OK, so you can read after all, Scott.

(2) Are there any tests of DVD players at the PCABX web
site? If not, where do you get off mentioning them in
relation to it?

Sorry... thanks for pointing out the PCABX is useless for
the vast
majority of audio equipment sources in use today.

In your delusional fantasies, Scoot.

Then why haven't you provided any in your tests?


Further PCABX training is flawed due to uncontrolled
reproduction variables.

Name those variables and state how they are totally
uncontrolled.

Why don't you tell me how you are controlling the noise
level of my
PC at work. It sucks BTW.

Irrelevant.

I named the variable and this is the best you can do? Perhaps if you
specified approve PCs for playing back the files or insisted people
copied the files to CD for playback on approved audio systems but you
don't do that.
You think people can evaluate audible amplifier differences with a
ghetto blaster?



As comparison... when you made ABX boxes... didn't you
try to make
sure they didn't have an audible influsion on the signal
they
switched?

If you mean did we fix our client's equipment like you want
me to fix yours, the answer is no.

You are stupid. In those cases the clients equipment was under
evaluation... in this case the equipment in question is test
equipment... nothing at all to do with the equipment under evaluation.
You might was well be measuring microohms with a megameter you moron.



Production of "severe listenrs" is not a goal, btw.

As far as who is concerned?

What do you think sever listeners will accomplish?

What's a sever listener, Scott - one who cuts a lot?

Anything to obfuscate you're way out, eh Arny? Typical response when
someone shows your pride and joy isn't what you claim.


Whatever that
is.. is the goal. Production of severe listeners who do
nothing seems
pretty silly to me.

Oh, you meant severe listeners. Severe listeners are very
reliably sensitive to audible differences among audio
products. Can you think of a use for people like that?

Is Harmon international hiring your desciples? If not, then no.

I don't think it is of interest to average audiophiles. In fact, I
agree that subjecting oneself to such training risks diminishing their
ability to sit back, relax, and enjoy the music.


Like selling street racers in a country without roads.

Are you saying that you aren't interested in having the
audible differences between audio products be reliably
detected, Scott?

Listener training is fine for folks who are interested if they
understand the risks.

PCABX for equipment evaluation is as bad an example of snake oil as
any in the audio world today.
