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 are you really a scientist?

Or a crusader disciple of James Randi...Obsessed by cables like Randi was obsessed by spoon benders...
No audiophile and music lover need blind test....

Marketers of drugs or audio products perhaps need it, debunkers in a circus also or on a theater or in a show on tv....

Serious use of blind test methodology is very complex and implicate statistic in drug market for example...And anyway all the problem in audio life is the way by which we must educate our "biases" way more than the way to eliminate them... It is called a continuous series of listening experiments...Like a practicing musician on a new instrument coordinating hands and ears.. In my room i coordinated mechanical modifications about vibrations controls for example, electrical modifications pertaining to the noise floor level with devices of my own, and many many acoustical modifications ...


All that has no value for you if not blind tested? And if you work someday like me around your system will you wait for a blind test for each of the many hundred introduced modifications... Do you see the ridicule of your obsession? Do you see the misplaced imposition of blind test by you in an audiophile creative forum? and all this revendications to be a scientist from you, asking forcefully for blind tests are they not ridiculous ?



I fine tuned each one of my 40 Helmholtz tubes and pipes resonators and diffusers to actively control my link speakers/room...
And the only blind tests useful was for me accidental blind test, when some device is uninstalled or removed by accident, and my feeling said so, and simple private conscious blind test in the course of a work when a change in sound is borderline between real and placebo....

Do i need public blind test to satisfy you and mute your mantra ?



I installed a grid of Schuman generators, do i need to blind test each one addition or all of them in one test strike?

I created many devices of my own like special diffusers in set of suspended strings with passive connectors and herkimer diamond and tourmaline....

Do i need blind test to verify if they work or if it is a placebo?

Creativity cost nothing sometimes, stupidity generally cost way more....

Guess why?
                                              "Prof are you really a scientist?"

                                            Their Dissertation's title page read:

       'Blind Tests To Determine: Do Either Red Or White Boxed Wines Go Best With Chef Boyardee Pizza?'
"Well, I asked for a clear example from rodman99999 about some tweak he "hears" making a difference at home, and we get yet more scattershot rambling and links...as if someone else needs to do the job to piece it all together."

       Well, POOF clearly can't even remember what they asked for!

             From their rambling deflections, of 07-04-2021 4:09pm:

"What is it that has been scientifically established, that you think anyone is scoffing at?

What’s your actual point. Can you be clear, maybe with some actually relevant example, rather than vague waving to Quantum Mechanics, which just happens to be the de rigueur move for countless crackpot theories? (I’d be a millionaire if I had 10 cents for every new age purveyor appealing to the mystery of quantum mechanics)."

           Then: from their further deflections, of 07-05-2021 12:25pm:

"Yet when rodman is asked for any example actually relevant to anything he "hears" in his system...he punts back to "just saying it’s POSSIBLE."   Whooooooo! And down the rabbit hole we go."

"It’s precisely this cloud of irrelevance and mush that you see in defense of every goofy claim under the sun. "I believe I have this power or experience, and it’s not validated by known science...but it’s POSSIBLE...because scientists have been wrong, science doesn’t know everything, and...Quantum Mechanics!!!!"

"Look...the claim that it’s POSSIBLE is something that can be justified to show it is actually PLAUSIBLE and a REASONABLE explanation based on science.   As in "this audio tweak changing the sound is POSSIBLE based on this theory and this robust evidence."     In which case: show some bloody examples for why we should think so."

           ANYONE, with even the SLIGHTEST intellectual capacity and HONESTY, or- an IOTA of scientific/electrical understanding, would have comprehended my responses and (QUALIFIED) references.

                      NOT The POOF (and his congregants), however!

          As I mentioned, "...anything the Naysayer Church's popes can't fathom, they'll VACUOUSLY dismiss."
