Next time the Hive goes into an aBxism mating-dance frenzy, here's
something for
the 'borgs to chew on: Substituting artificial "tests" for Normal
listening is
unnatural.

Not this tired old bull**** again George, shouldn't you at least try a new
line?

It does not come naturally to human beings.

It's not the usual way people listen, but that's sort of the point. It's
listening with more attention being paid for difference, using quick
swithcing and level matching to give the listener every possible advantage.
It's done for the pupose of revealing things that COULDN'T be heard
otherwise.

It's a metronic crutch
that appeals only to certain mental invalids who are unable to reconcile
sensory
inputs with their disjointed mental processes.


It's a process that appeals to people who want to know if what they preceive
is the same as what the equipment is actually doing. It appeals to people
who want to KNOW.

The repeated, inane demands that Normals "prove" aBxism is not valid is
completely wrongheaded.

Nobody is asking you to prove it wrong, only that there is some other method
AT LEAST as reliable. The fact that you can't and that nobody even tries
says all that needs be said about ABX and its validity. That and the
widespread acceptance and use by those doing audio research.

Human beings make choices of all consumer goods using
the standards they themselves set.

And that's not being debated.

Why are these standards valid?

Because people have free will.

Because the
goods are for *****personal use*****. It's characteristic of the 'borgs to
conflate personal use with actual scientific testing because both spheres
are
alien to Them.

But some of the people buying audio gear are prone to believe things that
are not true and because of bias, to beleive they hear things that aren't
there. That's why they can PERCEIVE difference even when no changes were
made and no devices were switched.



Yes, Mickey, you and Arnii are not real people and you're
certainly not scientists.

The only one not real George, is you. Neither he nor I have ever claimed to
be scientists.


You never worked in a lab or design facility and you
have no grasp of how real R&D is done.

Are we back to the nonsense of wwe can't understand what we have not
actually done again? Lay people are capable of understanding the science
behaind ABX and recognizing that it works and that outside of a few high end
idiots, it's widely used to detect difference, (along with other methods) by
people who design and build all sorts of audio equipment.

And your inability to grasp how Normals
buy and use audio equipment is betrayed by your mindless yammering on
Usenet.

And your violent opposition to people talking about a reliable method for
determining difference, or revealing the lack of it, demonstrates how scared
you are that we find out that you have nothing to base your claims of
enourmous difference on.

No Normal cares about your silly "tests", Mickey.

They probably don't have to if they are using SS equipment, since it's a
matter of fact that virtually all of them have zero audible distortion.


They are meaningless and
pointless exercises in futility. They are self-defeating because they
don't help
anybody.

They help to stifle spurious claims of difference where there are none.

How much common sense does it take to realize that if two components
are nearly indistinguishable sonically, one can make a choice using other
factors? Nobody needs your idiotic "tests" to tell them something so
obvious.


If it's so easy to do, why are rags like SP constantly making claims of
difference where there are none?

It's a shame you're not qualified to work in a setting where real tests
are
used. Then you wouldn't have to take out your wannabe frustrations on
Usenet and
show the entire world how lame you are.


It's a shame that your life is so empty that the only thing that seems to
give you a purpose, is in trying to deny a relaible method for determining
audible differences, and trying to demean people who call you on it.


Nighty-night, Mickey. Time to pull the shades and crawl away into the
darkness.

That's where you've been for the last 10 years or so George, in the
darkness.
