A challenge to the "measurement" camp
It seems blabbering and insults is all he is capable of, well that and reneging on a challenge that he made. If he had any respect left, he would just delete this testimony to his inadequacy.  
Why do most phono preamps lack XLR input even thought cartridges are naturally balanced?
In the experiment presented, and the "concept" for shielding presented, their is an external magnetic field noise source. As the shorted loop is passive, and it's current is only due to the external magnetic noise field, the field it would create ... 
A challenge to the "measurement" camp
You tried @djones51,  but obviously @andy2 , the person making the challenge, is not at all confident in his challenge, or he would have supplied the measurements when you took him up on the challenge.

While room echoes can help in locating, much of what you experienced is psycho-acoustic (suggestion, coupled with familiarity) unless they used a proper torso simulator for the capture and if my memory serves, that was not done for this test recor...

Your ears/brain use several things for placement of a sound:The difference in arrival time for approximately the same sound between your two ears gives you angular position. This works best between about 120Hz to about 1500Hz, but predominantly be... 
...do great speakers increase in value over time in the vintage market?
What douglas_schroeder said, which should be obvious. I think you would be hard pressed to find very many pieces of audio equipment that are worth more today than when new when inflation is taken into account. There will always be exceptions to th...

Who says cables don't make a difference?
You mean convinced themselves there is a huge difference. Many an audiophile friend has claimed that to me, only for me to break their bubble by showing them that absent knowing what is connected, they couldn't tell the difference. Not always. Had... 
Who says cables don't make a difference?
But how do you know the cables you like MGlik do the least harm to the signal. Only way to prove that is with .... Wait for it Wait for itWait for it Measurements!

There is a reason why Sonos has sales of $1 Billion.

Why do most phono preamps lack XLR input even thought cartridges are naturally balanced?
I was not saying that shorting the shield with a loop will pick up noise kijanki. It will act as a shorted turn and will direct an external magnetic field away from inside conductors to a degree. However, it will also act as a shorted turn to the ... 
Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles?
.. or at least think they are. 
DAC Measurements vs Actual Experience
But even your ears can trick you. An audiophile bought a pair of well reviewed speakers and loved them at the store and initially when he got them home. But over time he just felt there was something "wrong". Some music sounded amazing, some not s...
