Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

I'm amused by...

an apparently unwritten rule by which the DBT proponents always fail to state the equipment (amplifiers/speakers/etc) used in the test. One such inmate comes to mind who chooses a characteristic "mysterious" style wherein he continually fails to state his point of reference and refuses direct questions as to what he has heard. He prefers instead to hide behind "I didn't say yes or no to that" sort of posts. I was rather suprised, however, when I followed a DBT link posted by him that did break the "components used" silence. What I discovered is that the tester used patently mediocre "pro" gear for testing where he stated that "it is assumed that the speakers are phase coherent". Yeah, let's (attempt to) draw conclusive tire performance determinations of the Pirelli P Zero on a Hyundai!

I have yet to see any credible test where the tester:

A) Identified the components in the reproduction chain

AND

B) Used anything beyond mediore

I would be pleasantly surprised to be proven wrong.

But then again, the unwritten rule against such disclosure may well prevent that from occurring.
