been happily listening to my JA Perspectives for several weeks.They continue to stun me with their clarity, resolution and tonal finesse.The upper frequencies are so extended and pure, when certain drum cymbals o... | |
| Audio Troy Capital Audio Fest the good, the bad and the ugly! Sorry geoff, I shouldn't have "jumped" on you for your comment. I get your point of view.As I stated: Even though you may find the audio at audio shows of little use or enjoyment, many others find them quite worthwhile in numerous ways. | |
| Audio Troy Capital Audio Fest the good, the bad and the ugly! I don’t know why they haven’t switched over to static displays at the big shows. Maybe because that's a ridiculous idea? It's not like hi-fi actually suffers the same restrictions as an auto show.I can't imagine traveling to an audio show (and ma... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers I'd referred to my previous post describing my Joseph speakers. | |
| Honest opinions on my two picks of loudspeakers Good lord! Between the Revel 2s and McIntosh speakers???? For me that’s like "hmm...MBLs or Bose?"The Revels are revered, rightly, as among the best speakers you can buy.You don’t see a lot of audiophile (or engineer/DIY) reverence for McIntosh, I... | |
| Do any of these interest you at all? (If you had the money)(Which I don't) I definitely have an interest in almost all of those speakers insofar as I’d love to hear them out of curiosity.It reminds me of looking through speakers on Pinterest and realizing there is this vast realm of wild looking speaker designs that I (a... | |
| Devore O 93 There seems to be some varying opinions on the Devore O series speakers when playing rock. I've seen the occaisonal person who demoed them and found them too polite with rock. I think this might be because they do not have an agressive top end. ... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Sorry, that user report I'd posted yesterday was long. Short version: I like ’em! :) |
