| In Defense of Audiophiles, Bose, Pass, Toole and Science Ive seen it used in consumer product research and marketing very heavily especially food and drink. But at the end of the day it doesn’t matter how good you design cola to taste some folks are always going to prefer Pepsi over Coke because it is a... | |
| In Defense of Audiophiles, Bose, Pass, Toole and Science this is not a science project.As far as sound reproduction it pretty much is science. Science doesn't assist without science the jewelry you're playing that "art" on wouldn't exist. | |
| Directionality Explained Of course they're bozos they don't confirm your biases. | |
| Directionality Explained As the Chef says..We eat with our eyes. We also can hear with our eyes, it's how we're hard wired ...at least according to the professionals so I agree let's leave it to them. | |
| Directionality Explained >>>>Huh? Humans aren’t wired like that at all. Perhaps best to leave the psychological issues to the professionalshttps://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/09/cognitive-bias/565775/https://www.zmescience.com/science/cognitive-b... | |
| In Defense of Audiophiles, Bose, Pass, Toole and Science What other scientific endeavor accepts subjective opinion as evidence and rejects scientifically accepted DBX testing as worthless? | |
| In Defense of Audiophiles, Bose, Pass, Toole and Science Toole advocates direct A/B comparison of speakers. Quickly switching between two or moreWhile he has done tests like that he also has done extensive tests where the listener controls when to switch speakers they just don’t know which speakers they... | |
| In Defense of Audiophiles, Bose, Pass, Toole and Science Using the food analogy, science knows eating to much of certain things are bad for us, what nutrients we need. The problem the scientist is pointing out is one of message or marketing not science. I've read ASR and like all forums I wouldn't pain... | |
| Directionality Explained I guess you could say imagination playing tricks, or our biases confirming what we believe. I have a bias that cables that measure similar sound the same. In a sighted test even if the cables have been altered to obviously sound different I would ... | |
| Directionality Explained Some IC and speaker cables are specifically made to have a sound like a tone control. I would say all IC and speaker cable that measure very close would sound the same. | |
| streaming with benchmark2-dx DAC - problem - no signal to preamp What are you trying to play from the iPad stored music or a stream service like Tidal? You can hear music through headphones but not through the preamp/ amp? | |
| streaming with benchmark2-dx DAC - problem - no signal to preamp Does the Benchmark work with a CD player or something besides the iPad? | |
| WHat did Audiophiles hear during Tape deck era? A lot of scrape flutter and wow, pops and hiss. Mostly listened FM radio instead. | |
| In Defense of Audiophiles, Bose, Pass, Toole and Science If humans can hear it it can be measured. How the brain interprets that sound is the focus of science now. Speakers and room acoustics determine most of what we hear. As long as the reproduction chain is as neutral as possible which can be done no... | |
| Lyngdorf - New System ARC, REW, Dirac are just as good if not better than lyngdorf’s. If you want a Luxman get a miniDSP with Dirac for room correction. |
