The science of opinion ...

And you have just proven my point in my last post.
Lordy, I have been rescued from the darkness and see the light....!
Like I said, just another guy in a long line of guys who fancy themselves as audio saviors telling people they’re not really hearing what they hear.

That’s GOLD, Jerry, GOLD! 🤗

Yeah... that’s always what they say when they post this stuff all over the Internet. Good Samaritans saving people from spending their money.

But is it really the reason they do this? Some of them full time, in all audio groups. Do they have an agenda? Some type of guerrilla warfare marketing for whatever they are selling, be it acoustic panels, cheap class D amps, questionable cheap China copy cats?

Or is it simply sense of irrelevance and self-awareness steaming from inability to own and enjoy decent gear? Just ask them what their system is. This question alone will drive them crazy and over the cliffs 

It’s the old James Randi scam, just on a cheaper scale. When Randi couldn’t get any more action from drunks, dowsers and spoon benders he got the brilliant idea to go after audiophiles. And an excellent idea it was! It makes sense when you think about. From the skeptics’ point of view how can cables sound different? How can quantum mechanics have anything to do with sound? How can audiophiles be so gosh darn sure of what they hear? Enter the Million Dollar Blind Test Scam, I mean Challenge.

News Flash!! The AES is not (rpt not) made up of audiophiles. It’s made up of....pseudo skeptics.

When it comes to Audio Engineering Society, I have been on audiogon long enough to think I am qualified to participate...
