"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.
You "dunnit agin" Arny!!!!!
But at least you included the link this time. So I invite you to read this
little bit about the rules for the test?
"All signal processing circuitry (e.g. bass boost, filters) must be turned
off, and if the amplifier still exhibits nonlinear frequency response, an
equalizer will be set by Richard Clark and inserted inline with one of the
amps so that they both exhibit identical frequency response. The listener
can choose which amplifier gets the equalizer"
So the rules state "If any two amps have a different frequency response then
one will be made to match the other" Duh!!!! So now the test is knobbled
before it starts! So of course all the amps will sound the same *BECAUSE
THEY HAVE BEEN EQed TO BE THE SAME!" What a great little scam this is.
What a great scientist you really are Arny? Lets do tests that predetermine
the outcome eh?
So tell us all Arny why do you keep quoting articles that "enhance" your POV
and hope nobody actually takes the time to properly read them?
So please correct me if I am wrong here? So far you have said "CDs are as
good as remastered Hi-Rez discs" and I proved you wrong and then "all amps
sound the same" and again I prove wrong and all this with *your* quoted
sources!
You're on a losing streak today Arny! I bet Schopenhauer's 38th rule gets a
work out soon.
