Did Amir Change Your Mind About Anything?

Just don't make contrived analogies as if that will amount to anything.

Practice what you preach. Are you incapable of feeling shame for what amounts to a contrived (and poorly constructed) analogy in your rebuttal? Practically everything you came up with reeks with desperation in an attempt to draw parallels of what passes for the rigors of testing in audio reproduction (if there really is such a thing) to what can be accomplished in ensuring accuracy in watches and the way they are measured, not to mention what even the highest standards of watch accuracy are and how they're determined. 

Have fun with your scopes.

All the best,

I would *love* for you to set up such a blind test for everyone who comes to your room there. Are you going to do that and publish the results at the end?

Only if you promise to be one of the everyone.

It wouldn’t be my first large scale/show blind test, only the first where participants would be aware.

And flat FR is sometimes boring.

Virtually useless and perhaps harmful for deciding which sounds better.

As a speaker maker, what do you have to say about this?  Is CEA-2034 frequency response measurements "virtually useless" and "perhaps harmful" in determining the fidelity of the speaker?  

He must be talking about an amplifier or DAC. Loudspeakers have an infinite number of FRs radiating 3 dimensionally, not "A" flat FR.

Speaking of which, your Salon2s have good on/off axis FR and full bandwidth, no subs needed. You game for a blind test vs some garage speakers at PAF '24?

I don't have a pair of large remote turntables and AVA ABX remote box, etc, etc, nor do any blind listening tests, so have no fear, they'll do just fine. 

As an aside, conducting a proper audio double-blind test is tricky business. I've seen it done and it's not as easy as it looks. When they’re well conducted, I’ve found that many differences become harder to distinguish than might be expected.

Well, a good test would have both positive and negative controls. Training also.

There is no such video. Stop making stuff up AJ. I have never, ever used an analyzer when taking these blind tests.

Umm, over your right shoulder, in background

Edit, can't embed image but its on the video
