| Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? Pass purposely creates a sound with his amps, take an amp that measures the same, I doubt in blind testing it would be identifiable. | |
| Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? Speakers aren't amplifiers we were discussing amplifiers. I agree trained listeners would have a better chance identifying speakers. | |
| Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? I didn't avoid anything. Your 100 trained people would fare no better than the trained people in 10 years of ABX testing. Are you a politician that avoids the obvious? | |
| Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? AES E-LIBRARYTen years of A/B/X TestingExperience from many years of double-blind listening tests of audio equipment is summarized. The results are generally consistent with threshold estimates from psychoacoustic literature, that is, listeners of... | |
| Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? It's because the amps measurements are close enough that any differences the human ear can't differentiate over the distortion of speakers. Correct I am unable to tell them apart because of the limits of human hearing. Dolphins or bats possibly co... | |
| Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? It's because listening blind I've controlled for my bias. Amps that measure fairly close it's almost impossible to tell them apart. One could even be a tube amp as long as it's measurements are close to the SS amp. One reason is speaker distortion... | |
| Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? Because you cannot ascertain by looking at a spreadsheet which of two amplifiers you will prefer. The only way to know what anything sounds like is to listen to it....”I can get close enough with measurements that if I take 2 amps with specs prett... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? It makes sense when you're playing the recording as well. Probably why I like Genelec but I do add a house curve which is where IMO preference is introduced. | |
| Technics SB-R1 Reference Speakers Are you talking about these speakers? https://hifiheaven.net/shop/Technics-SBR1-Speaker-System | |
| Make way for the future.... see a future where each driver has integral amplifier specifically designed to work as one in complete harmony with driver physics. DSP crossover and DACs receivingThis already exists, it's in the speakers I use. There are some wireless using WISA... | |
| Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? Observation does not need proof, nor is there any obligation on the observer to expend effort to provide you with an explanation, sensible or otherwise. That's true noone owes me anything. Testing is useful to prevent smoke and fire, as well as to... | |
| Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? I don't reject all claims without scientific proof, only ridiculous claims where not even a bare minimum of effort was extended to see if it made sense. Measurements and testing are vital to building good audio gear but so is listening they go ha... | |
| Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? I have no idols, computers or calves. | |
| Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? I didn't simply claim it was nonsense I showed the flaw in the author's thinking. My posts are nothing more than proof some aren't lost in a subjectivist maze. I don't meet the requirements for "scientism" if anything I would be considered a reduc... | |
| Make way for the future.... I went the other direction, active speakers with a streamer as a source. Very minimalist. Not sure what history has shown but I agree these types of systems are the future. |
