Bias
Jenn said:
(1) Bias towards hearing differences among audio components. Usally, audio
gear sounds randomly different because the comparisons usually involve
random influences.
Which random influences are affecting me?
The voices in your head, silly. Doesn't everybody get distracted by
their extra voices?
(3) Bias towards believing what you perceive without making a thorough
investigation of possible causes, including inability in some cases, to
properly do the same.
Practicality dictates that one believes what one perceives. The goal of
audio is to enjoy the music as one perceives it.
If "believing what one perceives" were feasible, Arnii would have no
more need of his Cloak Of Insanity.
(4) Bias towards taking recommendations from other audiophiles, particularly
people you feel some kind of affinity for, at face value and perceiving what
they suggest when listening to items they recommend or disrecommend.
I generally don't do that.
Time for Dr. Not to give you some "social justice". Not a pretty
picture.™
(5) Bias towards thinking that differences you hear when you listen to a
hifi are due to differences in the audio gear you are listening to.
Actually if anything I have a bias toward no difference. I'd rather not
spend the money ;-)
Not possible. All women prefer jewelry to mere tools. It says so in the
Krooble.
