Almost as funny as his "Dr. Mirabilis") I'll say something here about his posting today: He says: "The scores were not *uniformly* worse". My sentence was: "uniformly worse when MUSIC was played" (as compared with pink noise) Granted anputating crucial sense in this fashion allows you to argue still standing up. All in a day's work for our local self-nominated representative of science. Since it seems consistent with his standards of debate he can have it and keep it. He continues: " In fact the scores were almost uniformly *better* whenever 24 guage was used -- and two listeners still scoring better than chance regardless of sound samples used. That is sufficient evidence that the two cables were *different* -- a result that you have claimed, btw, never occurs in audio gear ABX tests" It is hard to believe that a man wants to be taken seriously while attributing such moronisms dug out from the depths of his distorted psyche to others. I "claimed" that you can "never" get a "different result".in ABX!!!!. Just two weeks ago I rereviewed for his benefit the Oakland ABX website that Sullivan quoted at me twice. For the nth time I pointed out that the had positive results but only when comparing badly dissimilar components that a deaf man would have a problem not hearing.. Of course you have positive results when you compare apples with oranges or a 24 g wire with a 16 g wire- using man made noise instead of music. Now kiddies watch Sullivan tie himself up in knots.. Greenhill's states his statistical criteria thus( loc.cit.p.50) "It is generally accepted that the threshold at which a phenomenon can be considered definitely audible is when listeners are aware of it at least 75% of the time" Did you see it? 75&. Two listeners out of 11 just reached that threshold. I pointed out several times before and Sullivan must know (am I overestimating him?) that the moderators of all the other "Stereo Review" and "Audio" ABX component comparions amalgamated the results and came up with nul, negative majority verdict while in my opinion the only interesting panelists were those few who HEARD inspite of the ABX fog. There was quite a discussion about it in RAHE with Marcus the litigation lawyer putting on a positively last appearance in this thread telling me how wrong I was I was severely chastised by the other members and friends of Sullivan's chapel Ovchain, Pierce, JJ etc. (Quotes on request) The positive results were just flukes- majority rules, Mirabel doesn't know what he's talking about. Lo and behold Suddenly our Sullivan prefers the minority verdict. At his convenience- when it suits him he finds "sufficient evidence" in a testimony of two. more gifted listeners. And he has the brass to charge ME with neglecting those who did better than the average........ Watch now. .As it happens TWO ( note;also TWO) listeners also reached this threshold of "hits" when comparing Monster vs. 16 gauge cable (same diameter- remember?:"wire is wire) in pink noise test. They HEARD the difference. Same diameter my ass..... look at this pdf page 3 http://bruce.coppola.name/audio/Greenhill.pdf The monster cable looks to be 12 gauge equivalent. Resistance measurements for a 30 foot run are .09 ohms vs .24 ohms for the 16 gauge. Ludo... you are simply not to be trusted... and thats putting it politely. ScottW |

Resistance measurements for a 30 foot run are .09 ohms vs .24 ohms for the 16 gauge. Ludo... you are simply not to be trusted... and thats putting it politely. ScottW Scottie says in posting Nr.1: "The monster cable looks to be 12 gauge equivalent. Resistance measurements for a 30 foot run are .09 ohms vs .24 ohms for the 16 gauge. Ludo... you are simply not to be trusted... and thats putting it politely." And in Nr.2: Olive said, "In most cases, the differences between the loudspeakers under test are measurable (both objective and subjective)and therefore the more interesting question for me is "Which speaker do they prefer, by how much, and why?" " Now you've gone on and claimed 12 gauge is the same thickness as 16 gauge". Quite Scottie quite- I said that Olive asked :"Which one do you like better". In fact he said "prefer" And you trumpeted that as "Mirabel's lies". You are a card , you are.. Try harder and you'll find more of my lies like this one. Now Scottie found another bone to chew at. "It looks (the Monster) to be 12g" . he said. And I said- 16. Gotcha. In this latst posting it no longer "looks" .Now it IS 12g- I have no intention of downloading a long and boring PDF to find out what the diameter "looks to be". Also I'm not going to the Public Library just to check Scottie's latest. Instead I'll run with Scottie's bone. According to him Greenhill compared a 12 gauge Monster first against a 24 gauge wire, next against 16g. cable. And NOTE: He did not, repeat not, match the levels. So: in ALL of his tests he would get difference in volumes resulting from the difference in diameters. In other words according to Scottie Greenhill was completely out to lunch.. Instead of testing for the perceived difference between supposed superior *quality* of the Monster vs. zip-cord he tested the ability of his panel to detect significant volume differences. He could just as well had used two ordinary wires. Was that his intention little Scottie dear? Just imagine ; then and in all the years since no one noticed this fundamental flaw till Scottie spotted it. And wait: if you're right most of his panel heard no difference between 50' lengths of Monster and not only 24 but 16 g.cable as well See what ABX does to you?. We now have to decide who is the shoot-myself-in-the-foot moron- Greenhill or Scottie? Any bets? Ludovic Mirabel I have a suggestion in all kindness.. In the future pick on adversaries your own minuscule size. |

I have no intention of downloading a long and boring PDF to find out what the diameter "looks to be". Scottie says: It might... might be 14... but it sure as hell is thicker than 16. I answered: I have no intention of downloading a long and boring PDF to find out what the diameter "looks to be". But you have no problem misstating its content. So your original statement that they were same thickness is a based upon what? An article you never read. Ludo, you're an absolute nut. But I think you know that. ScottW Scottie you win. Monster differed from the 16 zipcord. It took me 0.5 an hour with dialup to download Greenhill's text and this is what I found: "There was 0, 16 db (REPEAT 0.16 db) insertion loss difference between the two cables (He's talking about Monster vs. 16 zipcord) or the CORRESPONDING RESPONSE 0,04 (Yes 0,04) db. VARIATION , when they were connected to the KEF 105.2 speakers.. Imjagine, 0,04 db!!!! That old fraud Greenhill!!!. The undercover agent of the subjectivists in an objectivist's clothing loading dice shamelessly in favour of Monster. He never reckoned that a sleuth like you will get on the job and find him out. He deserves to lose his "Stereophile " publisher and to be banned from the Psychiatric Association for dishonouring it. And the good old ABX will get another chance when the new panel listens carefully for 0,04 db. difference. I'll draw an imaginary profile Scottie. Nothing to do with you so you don't need to read it. Little Jimmy in the Kindergarten- shouts: "Miss, Miss Billy said bad things about you" Billy is a favourite, he can read already and plays soccer like a professional. Jimmy at school- firmly in the middle- ambitious beyond his IQ level and verry, very envious of the top boys. Jimmy at Univ. Just manages to get a degree maybe with a year or two delay for repeating failed exams. A joiner but never too popular- in fact in the coffee room people say: "I hope this bore does not come here to harangue us. Billy discovers the internet. At last he can spout to his heart content. Main purpose- lurking in the undergroeth hoping to trip up all those guys giving themselves airs. "Think they are clever, do they?.I'll show..em" Ludovic Mirabel |
