Audio Science Review = "The better the measurement, the better the sound" philosophy

Those who clamor most loudly for blind testing rarely undertake such evaluations themselves.

@cleeds , I have seen 3 people most loudly clamor for blind testing in this discussion. Amir, who stated he has done many many blind tests. Prof, who has done at least several blind tests, which he described in this thread, and me, who has also done blind tests, which I noted.  How do you think I reached this spot?  I used to believe I could hear differences until it was shown to me I could not. I also did medical research and lived blind testing.

Thomas Edison did blind testing using whole audiences in the 1900’s to show off his new phonograph.  He had an opera singer and his phonograph behind a thin curtain on stage.  The audience was asked to guess if the singing was live or a recording.  The audience couldn’t tell the difference. 
‘Now, do you really believe his 1908 phonograph was as realistic sounding as a live human voice?  It did have something like 110 dB dynamic range. 
Test conditions make all the difference in blind testing.

You control everyone at ASR and we have a consensus of members here who feel you heavily censor your site and bannish contributors on a whim.

ASR has possibly hundreds of active members and dozens of threads, without checking. Such power of control that you attribute to Amir! The bloke must never sleep.

There are here a few disgruntled folk here who feel entitled to have their say on a forum about which they are shocked, horrified and mortified.

I’d bannish myself on a whim were I to insist on pushing the general guidelines to such a point that I became the antipathy of what the spirit of the forum is intended to convey.

I made an innocent mistake on an unrelated forum a while ago and was banished for making light of a certain person in high office. I was unaware of certain strict protocols.

I own my mistake, however innocent it may have been.
