| Dartzeel amp lives up to hype I would find it very difficult to not have a SET. Do any of you have efficient enough speakers to use triodes and compared the DartZeel with one? | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? Okay, objectivists, one more try. I have participated in same/different DBTs and found that I could not hear differences. I have also participated in double blind tests that merely selected which preamp sounded best. In this case differences were ... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Please don't assume guys that I much like Nora Jones. It was what came to mind when Jayctoy suggested something where he would not have to send me the original. | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? Qualia, you say, "Why anyone, whether or not they think DBT is the *final* word, would ignore DBT as a way of determining where to spend their own money (speakers, room treatment first, then other stuff) is beyond me. " It is totally beyond me why... | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? Shadorne, I understand your moderate position. Please take no offense when I simply say that I strongly suspect that DBT is an invalid testing of what people hear. I am not really concerned either that some, myself included, cannot hear difference... | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? As I have said at least 5 times, your statement that, "ABX test, generally regarded in scientific circles as the gold standard for determining audible differences" is not true. But neither of us will ever convince the other, so why don't we just d... | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? Pabelson, you owe us an explanation of how two amps that replicate music differently can sound identical in the restrictions of DBTesting. | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? Perhaps because the neuroscientist/psychoacousticians don't intend their testing to deal with what is most accurattely replicates music as the experimental context necessitates tight and brief controls. | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Tvad, not in my opinion. So what you wanted is for Jayctoy to say it has no high frequencies? | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Tvad, yes now that you mention it, so have I. There is no loss of highs with the RC copies, however. | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? I cannot speak for Jaycoy, of course, but I think both of your senses of air are tightly related. With the greater quiet and blackness of the noise background comes more information on the venue including ambience and reverberation. I would charac... | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? Pabelson, no I have no interest in whether a reviewer can hear a difference between components using DBT using the usual same/different format. Since I don't think it is valid, I would rather continue my present procedure of find whose reviews pro... | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? Pabelson, why do you willfully ignore the truth? It is only your CLAIM that DBT gives the reality, when you say "DBT--because it usefully separates reality from illusion" Certainly you don't claim that DBTesting is isomorphic to reality. It is a w... | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? Where is your evidence? Perhaps by your definition which is not widely shared. | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? Gregm, I think you are absolutely right that to many of us want others to bless our choices, be it for wine, women, or audio. I stopped going to audio society meetings in New York as too much of the conversations were "mine is bigger than yours" c... |
