RE: The hearing aid example you mention is apt!

Your quote :-
>>> "Do normal people buy hearing aids in order to achieve super human hearing ability?
Or, do they need them in order to be able to more closely hear things like you and I do, naturally?
Hearing aids are a 'remedial' tool.
I would say that there are many tweaks that work the same way, remedially, at best.
This notion also easily exlpains why so many people do not hear the result of remedial tweaks. They do not require remediation.
May, you claim to work with the hearing impaired, and I believe you." <<<

WOW !!!!

Many of the tweaks are "remedial" ??? !!!!!!

WOW !!!!

>>> "May, you claim to work with the hearing impaired, and I believe you." <<<

WOW - some jibe !!! I don't think that sentence was meaning just those few simple words - "May works with the hearing impaired." I think that sentence was meant to extend out much further, to extend to others !! In your rush to 'rubbish' me you have also inferred that many hundreds of people, by using various 'tweaks', "MUST require such remediation".

So, Enophile, I will repeat the questions I asked you some time ago but will alter them slightly.
I asked you certain questions regarding your concept that people who hear 'various tweaks' are "needing" them as a 'prop', as a 'talisman', as a 'ritual' and I quoted various 'tweaks' which certain well known and respected journalists had stated had 'improved their sound'.
I asked you if, in your opinion, THEY only 'heard' those 'tweaks' working (improving their sound) because they 'needed' them as props, talismen, rituals ??

Turning these same questions around slightly I ask :-

Are you saying that such as John Atkinson "heard" painting the outer edge of a CD with the Green pen improve his sound because that 'tweak' was a "remedial tool" which he needed to enable him to hear what you say you are hearing naturally ???

Are you saying that such as Michael Fremer "heard" demagnetising CDs and LPs improve his sound because that 'tweak' was a "remedial tool" which he needed to enable him to hear what you say you are hearing naturally ???

Are you saying that such as John Atkinson "heard" attaching Harmonic Dots to his speaker cabinets give him improvements in his sound because that 'tweak' is a "remedial tool" which he needs to enable him to hear what you say you are hearing naturally ???

And therefore, by that (your) definition, so do many other people !!!

I can't believe how you choose to 'jibe out' so many people.

Regards,
May Belt.
