Reviews with all double blind testing?
Pableson, I find your posts interesting though not really responsive to the initial thread by TBG about the place of DBT in audio. Nor, have I felt that your posts have been responsive to my similar concerns and additional concerns about experimen... 
Reviews with all double blind testing?
Pabelson,I think we may be closer than you think on this issue but you seem to want it both ways, a difficulty I see repeatedly in "objectivist" arguments. You say:" For badly implemented tests, they've yielded remarkably consistent results, both ... 
Reviews with all double blind testing?
Pabelson, interesting challenge, but let’s look at what you’ve said in your various posts in this thread. I’ve pasted them without dates, but I’m sure that you know what you’ve said so far. "What advances the field is producing your own evidence—... 
Reviews with all double blind testing?
DBT as done in audio has significant methodological issues that virtually invalidate any results obtained. With improper experimental design methodology, any statistics generated are suspect. Regularly compounding the statistical issues is sample ... 
Tone arm cable for SME V
Many cables require a break in period of several hundred hours. Translating that into hundreds (perhaps, even more than 1000)of LP sides and accompanying stylus wear before full break-in should serve to strike dread into the hearts of anyone consi... 
Hiow to replace wall wart on step up with battery
Herman,At least, I did manage to learn a good bit from this dialogue. You are right that feeding DC from the batteries directly to the regulators is something tht I don't want to attempt. Seemed like such a good idea, though.... 
Hiow to replace wall wart on step up with battery
Herman,Once again, thanks for all the info.But it does leave me a bit confused. The limits of my electrical understanding must have been reached, so if this seems too elementary, bear with me.I don't understand how the AC to DC conversion is done ... 
Hiow to replace wall wart on step up with battery
Thanks for the info on the parameters I should be considering, Herman. A great help. Since the Naim you modified was presumably an AC unit (as is the Lukaschek)and most battery power is DC, does this add an additional parameter I should be looking... 
Hiow to replace wall wart on step up with battery
RWwear,Thanks. This sounds almost too easy to be true, but I'll start looking into thisand Xiekitchen,I haven't heard them side by side in the same system, but there is a bit of opinion on the two on Ausio Asylum:http://db.audioasylum.com/cgi/sear... 
Blind Power Cord Test & results
Drubin,Perhaps I was a bit too jocular in that post. If this obscured my point, sorry about that.My point was that good experimental designs are very hard to accomplish, and this experiment had so many difficulties, I can’t see how it could be val... 
Blind Power Cord Test & results
Welcone to Statistics 101, and so snickering, please.A not all that close reading of the article will lead anyone familiar with experimental design to conclude that the results are without meaning. I'm sorry I didn't see this thread sooner so my c...
