Poor Bug Eater. Adrift in the desert with no insect life
within easy grabbing
distance. His tiny brain is starting to dry up and crack
apart.

The people[sic] endorsing ABX have results to show for their
efforts.
The other side has.....?

sneer

Mickey, you dolt, your "side" has you and Arnii. It doesn't
get any more comical
than that.


Not true at all. Your side has you, more sad than funny I
suppose, but not without humor, since your sides argument is
essentially, "we don't got to show you no stinking science."


you still haven't figure out that it's
NOT about science.
Oh, but I have, it's about denial of science.

It's not about science, neither accepted nor denied.
its just not about science.
its about enjoying the playback of music.
Its about enjoyment.


The 2 are not mutually exclusive.

But one need not engage in any scientific inquiry
to find a satisfying system.
No, only if they want to make sure they are getting what they think
they are hearing.


So, you say they should abx equipment to ensure that they
DON'T get the one they 'think' sounds best, everything
else being equal, or even if that
satisfaction costs them a little extra money.
I don't agree with that at all.

Not to mention that YOU don't practice the prescribed rituals,
yourself.
I have no need, I know what I'm getting.

You ASSUME you know what you are getting.

Oooooh so close, but no.
I get good information from which to make a good decision from.
Given that there are so few differences anyway, I'm looking for build
quality and features, since it's almost a given, that it will sound
right. I'm not getting tubes after all.

I'd already been introduced to the perils of sighted listening before I
ever heard of ABX for audio.


Why don't you go beyond just having heard of it?

Been there done that.

Like use it for making decisions.


What for? I know what I want and how to get it. I pay for the best
perfromance there is, not the what it looks like, but what it does.

DBT's of other subjects are no substitute for
having done it yourself.


I have done it myself. Now I know better.
