| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all This thread has taken a less threatening direction than most of those dealing with the usual "prove it sounds better" versus "I hear one is better" threads. I think this is largely because of Winstonsmith's use of DIY cables and good defense of th... | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all Dlanselm, was this DBT a 30 sec. exposure same/different format? You seem happy to have seen the light. That is all that matters. | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all Shadorne, more information please. I don't know what a capitalized blind test means. What did he do as a result of not being able to "discern" between the cables. I suspect nothing. Perhaps he was more able hear a difference in the sighted test if... | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all Winstonsmith, yours is a very informative post. Thanks for the information you bring to bear, which highlights the controversy well. I must say, however, that I wonder why you went so far as to say, "If people want to waste their hard-earned cash ... | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all Brizonbiovizier, why don't you take the Randi challenge? What if you heard a difference? Of course, you could just randomly say different or not different and assure you fulfilled your prior conception. This is the fallacy of DBTs. The real questi... | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all I like it, Leica man. | |
| acoustic system resonators Peterb, did you see the follow-up review on 6moons? I went to the international distributor's webpage also.My guess is that they would interact with my Halographs and Acoustic Revive Quartz Resonators. Of course there is no way of knowing beforeha... | |
| acoustic system resonators Shadorne, of course this has been over a 20 year period and usually with one device tried at a time. Once about a year ago, I removed every room resonance device and adjusted the H-Cat. Only then did I seek to reintroduce the resonance devices. If... | |
| acoustic system resonators Peterb, I assume the back wall is behind the speakers. Were I to position these eleven resonators as you suggest some would have to be on windows and cabinets or book shelves. Is that okay? Also those behind me would be behind shelves of records. ... | |
| acoustic system resonators Peterb, did you have to move the Acoustic Resonators around to find the optimal spots? Which ones did you use? | |
| acoustic system resonators Two edge sword. If you don't want to hear a difference, you won't. But I am sure you knew this. | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all Brizonbiovizier, I think you hurt what case you had by your condescension. I suggest you get off your high horse and read something about sampling theory and statistics. Phrases such as "much the merriment of true statisticians" suggest that you a... | |
| Confusion about "high-end" racks Chiroman, I had the good fortune to have been in audio since some cinderblocks and long pine boards was considered an adequate equipment rack. I remember how much my turntable improved when I put a jack on the rafters below the turntable. I rememb... | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all Brizonbiovizier, wrong on both counts. Yes, electronic components work, but that does not mean that we really know what variations might improve them. Certainly, to think that resistance, capacitance, and inductance are all that matters is simplis... | |
| Confusion about "high-end" racks Apopira2, you are correct that there are substantial differences in basic concepts between the various racks. Basically your choice is tightly grounding to the earth or isolating your components. Isolation generally means making a choice about you... |
