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.


First of all, it's a 1991 article. It's called

"The Amp/Speaker Interface
Are your speakers turning your amplifier into a tone control?"

It describes conditions under which two amps can sound different in
a controlled listening comparison.

The Meyer article you are misremembering is 'Do All Amps Sound the Same?"
from 1987.


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".



Second of all, the link to the PDF was posted on Sound & Vision's
website this month, because the article was referred to in the
September S&V letters column.



He will not find any
there. Neither correct nor false by Brad Meyer's criteria, ABX makes
it all sound the same.



Except when it doesn't:

You were a liar before I killfiled you, and apparently you remain one.
Back into the killfile you go.
