Russell..?

Posted by Audio Bling on June 14, 2013 at 18:29:43:
Russell is making the point that an assertion or belief should not be considered “proved” merely because it cannot be disproved.. This is like saying that it pays to be sceptical in the absence of firm evidence – a thought that predates Russell by a long way.

The JPLAY letter asserts that the computer, if it is to reproduce music successfully, needs to be better at managing itself in the time domain. And, in the absence supporting measurement it is also saying that you could let your own ears be the judge by way of a free trial. Nowhere is it asking you to put your scepticism aside. What gives JPLAY’s challenge credibility is that so many reviews have been positive.

It strikes me if you come to this (or any other) audio forum seeking “proof” you are wasting your time. This place is about the sharing of experience in the main. Read the reviews; give it a go and then tell us if you think it is bunk.
