Articles You Feel Should be Shared


I’ll kick off with a recent posting by the remarkably clear-sighted and even handed Archimago.

Once again cutting through layers of mostly deliberate confusion, obfuscation and denial.

Production, Reproduction and Perception - the 3 pillars upon which everything in our audiophile world stands, is my new mantra.

So simple it’s surprising that no one else pointed it out earlier.

I dont understand this obsession with blind test at all....

The goal of an audiophile or of anybody that want to increase the S.Q. of his audio system is to implement various methods of controls and tweaks that amount to a a regular incremental increase in S.Q. in a period of weeks, months, and years....

Do you need a blindtest to compare your own system before any controls methods and after?

Even for one slight increase after a change, who need a blindtest?

Learning to listen to music and learning to listen to the sounds go hand in hand and they are a process in time....The learning process dont need blindtest at all....People who want to sell something need it, marketters or debunkers......

Awake yourselves.... :)

As your friendly local testing guru, can I say for the umpteenth time any test, even a controlled test, has no significance because of the situation in audio system that so many things can go wrong with the test and usually do? You think you’re in complete control but you’re not. This is especially true for a test with negative results. Which is ironic perhaps because that’s usually what pseudo scientists tell you will happen. Would a determined pseudo skeptic lie about the results of a test? Well, duh! Maybe. That’s why tests for big projects, e.g., Government projects, are performed by independent, experienced testers, you know, someone without an ax to grind.
