Some seem to think everything sounds the same and no differences exist. One even said upgrading Speakers makes no difference. Apparaently the Kef bottom-of-the-line Bookshelf is no different than the Top of the Reference Series. 'Whaaaaaaa? What do you think about the Placebo Effect? I know it exists, but applying it to all aspects of Hi Fi Gear seems extreme. I suppose there are no differences between Mics or Recorders. Of course not. All a PLOT to take our money. |
That's weird, those pushing placebo effect are the same ones who don't think they're gullible., posted on July 30, 2022 at 05:55:49 | |

Ammar Jadusingh, aka AJinFLA is a frustrated speaker designer who loved the term "voodoo" and hated everything that related to audiophiles. He had his minute in the spotlight ten years ago. Here's a really funny post. He most likely didn't like my bettering him. ;) |

For some reason, Mtrycrafts still sticks in your craw, after 20 years or so! You mistake my enjoying him as a great source of humor! You cannot get any more clueless. I encountered him on AR as well. :) Obviously you did not do a search on Mtrycrafts. Actually, I did but searched for him as user, not "text". Banned and officially gone, the posts that remain indeed do not locate such an inmate. So now you are providing me with an authority, Richard Vandersteen. In prior posts, I mentioned three. Voecks is a former NRC guy who's the lead at Revel. Gene's tinkering around with the concept is not the same as those who have been employing that in their speakers for decades. edit: After reminiscing a bit, I found this one.
