"If you have cancer go for the loving doctor"

So, you want your doctor to be unloving? I had three cardiologists....and the only one that figured out what was really wrong was the super loving one. Love does not mean lack of science......love means you care enough about the person that you look deeper because you CARE. Thank God for this loving doctor......I might not even be here now, if he did not care so much.

I would say 98 percent of the threads and interactions on this forum are subjective based......very little talk of measurements, except when an objectivist drops in to stir the pot.......or a product is discussed that was reviewed on ASR.....etc. So, what is an objectivist doing on this forum? Hardly anyone cares about graphs and blah blah. You certainly cannot have a discussion with an objectivist about what sounds good. It is like a atheist walking into a church and waving a science book in the air and talking real loud about how there is no God as it cannot be measured and proved via science. What purpose is this behavior? Does it make anyone happy? This behavior is NOT loving. Love gives people what they want.....not what you want. People here want better sound. Got any of that? What and who are you glorifying? Life is incredible......we are all beautiful.....may we all see and feel our own worth and beauty.

Let's do the "Summer of Love"  forever!!!!!!

Remember the Troggs?....."Love is all around us".....check it out on Youtube.

@ricevs , I will just have to accept that you pull this loving "crap" when you are losing an argument.

Arguing and winning is what the ego does. How are you helping anyone by your words? Love does not care about winning.....Love simply cares about everyone.

When I was in jr. college I took a class called "marriage and family"......The very first thing the teacher did was to draw a six foot line on the chalkboard....and at the left end he wrote "ego"......on the right end he wrote "agape"......He turned around and said that the further we were to the right on this graph the more happy we would be and the more happy others would be.....I about fell off my chair. This is the bottom line......we choose to live somewhere on that line every moment. The evolution of the soul is just that.......moving to the right......or if you made the line vertical....moving upwards to the light (ever raising our vibration). We are all so blessed. We are the very light ourselves.....the light of light....share it freely with everyone.

Oh boy, another thread taken over by a futile subjective vs objective argument.

I'd only suggest vast majority here subjectivists, we like to experience things for outselves.

I can do initial experiment with Giandel for little initial outlay, lower wattage Giandel, lead acid car battery, cheapo battery charger, some cables. So, I hear improvement  or at least potential, move up, I hear nothing, end of experiment. No big loss of money, and I get to experience rather than listen only to theoreticals. I prefer experiential learning to commands from on high.

theaudioamp,

Your entire lengthy post of 8/8 11 PM is FALSE.  In particular, 

"No, any piece of equipment does not have a sound. This is Philelore and is not true."

"And I personally know lots of people who believe stuff that is absolutely not true, but that does not make them or the large amount of people who believe the same thing correct."

How do you determine the TRUTH of anything?  We are talking about whether a piece of equipment, even a single wire has a sound signature.  Inductive reasoning starts with observation, in this case listening under controlled conditions.  Most audiophiles have repeatedly heard differences in their homes.  They wouldn't spend money and keep their components if they didn't hear differences.  They don't care whether measurements corroborate their sonic evaluations.  Their repeated listening evaluations summate into the TRUTH that there are subjective differences when the measurement people cannot find technical answers.

However, the measurement people start from a stubborn bias that measurement tells the story.  They allow their bias to obliterate any listening differences they may hear.  You went into Jay's two videos with a bias to confirm your belief that there are no differences between the two Stromtanks.  Later, you admitted that there are differences and you heard them, but YT flaws could not allow you to draw the obvious conclusions by everyone else who listened and found the S2500 was far superior.

Next point.  You said, "A good medical doctor will listen, but they will also try to understand enough about the drug to know whether the claimed side effect is remotely possible because not all side effects will be possible."  This shows how little you know about clinical practice.  The typical objectivist academic doctor thinks he knows what is possible or impossible, but he bases his beliefs on published studies in academic journals.  If a patient tells him something that he has not read in journals, he says there is no evidence for the patient's claim.  TOTALLY WRONG.  There IS evidence, albeit unpublished, but the dumb doctor is not open minded enough to listen to his patient.  The doctor thinks he knows it all, but sometimes the patient knows better.  Many excellent clinicians I admire write dedications in their books to patients who have taught them things, and they are grateful to their patients for that.

My conclusion is that either your listening skills are poor, OR more likely you have an agenda bias to interfere with your good hearing ability if it actually is intact.  More importantly, you are not open minded enough to trust the ears of people who know there are differences.  These differences are not published in academic engineering journals with double blind studies.  You claim that only double blind experiments are valid.  That shows you have the mindset of that dumb doctor.
