In Reply to: One the question will you "... have the decency to STFU and accept your own statement?" posted by bjh on April 27, 2006 at 08:20:10:
I am not responsible for what 'you' think might or might not be difficult. What I 'think' might be hard to hear is irrelevant, too, it's the results of the controlled blind auditions that count. One would also like some replication of some of the claims that have been made by JR and occasionally others.Also, I am not responsible if you fail to understand the problems. Assuming audibility is established, we want to know what the change to the signal was, and it's most probably something fairly basic, nothing esoteric. Maybe Mr. Atkinson knows: he should if he's really interested in the science--but typically, he doesn't publish measurements of cables and interconnects (Audioholics.com has). Personally, I wouldn't want an interconnect that sounded different from neutral ones.
Just because you think blind tests are not practical does not do anything to make sighted auditions reliable.
