Don't tell me who is a supporter of what.

Right, why confuse Mirabel with mere facts?

Just give a reference to ONE SINGLE audio component
comparison by S. Olive using ABX.

This is Mirabel's idea of proof of non-existence of
DBTs: Absence of a peer-reviewed paper saying that some
certain person did an ABX test of specific pieces of
audio gear.

What a bogus criteria!

I've already explained to Mirabel that scientific papers
as a rule don't involve actual commercial products, and
when they do, the make and model information is often
concealed. What Mirabel does not seem to get is the idea
that scientific papers are about science, they not
usually about consumer product testing.

Mirabel also ignores the fact that Sean Olive is
primarily a developer of speakers, not electronic
components. Speakers generally pass ABX tests. Frankly
testing speakers is not a strength of ABX testing.

And this is another one of Mirabel's deceptions - he
lumps all bias-controlled tests under the name "ABX".
Olive is well-known for doing bias-controlled listening
tests, but he generally uses testing procedures that are
more suited to his area of interest - not ABX.

For that matter give a reference to ANY component
comparisons by ANYBODY that appeared in an *audio
professional Jornal*.

Asked and answered. Mirabel seems to think that audio
professional journals are supposed to compete with
Stereophile or Sound and Vision.

This request has been repeated again and again for the
last five years. So far no takers. Be the first.

Asked and answered, many times.

Trying to match your selfimportant, pompous style Krueger
I "explained to you many times" that RAO is not an audio
research populariser but a voice of lay audio consumers.

So then why do you keep bringing up audio research here, Mirabel?

BTW Mirabel, take all the time you need to answer the question given that
you've answered zero of the points I brought up, above.


I also "explained to you many times" Krueger that an
engineer is welcome to give such measurements as he's
capable of doing at this point in time and then;
if he wants to be listened to as a critic he takes off
his hat and talks like another listener. His engineering
school credentials make his opinions no more valid than
those of a carpenter about the aesthetic effect of the
Louis the XVith chair on the buyer.

You've done no such thing, Mirabel. In fact google searching shows zero
instances of you mentioning "school credentials" before this.

Till you get this
into your head you'll continue to be mocked for a
self-promoting, self-inflated product of an engineering
school with pretences above his station.

Keep on talking Mirabel, you've just proven yourself to be a coward and liar
in that order.

LOL!
