Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

Gifted Listeners and RBT

*Really Blind Test*

Bill and Pete are freinds of mine. Pete (left) and Bill are philes. Pete builds tube amps and is and engineer by trade, both are mainly vinyl guys. Bill has not seen anything but the colors of sounds since age 3 he's 75 now. Bill's getting more out of life than five sighted guys, you should see his drunken Tarzan immitation on a 20ft rope swing! Bill is a piano restorer and tuner for the last 50 plus years. Hep cats on a misssion-they are the most musically driven philes I have met. No time for cable comparo's, there is simply too much music to digest before life ends and we fly away. They show up at listening seesions, hour long with dozens of cd's they would like to hear and trade volumes of genre's. Bill's showroom features hundred year old piano's that he has restored from near junk. Far better than a new instrument these beauty's are the real deal when it comes to relaxed and colorful tone decay that lasts to seemingly infinity. Bill also has 3000 lp's and a fine sounding hifi. Bill can hear trees and buildings and ususally takes his am walk without a whitestick. If the winds not blowing he "sees" everything.

When it comes to sound systems Pete and Bill would qualify as "canary's in a coal mine" for smelling bad sound quickly. But they are just "guys on the street" who happen love music. Picture shows the two recently at CES sniffing out good sound. They trust their ears, do you? TC
