Critic's Corner

So, in fact, nothing in my statement was unclear and you want to shift the discussion.

You are asking me to prove the null hypothesis, which you know very well cannot be done. So you're questions are not really honest ones, they are simply rhetoric to justify your predilection for expensive audio jewellery. The real problem is to disprove the null hypothesis, and this you have utterly failed to do.

So you chose your interconnects without having a clue as to whether or not they are neutral. While you said you would prefer choosing a neutral cable, you really have no idea.

  First of all, I have said nothing about my interconnects being neutral. If they are not neutral, then I would want to know about it--except you have produced no evidence, no reason, why I should spend my time doubting that they are neutral.
  The sun rises every morning. Will the sun rise tomorrow? I have no reason to suppose that it won't, although it is possible to think of scenarios where it would not. Isaac Asimov wrote a novel, Nemesis, in which that was set to happen and the novel is about making sure the earth was saved from destruction. But I'm not seriously expecting it to happen right now.

  - Evidence to what? - E-Stat 14:21:35 04/28/06 (5)
    You said you prefer neutral cables. Ok. Sounds reasonable to me.
    My question remains: How do you know what is a neutral cable?

      You again have asked me to prove the null hypothesis. Why don't you get honest?

        All cables are assumed to be sonically neutral regardless of the significant variations in basic LRC parameters, materials construction, connectors, and degree of RF shielding until proven otherwise by virtue of DBTs.
        Hmmm. You might not actually be using a neutral cable, but are unable to prove that empirically since you cannot trust your ears. Uh oh! What to do?

        "All cables are assumed to be sonically neutral regardless of the significant variations in basic LRC parameters, materials construction, connectors, and degree of RF shielding until proven otherwise by virtue of DBTs."
        Do you have any evidence that my interconnects or most interconnects are built so badly that they mess up the signal sufficiently to be audible?
        "Hmmm. You might not actually be using a neutral cable, but are unable to prove that empirically since you cannot trust your ears. Uh oh! What to do?"
        If one does a blind audition, whose ears is one trusting? You wilfully misrepresent the truth.
