The ground rules for this thread were clearly stated. Focus on words like
"level matched", "reliable detection", "time synched" "ABC/hr" and "ABX"
until you can make sense of them, Bob.

The problem with Arny's "science" is that he's pretending to be what he's
not.
This is a general problem. Otherwise, I would speak only to Arny's poorly
posed question.

And indeed, it is poorly posed, to the extent that Weil, myself, and others
immediately detected that the type of recording, commercial or private,
wasn't even specified.

Arny then drags out his motheaten test equipment, and makes a table,
impressive only to imbeciles.
With mediocre cleverness, he tries to associate the table with allegedly
superior listening skills.
Due to his age and pugnacious personality, it is highly doubtful that he can
hear much more than the fundamental of a buzzsaw, which his voice
coincidentally resembles.

Arny reaches some kind of conclusion, which all of us already knew, which is
that cassettes don't sound as good as CD's -- with Weil's observation about
his car the only exception.

What's so pathetic about this non-knowledge is the extent to which Arny has
to go to present himself as a purveyor of audio knowledge.
His next foray will undoubtedly be a comparison of the RCA Victrola to SACD,
full of self-complimenting bull**** about what a fine trained listener he
is.

And with that, I pass the ball to Middius, who may administer the
coup-de-grace with his usual aplomb.
