In Reply to: Got you on the run, eh? You don't have an expensive ABX box but you want me to get one. posted by Pat D on February 25, 2007 at 18:00:48:
"I trust you do understand the difference between ABX and DBT--or do you?"ABX is a kind of DBT. One of many kinds.
"Did you somehow miss the point I brought up that some make claims to hear very small differences in sound? Apparently you did miss it."Apparently you will do anything to answer a simple question. Why? What are you running from?
""So what is up with the double standard? You say it's none of my business when I ask but then you turn around and ask me."
You asked me, so I turned around and asked you."
Yeah and unlike you I answered. What are you afraid of?
""Do you feel that you have some sort of special privilidge that you can challenge others on their ways of doing things but yours can not be questioned?"Silly question. Of course I have no special privileges."
Then just answer the question. I did.
" I do wonder why you ask irrelevant questions."
How is it irrelevant?
" Oh, you want to imply something or other, of course. I understand that."It looks like you are desperate to hide something what is it? Either you use it or you don't and either way you must have some reason for your choice. Why are you sooo afraid to discuss it?
"What are those "ways of doing things" you are talking about."
No it's your turn to answer the simple questions put before you.
" But since you have already raised the question of choosing equipment, I will point out that I have not suggested one needs to use DBTs (much less an ABX machine) to choose equipment, unless one wants to. For some reason of your own you wish to suggest something that is contrary to fact."
Where have I done any such thing? You seem quite paranoid. What is it about the truth about how you audition components that makes you so ashamed that you would do anything not to answer the question? So I'll ask it again, do you use ABX when auditioning components and why or why don't you use it? It's such a simple question. Why does it scare you so much to answer it?
Follow Ups:
I asked you that and you gave no satisfactory answer.What has whether I use blind tests to choose equipment to do with the price of eggs in China? Especially since I don't suggest using DBTs do choose equipment unless one wants to do.

Afraid of being exposed as a hypocrite?
I just played with you until you showed your true colors.Why should I answer an irrelevant question? If you're happy with those interconnects, speaker cables, bricks and other tweaks in your system, how does what I do affect you or your hearing abilities?

The questions were very simple and straight forward. If you had no agenda to hide then there would have benn no reason for you not to answer the questions. And still you don't answer the questions. Why not? What are you afraid of?
You're almost as bad as TG54.

One need look any further then this exchange to see your lack of integrity.
Gees Pat, we are trying to communicate with one of the dimmest lights in the universe !!!
what a load of crap. You are trying to avoid a straight forward discussion on the use of ABX in the auditioning of potential purchases of new components. Funny how you guys squirm when the shoe is on the other foot.
We haven't recommended that you use DBTs for choosing equipment.

Why can't you simply answer simple questions about ABX?
Are making unsupported allegations your idea of integrity?
