Worthwhile reading, if you care anything about audio.

Hey, good link - thanks for that, I hadn't seen it before.

The "in case you missed it" is a 1987 Brad Meyer's
account about a few loopholes that he said should deceive listeners to
falsely differentiate audio components from each other when in fact no
differences were present.
It is now 2005. Where are the published reports of identification of
components when ABXing? Falsely or correctly. NYOB is obviously
searching the old issues of "Stereo Review". He will not find any
there. Neither correct nor false by Brad Meyer's criteria, ABX makes
it all sound the same. Even Brad Meyer's laboriously researched false
clues can not withstand the brain-deafening "test".
When will simple minds grasp that reproduction of complex musical
signals is beyond the reach of their primitive "testing" tools?

Ludovic, I don't know. These idiots have obviously never had an Acoustat
TNT-200 a Hafler XL-600, a Parasound HCA-2200, and an Odyessey in their
hands.

You'd be wrong, but that's typical.

With different circuit topologies, they sound markedly different, yet
none of these amplifiers have ever been labeled as "improperly operating",
or "defective", by anybody.

Sound differnt? IN what DBT did you determine this?

These people, and amphibians, love to play pretend, with their pretentious
put-ons of pseudoscience and authority.

That's so cute, you can't really write words like "scientific fact," so you
pretend nothing is known about the way people hear or the fact that amps
that measure close enough to each other sound identical.

The idiocy was apparently started by
one Arny Krueger, who, righteously indignant at the fakery that infects
the
high end, overreacted by slaughtering the truth in the manner of the
French
Terror. These people spew pure poison, and to anyone who is reading, I
say:


Complete bull**** Robert, and you know it. The ABX methodology, that Arny
developed for audio comparisons was to help find the differences, that he as
a then true beleiver in such things expected to find.

The choices of hifi componentry are not simple. A complex interplay of
amplifier, speakers, and signal source determine the pleasure of end
result.

What horse****. You get an amp that drive your speakers and a good CD
player, fi you value accuracy, and a turntable if you don't, and a pair of
speakers that you like. There's never been any evidence of system synergy
and you know that as well.

Trust your ears and your gut. Be not deceived by appearance, price, or
false
prophets of either simplicity or complexity. And if you see a
mckelviphibian, hit it with your shoe, pick it up with a paper towel, and
flush it down the toilet.

Snore.
