Tweakers' Asylum

With your condescension you should expect an angry retort.

You don't yet understand why I find them invalid, but the concept of validity is one of the most difficult to teach in research design.

I think you would also be best served by studying selective perception and other studies of what is wrongfully called the placebo effect here. It works both ways, if you are a person who thinks "..audiophile fuses are a total waste of time and money" you will tend to not hear their benefit.

I must admit that I don't understand why those so interested in blind tests are so proselytizing. Not many have any concern with them. Furthermore I don't know why any of you weird guys think anyone owes you "proof" that they find x improves the sound. You made you God?

Live long and prosper!

You still fail to explain why the blind test I suggest, which I would just call common sense, is flawed or not a good start.
For your information, I wasn't biased against fuses when I bought my Silver Star! I don't have the luxury of spending $40 just to prove I'm right. I bought it because I thought it'd work. I thought I heard something, until I did a blind test.
You don't want to run a simple test, fine. Enjoy your fuse and its "sound". Let's not wonder how from the power station to the speakers that turn your electricity into sound, your fuse can be "heard".

- I see no value in even a "good" blind test and am surprised that you do, but hey we all do what we want. nt - Norm 10:01:38 04/21/10 (0)
