In Reply to: You are right that I have not been in a quality electronic lab in years posted by Norm on August 26, 2006 at 07:04:08:
When they didn't measure any difference with leased very high quality equipment, there are many possibilities (assuming people weren't being fooled about audible differences). Fine equipment is only the beginning of he story. Even my very smart graduate students have to be supervised and mentored for a long time before they can be sure of making reliable measurements. The person is at least as important as the equipment. Second, as I said before, they may well have not been measuring the right thing or, while they measured it, they didn't interpret it correctly or attach any significance to it.As I said before, right now the ear-brain is much better at this. Look at the simple example of a picture of someone. It has been a major job to get a computer to recognize someone, but we can do it with extremely limited visual information with ease. We can often rcognize a person a block away simply by their walk and very general apperance. We are not challenging the limits of measurments here, but we are making use of a variey of subtle clues in a complex computer- our brain- with an extensive memory system. But there's nothing mysterious or magic going on.
