"Experts? Clark openly admits science does not apply to audio so how can he be an expert. I do not know much about Jon other than a few wacky statements about cables which would seem to be rather a hindrance to a claim to be an expert in any area related to scientific thought."It is easy to be uninformed, but that is still no excuse for not even bothering to look. I seem to recall one of the more famous objectivists that used to post here that insisted that other people look things up for themselves. I am not claiming to be an expert on DBT's, but I have studied things a bit, done some controlled listening tests (which are the basis for my DIY audio cable designs), and provided DIY information over a wide range of topics that is pretty much well accepted and taken to be valuble and worthwhile as DIY projects.
Well, I'll make it easy by providing the URL's and info here.
My AES paper is preprint #3178, "A User Friendly Methodology for Subjective Listening Tests", presented at the 91st AES convention, October, 1991. I can send a free copy to anyone who requests it via e-mail, or if you are stubbornly independant, you can purchase a copy at the AES website it is available for $5, and can be ordered from:
