WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR?

“My observation was there only to say that BACCH filters is a more interesting matter and more important than your debunking invitation to solve costly cables differences obsession among audiophile ...”

Go back to my original post in this thread. The ONLY thing I was trying to debunk were the cliche mischaracterizations of audiophiles that accept what science tells us about the audibility of certain controversial elements of high end audio. It’s not jealousy, it’s not a lack of experience, it’s not a lack of “resolution” in my system or any of the other made up reasons. Clearly that original post started a fire here. 
 

now what more would you like me to say about the BACCH that I haven’t already said? I am happy to talk about that!

“You have my post deleted only to quote it. What a manly maneuver. 

You're way over your head on this.”

I didn’t have your post deleted. I’m in over my head with what? Slinging insults? I’ll concede that…
 

Got anything to say about audio?

Do whatever the hell you want ... What you or anybody else does with that information is up to you and them. 

Thanks for granting your approval, but we really don't need your permission before making a decision. You'll have to live with that.

All I said was ABX doesn’t have to be complex or difficult to do thanks to a number of ABX programs.

You couldn't be more wrong. For one thing, precise level-matching and the ability to switch quickly are basic requirements of an ABX test. There's no ABX program that truly simplifies that for comparing a component, and a flawed ABX test is, by definition, scientifically invalid.

As I've noted before, conducting a scientifically valid controlled listening test such as ABX is not as simple as it may appear. I've participated in a few such tests conducted by real professionals, and the degree of diligence they displayed was really impressive. It's not a casual undertaking.

@cleeds , You are imagining very unnecessary things.

Blind Test:

Step a) Test subject sits with a blindfold on couch

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Step b) ASR dude does cable swaps between 2 speaker cables 8 ft long each 20 times. He may swap, he may not even swap and say "ok, go" to try and trick the test subject, etc...20 freaking times (for statistical significance).

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Step c) Another guy or 2 watch ASR dude so he ain’t doing anything too weasely...like he brought a 3rd cable with him or something, which was not under test consideration just to fk with the test subject. In other words, they watch his ass so he’s only doing swaps between the 2 specific cables under consideration.

Serves the Purpose! Works pretty good! Highly scientific!
