Arny,
Taken by itself, this ludicrous mod supports your position regarding
sighted testing of equipment. However, you use notions such as these to
discourage the individual who, lacking any outside resources, wishes to
conduct sighted tests to choose components for personal use, or wishes to
communicate observations based on sighted testing to other individuals.

The valid middle ground is difficult for ideologues like "dhtrob", or
you, to comprehend. It is certainly true that sighted testing can, and does
in some instances lead to perception of differences when there are none. It
is also true that many listeners can, as a practical matter, discern
differences that are important to them. If the cost of exterminating
imaginary perceptions is to make unavailable a large body of informal,
anecdotal comparative knowledge, then the cure is not worth the treatment.

As most of us are aware of your unquenchable drive to exterminate the
sighted personal experience, and don't like it, we suggest you turn your
attention to testing toaster ovens. There is little information on the
thermodynamic efficiency of these appliances, and countless megawatts of
electricity are wasted each year by users who based their buy on sighted
comparisons of the chrome plating. Should you apply your gifts to this
neglected subject, it would be a great boon to mankind.

A fertile area for empirical research. And one that might even lend itself to
double blind tests re. the toast, muffins, and various frozen foods processed
behind those masking curtains. Of course, elapsed time from test inception to
tasting time might have to be equalized to prevent that nasty bugaboo of all
subjective testing, expectation effects, from rearing its ugly head.

And if this research yields significant intramodel or intrabrand differences, I
would like to suggest another research area no doubt perfect for his unique
investigatory skills - toilets. Such variables as flushing efficiency,
comfort, $ 1000 bill wiping effects, and no doubt other variables known only to
him, are sorely in need of scientific investiagation.

In Arny Krueger's religion, a "volt" is the unit of personal power. It is
the desire of all adherents to acquire as many volts as possible, by
shocking the public with revelations of "truth."
"Truth", according to Arny Krueger's religion, consists of a single tenet:
that Arny Krueger is the sole and exclusive purveyor of "truthful"
information. Unfortunately, Krueger's religion is self referential, failing
to escape Godel's Incompleteness Theorem. Krueger's definition of "truth" is
completely circular, as it is defined in terms of itself.

The statement above is just another example of how Krueger tries to
misrepresent what others have actually said through distortion of facts. The
use of the phrase "most of us'" by Mr. Morein clearly refers to the audience of
RAO readers, not as Krueger tries to invent the "majority of audophilia",
whatever that nebulous phrase of his idiosyncratic imagination might or might
not mean. For Krueger to assume that Mr. Morein was referring to any audiencx
larger than that reading this NG, is of course just another example of "bad
science".

Speaking of nonsense, Krueger, as his custom, treis to spread more lies about
post content by insulting everybody's intelligence. It is absurdly easy to
point out that Krueger, trying to lie with statistics as his custom, specifies
no time range over which his soi-called "average" was taken. And of course, he
also fails to have the intellectual honesty to engage in full disclosure, which
would reveal major portions o time - months, if not years, in which this was
never mentioned. He also fails to indicate the number of timies he has
committed slander by claiming those credentials are questionable or
nonexistent. He does so again in this post by use of the adjective,
"alleged"..

As has been pointed out many times in the past in reswponse to Krueger's
numerous slanderous comments re. my background, there is nothing alleged about
them, as others on RAO have very easily verified in the past.

Like you Morein, AFAIK Richman has offered no evidence on RAO that

suggests
knowledge of the difference between an ohm and a volt.


Which is,l of course, irrelevant re. knowledge or llack of knowledge about
various audio phenomena. In point of fact, his statement re. knowiing the
difference between a volt and an ohm, as different units of electircal
measurment, is absord.
Knowledge of that difference has nothing to do, of course, with training or
background in electrical engineering. For that matter the use of sound
scientific methodology concerning comparative evaluation of 2 or more products
in the same research experiment has little, if anything to do with electrical
engineering per se. It has to do with experimental design, knowledge of
statical analysis methods, and of course, the honesty to use them in an ethical
way. Whether talking about his hallowed ABX protocols or his deceptive attempt
to use statistics here, many of found him to be severely lacking.

Actually, most psychologist know a lot about resistance. It is one of the
central concepts in psychodynamic personality theory and
psychodynamically-oriented therapy. We also know how to measure it, whether by
analysis of an MMPI protocol, for example (which has an empirically derived
scale designed specifically to measure this variable), or by carefuly
evaluation of therapist/patient interactinos.

In Arny Krueger's religion, a "volt" is the unit of personal power. It is
the desire of all adherents to acquire as many volts as possible, by

completely circular, as it is defined in terms of itself.



Psychologist also know a lot about power and the delusional perceptions of
same, which are frequently fround in a condition known as Narcissiistic
Personality Disorder aw well as comingled with paranoia in many cases in which
the person with a rigid character structure (or in layman's terms - a highly
fixed, long-term, pervasive set of personality characteristics - or habitual
behavior) exhibits frequent evidence of self-perceived omniscience and/or
entitlement.

Between the grotesque typos and the abject ignorance, this has to be one of

Point of order here - since Richman and Morein by their own admission, don't

Let me put it this way - think about all the audio products that are
officially characterized in terms of ohms and volts. Every speaker, every
power amplifier, every thing that operates on electrical power, every active
and passive signal processor... the list is seemingly endless.

Consider how nonsensical those characterizations are if you don't know the
difference between an ohm and a volt!

Consider how meaningful those characterizations are to persons who do know
the difference between an ohm and a volt.

Now compare and contrast the highly limited potential audio knowledge of
Morein and Richman who admit they don't know the difference between an ohm
and a volt, with the vast potential for audio knowledge by persons who do
know the difference between an ohm and a volt.

This critical admission also makes at least one of Morein's former claims
into a lie.

AFAIK this is difficult or impossible to do without knowing the difference
between an ohm and a volt.

knowing the difference between a volt and an ohm, as different units
of electrical measurement, is absurd.


Since you admit that don't know what that difference between an ohm and a
volt is Richman, how can you claim to judge? This is typical of the
arrogance and ignorance of Morein and Richman - they pretend to be qualified
to judge that for which they lack the basic knowledge required to judge.
They are like wannabe automotive engineers who don't know the difference
between a foot and a pound. Or like chemists who don't know the difference
between a gram and a mole. Or like a cook in the US who does not know the
difference between a teaspoon and a degree. Or like a banker who does not
know the difference between a percentage point and a dollar. The list is
endless.

Knowledge of that difference has nothing to do, of course, with
training or background in electrical engineering.


The sort of nonsense one hears from a person who never took electrical
engineering course number one - which is BTW perfectly normal for persons
with degrees in the liberal arts, especially psychology.

Knowledge of the difference between ohms and volts is taught by freshman and
physics classes, and required knowledge prior to entry of many courses that
are at the core of any electrical engineering program.

For example, per
http://www.eecs.mit.edu/ug/brief-guide.html the
departmental requirements for a BSEE program include the following courses:

6.002 Circuits and Electronics
6.003 Signals and Systems

You can read what these courses entail at
http://student.mit.edu/catalog/m6a.html

Basically, they require knowledge of the difference between ohms and volts.

For that matter
the use of sound scientific methodology concerning comparative
evaluation of 2 or more products in the same research experiment has
little, if anything to do with electrical engineering per se.


I'm sure that this claim will have any number of actual electrical engineers
rolling in the aisles. Since audio equipment is evaluated within the context
of its specifications, and those specifications are given in terms of ohm,
volts and a few other common engineering units of measure, it is impossible
to properly evaluate audio gear without knowledge of the difference between
ohms and volts.

It has to do with experimental design, knowledge of statistical analysis
methods, and of course, the honesty to use them in an ethical way.


It also has to do with operating the equipment within its specified
parameters which are given in terms of ohm volts and a very few other common
engineering measures.

Whether talking about his hallowed ABX protocols or his deceptive
attempt to use statistics here, many of found him to be severely
lacking.


Given that this many includes people like Morein and Richman, who have now
admitted that they don't know the difference between ohms and volts, it is
obviously an irrelevant criteria.

They are like wannabe automotive engineers who don't know the difference
between a foot and a pound. Or like chemists who don't know the difference
between a gram and a mole. Or like a cook in the US who does not know the

Or an Arny Krueger who does not know the difference between a truth and a
lie?

Knowledge of that difference has nothing to do, of course, with
training or background in electrical engineering.


Of course not.

The sort of nonsense one hears from a person who never took electrical
engineering course number one - which is BTW perfectly normal for persons
with degrees in the liberal arts, especially psychology.

Knowledge of the difference between ohms and volts is taught by freshman

and
physics classes, and required knowledge prior to entry of many courses

that
are at the core of any electrical engineering program.

For example, per
http://www.eecs.mit.edu/ug/brief-guide.html the
departmental requirements for a BSEE program include the following

courses:

6.002 Circuits and Electronics
6.003 Signals and Systems

And where did you go to school, Arny?


You can read what these courses entail at
http://student.mit.edu/catalog/m6a.html

Basically, they require knowledge of the difference between ohms and

volts.



For that matter
the use of sound scientific methodology concerning comparative
evaluation of 2 or more products in the same research experiment has
little, if anything to do with electrical engineering per se.


I'm sure that this claim will have any number of actual electrical

engineers
rolling in the aisles.


I don't think so.

Since audio equipment is evaluated within the context
of its specifications, and those specifications are given in terms of ohm,
volts and a few other common engineering units of measure, it is

impossible
to properly evaluate audio gear without knowledge of the difference

between
ohms and volts.


Since in the above statement, you have appropriated the word "properly", you
can ascribe whatever criteria you want to it. But that doesn't make it true.
The purpose of home audio equipment is to induce pleasure in the listener.
The terms "ohm" and "volt" have vague connection to that, as evidenced by
the many kinds of equipment with inferior specifications that many listeners
claim provide greater pleasure.


It has to do with experimental design, knowledge of statistical

analysis
methods, and of course, the honesty to use them in an ethical way.


None of which you adhere to.

It also has to do with operating the equipment within its specified
parameters which are given in terms of ohm volts and a very few other

common
engineering measures.

No, it doesn't. It has to do with operating the equipment in a way that
pleases the listener.


Whether talking about his hallowed ABX protocols or his deceptive
attempt to use statistics here, many of found him to be severely
lacking.


Given that this many includes people like Morein and Richman, who have now
admitted that they don't know the difference between ohms and volts, it is
obviously an irrelevant criteria.

No admission is made. Your constant repetition of this falsehood detracts
from your argument. You would be more credible if you would stick with what
your detractors actually say.

Arny, you are a ***BAD SCIENTIST***

As is his custom, Krueger persists in spewing ludicrous fabrications. He
completely fails to demonstrate any knowledge of statistical analysis. He
totally avoids the verifiable fact that he has no knowledge whatsoever re. the
audio backgrounds of eithe Mr. Morein or myself, and can only engage in babble
about "electrical engineering" while failing to address his woeful lack of
competence in the design or implementation of sound experimental design when
running his "tests". And of course, he fails to address the fact that over a 7
year period he has repeated slandered me by lying about my academic,
experiential and professional credentials.

And as for "audio knowledge", Krueger fails to justify his lengthy history of
attacks upon noted audio professionals such as Glen Zelniker, Paul Bambourough,
John Atkinson, and at times, even Jim Johnston - all of whom, have, in one form
or another, registererd their discust, scorn and ridicule when confronted with
Krueger's agenda-drriven lies and deceptions.

Definition of "tacit":

It is clear that neither Dr. Richman nor I have given out consent, as
required by the above definition.
Simply another symptom of ***BAD SCIENCE*** from Arny Krueger's early onset

Agreed. In point of fact, such nonsensical statements from Krueger provide
more evidence that he is delusional, i.e. suffering from a fixed belief system
that is unsupported by factual evidence.

Once again, no admission on our part that we do not know the meaning of the
above terms.
Why do you insist on applying an interpretation of the words of others which
does not conform to the intended meaning?


I suspect that Krueger, given his woeful lack of insight into either the
character of knowledge of others, is simply engaging in another pitiful attempt
to fool the RAO public. What is so hilarious about this is the obviousl fact
that it does not take a degree in any physical science to know the difference
between a volt and an ohm.
More to the point, Krueger simply demonstrates that he has neither the
motivation nor the intelligence (let alone the integrity) to actually determine
in any way the validity of his ludicrous, false claim about knowledge of ohms
or volts.

So, given his obvious inability to (a) make truthful statements, or (b)
evaluate the validity of the fabrications he creates, why should anybody blieve
this compulsive liar and fraud?

LOL!

the funniest posts I've ever seen on RAO. It is also a tacit admission

that
I'm right - neither Richman nor Morein know the difference between
an ohm and a volt.


Definition of "tacit":


Definition: [adj] indicated by necessary connotation
though not expressed directly; "gave silent consent"; "a tacit
agreement"; "the understood provisos of a custody agreement"


It is clear that neither Dr. Richman nor I have given out consent, as
required by the above definition.


The definition above does not absolutely require explicit consent on your
parts. Indeed, the use of the word by me indicates that no verbal consent
has been given, nor is one expected.

Of course not. In your warped, twisted version of reality, you exact
"admissions" from people without their agreement, understanding, or consent.
You can and do say that I "admitted" that white is black, according to this
preposterous, deceptive, lying, scandalous abuse of the English language.

But the whole point is to neutralize you, just as I did with McCarty. Today
he is a laughingstock. We'll just keep at it until you are equivalently
marginalized.

There are only a few RAO posters who don't know the truth about
Mr. ****. You probably know who they are -- duh-Mikey, torrie****s,
The Big ****, and maybe one or two others. It's also easy to see
that those individuals are also ****ed in the head, which is
probably why they support Krooger.

So in reality, you're reading and ridiculing Turdy's posts for your
own satisfaction. I've been there and done that, although not on a
regular basis for a long time.

Like you Morein, AFAIK Richman has offered no evidence on RAO
that suggests knowledge of the difference between an ohm and a
volt.

Which is,l of course, irrelevant re. knowledge or lack of knowledge
about various audio phenomena.

Agreed. This type of extremely transparent lying, in which Krueger tries to
invent what people have actually said (as opposed to what really happened) is
one of may reasons that he has been repeatedly identified as RAO's most widely
despised and hated posters of all time. His anti-subjective-opinion views have
nothing to do with it. His basic dishonesty, which is quite pervasive, is the
main reason that practically nobody has any respect for him on RAO.


But the whole point is to neutralize you, just as I did with McCarty. Today

I'd say about 99% of RAO already has seen through his years of lying, charades,
slanderous attackis on many individual posters, and self-serving paranoid
propaganda. And for the one person who blindly parrots and defends his every
utterance, who cares?

Arny, you already are a laughingstock. Unfortunately, you are totally
oblivious of the fact.
You have just conducted a summary trial on the ability of Dr. Richman and I
to distinguish the terms "ohm" and "volt". You imagine that we have
"tacitly" admitted something, aided in your delusional thinking by a
definition made up for the occasion.
What Dr. Richman says about you is true. You are a nutcase.
You weren't always a nutcase. But you have become one. The primary symptom
is your constant association with individuals who dislike you. It's a fact
you can't accept. But you can't change history. You've alienated almost
everyone, in the service of a belief that is very important to you, but
both false and trite at the same time to everyone else.
You've wasted your life on a triviality, advertised by a trash website,
advertising ***BAD SCIENCE***.
And this is only in character, since you are a ***BAD SCIENTIST***.

Of course it is irrelevant. Krueger is simply illustrating his
typical use of delusional logic, in which he erroneously infers that
because somebody doesn't comment about a specific topic, such as the
difference between an ohm nad a volt, that they are ignorant. Krueger
employs the same unscientific thinking when he draws the conclusion
that because a poster doeesn't specifically condemn a post of JBorg's,
then they aprove of its content. Needless to say, such
interpretations of "non-reesults' would not ever find there way into
any self-respecting peer-reviewed journal. But then again, Krueger
apparently ha no understanding of scientific methodology commonly used
in the various sciences.



Between the grotesque typos and the abject ignorance, this has to be one of
the funniest posts I've ever seen on RAO. It is also a tacit admission that
I'm right - neither Richman nor Morein know the difference between an ohm
and a volt.

Point of order here - since Richman and Morein by their own admission, don't
know the difference between an ohm and a volt, how can either sensibly
comment on the importance and relevance of this knowledge?

Let me put it this way - think about all the audio products that are
officially characterized in terms of ohms and volts. Every speaker, every
power amplifier, every thing that operates on electrical power, every active
and passive signal processor... the list is seemingly endless.

Consider how nonsensical those characterizations are if you don't know the
difference between an ohm and a volt!

Consider how meaningful those characterizations are to persons who do know
the difference between an ohm and a volt.

Now compare and contrast the highly limited potential audio knowledge of
Morein and Richman who admit they don't know the difference between an ohm
and a volt, with the vast potential for audio knowledge by persons who do
know the difference between an ohm and a volt.

This critical admission also makes at least one of Morein's former claims
into a lie.

From: "Robert Morein"
Message-ID:


"I've passed the prelim in both theoretical physics and electrical
engineering,"

AFAIK this is difficult or impossible to do without knowing the difference
between an ohm and a volt.

knowing the difference between a volt and an ohm, as different units
of electrical measurement, is absurd.


Since you admit that don't know what that difference between an ohm and a
volt is Richman, how can you claim to judge? This is typical of the
arrogance and ignorance of Morein and Richman - they pretend to be qualified
to judge that for which they lack the basic knowledge required to judge.
They are like wannabe automotive engineers who don't know the difference
between a foot and a pound. Or like chemists who don't know the difference
between a gram and a mole. Or like a cook in the US who does not know the
difference between a teaspoon and a degree. Or like a banker who does not
know the difference between a percentage point and a dollar. The list is
endless.

Knowledge of that difference has nothing to do, of course, with
training or background in electrical engineering.


The sort of nonsense one hears from a person who never took electrical
engineering course number one - which is BTW perfectly normal for persons
with degrees in the liberal arts, especially psychology.


This is of course another example of Krueger's ignorance and prejudice
re. the field of psychology - which is generally considered to be a
social science, and whose practitioners frequently engage in empirical
research that meets the same rigorous standards concerning methdology
as other "liberal arts" like biology, chemistry, physics, etc. - all
of which are taught in most liberal arts colleges. So once again,
Krueger is trying to deceive the public by smearing a professional.
The Google record clearly evidences (e.g. in May, 2003) that this is
not the first time that Krueger has engaged in this sort of defamation
of another field of scientific inquiry. And of course, since it is
one that can be and has been used to evaluate the irrationality of his
posts, he is, understandably, trying to smear it.





Knowledge of the difference between ohms and volts is taught by freshman and
physics classes, and required knowledge prior to entry of many courses that
are at the core of any electrical engineering program.

For example, per
http://www.eecs.mit.edu/ug/brief-guide.html the
departmental requirements for a BSEE program include the following courses:

6.002 Circuits and Electronics
6.003 Signals and Systems

You can read what these courses entail at
http://student.mit.edu/catalog/m6a.html

Basically, they require knowledge of the difference between ohms and volts.

For that matter
the use of sound scientific methodology concerning comparative
evaluation of 2 or more products in the same research experiment has
little, if anything to do with electrical engineering per se.


I'm sure that this claim will have any number of actual electrical engineers
rolling in the aisles. Since audio equipment is evaluated within the context
of its specifications, and those specifications are given in terms of ohm,
volts and a few other common engineering units of measure, it is impossible
to properly evaluate audio gear without knowledge of the difference between
ohms and volts.

It has to do with experimental design, knowledge of statistical analysis
methods, and of course, the honesty to use them in an ethical way.


It also has to do with operating the equipment within its specified
parameters which are given in terms of ohm volts and a very few other common
engineering measures.

Whether talking about his hallowed ABX protocols or his deceptive
attempt to use statistics here, many of found him to be severely
lacking.


Given that this many includes people like Morein and Richman, who have now
admitted that they don't know the difference between ohms and volts, it is
obviously an irrelevant criteria.


The very transparent fact that Krueger has repeated the same risable
lie so repetitively in the same post is further evidence of his
ignorance. It also illustrates how delusional liars try and
distribute propaganda through repetition of the same lies over and
over again.

Arny, there is only one world.
What you, in your primitive english, are enquiring, is whether your

relationships. While people do make some allowance for what some call the
special character of these discussion forums, neither do they discount the
behavior seen here entirely. It all depends upon the degree and frequency
that you, or anybody else, exhibits antisocial qualities.
We are separated from what you call the "real world" by a mild screen

To get back to the point:

I don't see how going to all of that effort to mod a capacitor in that way

I would not recommend someone do this to a piece of audio equipment they
