Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Addendum

This line of argument is big over at DiyA where they like to call it "hearing with your eyes" or "sighted listening."

Alright, objectivist stooges, answer me this:

If a nice chassis can totally skew my hearing, what does the sight of an overweight geeky looking research associate, possibly wearing a lab coat, at the famed Harman ABX testing facility closing the curtain in front of pair of speakers regarding whose sonic "differences" which one will be tested on, challenged to hear, do to your hearing?

Would I hear the same things in a less elaborate context? Probably not, since this is why the labs exists.

So then how is this scientific? It has zero generalizability.

Chris, it is a slippery slope, man. Don't go that way.
