Did Amir Change Your Mind About Anything?

@cleeds

But you’re not an objectivist, you’re a measurementalist.

Is that what you call your doctor?  Because he measures?  Or do you rely on his knowledge and experience and the fact that he uses measurements as a tool to aid in his diagnosis?  

That’s how you can sweep aside any empirical evidence

What evidence?  I posted results of double blind listening tests.  You don't even dare to run a listening test without your eyes involved. It is an insult to the word "evidence" to call that such.

Really, all the complaining in the world is not going to change the fact that your fellow audiophiles are finding a path to knowledge of audio systems on ASR.  We are not perfect but we do try to stick to what is provable, not what is imagined.

Hmmm, so the Great Amir can't measure it, but can hear it. My my, that sure sounds audiophile myth familiar doesn't it? Coming from the Great one??

Don't play game of Calvinball.  You claimed the measurement gear behind me in new videos I produce can tell you the difference between files in blind tests.  I explained to you that those devices are not capable of detecting such things as bit depths in music files. 

That was your claim and it is falsified by the fact that you can't show any of these devices to do what you said "in theory" they can do.  They can't do that in theory or otherwise.

Remember, we are talking about analyzing music here, not equipment.  Analyzing music can be quite non-trivial depending on what you are searching for.  Simple thing like dynamic range of music cannot be determined from any commercial software.  Or even accurately using custom software.  We can make a statistical analysis but exact answer would be hard or impossible.

What is the impact of a photon of light when you hear an informative qualities perceived from two singers whose tone interact ?

None i know of...

That's right.  Sometimes the simple is the answer.  We don't need to dabble in philosophy or obscurity to analyze performance of something as simple as a DAC, audio cable or amplifier. 

You asked questions about the papers you presented.  I answered them simply and clearly together with proper back up. You keep saying I didn't and go on posting about philosophers.  No one is engaging you on the topic from your camp because stuff you are writing don't make sense or are relevant.

Instead of writing more, come back with the results of any controlled listening tests you have run that disagrees with measurements and are basis of your theories.  That is all that matters, right?  The sound we hear.

Logical fallacy, ad hominem.

Logical fallacy, ad hominem.

Misdirection and projection. I am the only one posting results of listening tests here where only my ears are involved.  Do you have some or not?
