"Richard Clark is an audio professional. Like many audiophiles, he
originally believed the magazines and marketing materials that different
amplifier topologies and components colored the sound in unique, clearly
audible ways. He later did experiments to quantify and qualify these
effects, and was surprised to find them inaudible when volume and other
factors were matched.
"His challenge is an offer of $10,000 of his own money to anyone who
could identify which of two amplifiers was which, by listening only,
under a set of rules that he conceived to make sure they both measure
"good enough" and are set up the same. Reports are that thousands of
people have taken the test, and none has passed the test. Nobody has been
able to show an audible difference between two amps under the test rules.
Redacted, as usual.
You left out the fact that he's charging $200 to the test taker, and has
set the bar sufficiently high that he won't lose his money. He's as cagey
as Ben Stein.

Bob I see a pattern here with Arny's self serving, selectively edited posts.
