Anyone can hear a difference

It's almost maddening to hear people end their argument with "anyone can hear a difference" or propose that improvements can not be heard because the rest of the system is not up to snuff. On the contrary "anyone can hear the difference" does not prove differences exist. This is the same kind of audiophile BS that's plagued the hobby for decades. It may mean differences actually exist or simply that people thought they heard differences when there was none. A marginally stable system is more likely to sound different with minor io characteristic change than a more stable one. The fact that a component/systems performance changes more as the system evolves is probably more likely to indicate some kind of peculiarity or stability issue than one of improvement. I apologize for the rant. I find the technical conversations in most audio forums mostly baseless but here in this forum it's particularly bad. Sorry but audiophiles should reject this kind of whimsy out of hand. \ |

This is very basic stuff but the truth has never done much to slow down the pseudo-science brigade. |
Articulate and to the point. Thanks Tony (nt), posted on October 8, 2014 at 12:31:31 | |

in future, please just guess and not ask me questions on my posts on clarifications that are obvious. |
I would refer to that as linearity., posted on October 11, 2014 at 07:47:05 | |

then you are using the term incorrectly; linearity is not stability |
