Why is science just a starting point and not an end point?


Measurements are useful to verify specifications and identify any underlying issues that might be a concern. Test tones are used to show how equipment performs below audible levels but how music performs at listening levels is the deciding criteria. In that regard science fails miserably.

Why is it so?

Prof-
Have you ever tried ANYTHING that Mahgister has suggested? Try some Helmholtz resonators in your room. They are effective.
Prof-
"Do you have anything more robust?" 
I have implemented plenty into my system that is more "robust" but way beyond your ability. All I'm asking you to do is:
1. Select a CD for experimentation and listen to it
2. Take the cap off a green permanent marker
3. Apply green marker to the outside edge of a CD
4. Listen to treated disc
5. Decide for yourself if it's worthwhile & let us know

Easy
By the way prof read this about magnetic field effect for healing....

There is another doctor here that think that it is possible is it another crook? for you for sure...

But being rational i will not go full speed against him ...Read his short areticle... It is not a proven scientific fact but it seems that this magnetic field effect deserve scientific experiments more than your power to decree what is science and what it is not are suggesting to us in your post...

For faith healers and phone psychic i will let you keep them in your bag with deluded audiophiles tough....It will be too long post for me to reveal the limiting power of your "scientific papal brain"...

By god you seem to be gullible.


Of course I referenced a specific theory of earthing: "improving their health" by "grounding themselves magnetically to the earth" with their bare feet." I’ve already seen the "theory" taken apart by knowledgeable people, so yeah I’m familiar with it, which is why I brought it up.


By contrast, in a thread with science as it’s theme, you say "It takes one second to look for a positive reason to walk barefoot by a doctor on the net"


Sure, one second of googling...and you think this addresses my point and are apparently convinced "it’s a real thing!"



That’s a really steel-trap, critical, scientific-minded approach you have going there.


Here’s someone a little more knowledgeable and cautious about the "theory" - a clinical neurologist and assistant professor at Yale University School of Medicine:

Anyway, that’s your nip at the bait. You’re back on your own now.Bye.

You misunderstand.

This thread is about how science, and the scientific method, bares upon audio claims.

You are simply repeating a request to engage in non-scientific anecdotal method, with zero control for imagination and bias.

If you can pass a listening test with such controls, showing you can indeed hear a difference between a CD green penned and not, without "peeking" - be my guest.
