RE: The logical fallacy is yours not mine

Hi
I would offer a couple comments on your last post;

"I'm sure you haven't looked at this, not in a serious way.
Otherwise, we'd agree. Everyone in the world who's looked at this directionality thing *seriously* is in agreement "

Interesting proposition, the logical counterpart of the old saying "when everyone agrees, no one is thinking very deeply".

"You/they have strong maybe too strong belief in science, strong belief in controlled blind testing, strong aversion to anything that remotely looks like snake oil."

I have watched the hifi area go from a scientific endeavor at the hands of folks like Dick Heyser, into a market where there are many examples of things that are psychological only in effect and so are undetectable in blind testing. The "snake oil" products have made "hifi" an area too many discredit.

The blizzard of "marketing the idea of science and progress" is how people can be amazed by ancient loudspeakers and amplifiers that can still sound remarkably good, actual improvements (which are widely heard in a blind test) are slow and few.

"I have more science and testing than you, I hope I can be so bold to say that."

Well obviously you are so bold, but based on what you have said here, i would bet that's also not true .
