Default New vs Vintage

Another way to put this, I think, is that while Arny
believes that since there is no evidence of peer-reviewed
support for what he calls "audiophile myths", it means
that no evidence HAS or CAN be found supporting those
propositions, while many of the rest of us takes that
lack of evidence to mean simply that serious science
hasn't "tackled" the issue (nor are they likely to do
so).



Various people including ourselves have done DBTs relating to several
audiophile myths, and found that the promised audible benefits become
elusive when tested with any amount of rigor.

You can't find evidence if you don't look for it.


There are people who have done their homework. We've looked for the
evidence, but its exceedingly hard to find. I freely admit that we're the
wrong people to do this, but science isn't so fragile that only advocates
can make something that wants to work, actually workd.


Now, If Arny wishes to fund a peer-reviewed university
study on Audiophile Mythology, I'm sure he could find
someone to step forward and tackle the issue, but I'm
equally sure that aside from that eventuality, funding
from the usual sources is going to be hard to come by.


There you go - we see once again where people who advocate and have spent
the big bucks on audiophile myths want other people to pay money to show
them the error of their ways. It's called $200 for a magic HDMI cable but
never ever spend $20 for a JAES preprint.
