That indefatiguable lost babe in the woods NYOB fished out another

Find it he http://www.hfm-detmold.de/eti/projek...sdvspcm/aes_pa... " It is an ABX comparison of SACD vs. DVD-A originally presented as a Master's thesis at a German University. You guessed it: they found no difference. Next question: who are "some" who "will not be happy about" this. Would it be their examiners objecting to the use of the never validated by basic research, never positive, ABX protocol as a proven. decisive litmus paper test ? Could "some" of them say that acceptance of an unvalidated protocol as a given without discussion puts their results in question. Or would it be Prof, S.P. Lip****z of Waterloo Univ., the heavy authority of audio research, who stood up for DVD-A (LPCM) and declared once that acceptance of SACD (!-bit sigma delta) would be "a tragedy".? * This raises a fascinating problem: Prof. Lip****z *and* his coauthor Vanderkooy *and* R. Stuart of Meridian hear the difference between SACD and DVD-A but NYOB's sources do not. Are Lip****z, Vanderkooy and Stuart misguided, closet subjectivists or ignoramuses who await RAO scientists to tell them all about ABX? Or were the two Master degree candidates led astray by the ABX protocol they used that makes it all sound the same? Only NYOB knows. Ludovic Mirabel *He said at JAES convention in Amsterdam , 2001: "The audio industry is misguided if it adopts 1-bit sigma-delta conversion as the basis for any high-quality processing, archiving, or distribution format to replace multi-bit, linear PCM." |

Thank you, Ludovic. We can rely on Mikey to rise to the heights of idiocy in his reply. |

As happens in real life (not in the NYOB chapel), they all listen and hear differently. Some trained experts hear differences even when ABXing- I doubt if you ever will. Just don't tell people that you got the right answer and they are all deluded. I can just imagine what you listen to and through what equipment- you ain't no authority on how to listen to music (nor on the kind of music to listen to nor I'll bet on what to read, what paintings to look at, what countries to visit and even what wine to drink).Also you're no authority on whom to pick up an argument with. Regards Ludovic Mirabel BTW calling a reference a source is conventional anywhere past grade 6. |

And how can his ABX article of faith and sure cure for uncertainty delude one of the two ABXing camps? Which camp is he in? What is the point he wants to make quoting this? Does he know? This is why it's obvious that Mikey has a weak mind. Mikey simply isn't aware of many things, such as the quality of his mind, the quality of his perceptions, or more generally, his own limitations. You have presented a conundrum that is too complex for Mikey to comprehend. Like other small brained creatures, his worldview is circumcised. Would you ask a frog for an opinion about audio? Of course not, yet the frog functions quite well as a frog, eating bugs, copulating, and even making frog "music." Like other lower creatures, Mikey has a limited repertoire of vocalizations, and a tendency for imitative behavior. We can expect a reply of the form "Thank you for admitting...", when no such admission has been made, or "No, since that is a fantasy of yours", or "See above comments regarding your rich fantasy life", etc. Mikey copies Arny Krueger's walk and talk. I am sure it is an embarassment to Arny, since, whatever else he may be, he is an independently thinking person. Mikey, it is time for you to realize that you are a limited person. You are a mouthpiece, not a mind. If Arny Krueger used sockpuppets, they would have much more depth than you, a real person. |

BTW here we have an academic paper based on the often-dissed ABX test. Could "some" of them say that acceptance of an unvalidated protocol as a given without discussion puts their results in question. Who besides a number of disgruntled Golden Ears diss the ABX test for the purpose of determining whether small, subtle differences exist? Or would it be Prof, S.P. Lip****z of Waterloo Univ., the heavy authority of audio research, who stood up for DVD-A (LPCM) and declared once that acceptance of SACD (!-bit sigma delta) would be "a tragedy".? * SACD was and is an economic tragedy for its commercial supporters. This raises a fascinating problem: Prof. Lip****z *and* his coauthor Vanderkooy *and* R. Stuart of Meridian hear the difference between SACD and DVD-A but NYOB's sources do not. No way! I asked Lip****z and Vanderkooy about this the last time I had a face-to-face meeting with them. Their papers are about technical differences, not real-world audible differnces. Are Lip****z, Vanderkooy and Stuart misguided, closet subjectivists or ignoramuses who await RAO scientists to tell them all about ABX? Nahh, this is about Mirabel misrepresenting facts, which is can be counted on to do. Or were the two Master degree candidates led astray by the ABX protocol they used that makes it all sound the same? Ironically, the paper being discussed here found some listeners who heard differences a statistically significant number of times. Only NYOB knows. Ludovic Mirabel *He said at JAES convention in Amsterdam , 2001: "The audio industry is misguided if it adopts 1-bit sigma-delta conversion as the basis for any high-quality processing, archiving, or distribution format to replace multi-bit, linear PCM." History has supported this conclusion. SACD is yet another dead format. It's the 21st century Elcassette. |

Proving that Mirabel never read page 8 of the paper he cites: Perceptual Discrimination of Digital Coding Formats http://www.hfm-detmold.de/eti/projek...paper_6086.pdf A much greater authority Prof.Lip****z and others in his camp claim that the difference is enormous. Yet another false claim based on what? |

(nor on the kind of music to listen to I listen to a wide range of music, from the Beatles to Bach, to Glen Miller, to MJQ, to Bella Fleck and probably other stuff you've never heard of. Not that any of that matters since it's all about personal preference, right? nor I'll bet on what to read, what paintings to look at, what countries to visit and even what wine to drink).Also you're no authority on whom to pick up an argument with.

Watching you disemble is sometimes very funny, and sometimes very sad. Regards Ludovic Mirabel BTW calling a reference a source is conventional anywhere past grade 6. Tryning to infer that Lip****z and Vanderkooy said that there is audible superiority of SACD over CD is so much more sophisticated right? Picking on the phrasing over the data is the kind of bull**** that people like you love to do when you know you have no facts to back you up and you know you've lost the argument. |

What you actually mean is electronics, Arnie. I've been in "audio" since about 1965 and followed its progress keenly, whilst taking virtually no interest in electronics . Of course if you go back to 1956 there probably wasn't much difference, but audio is now a wholly consumer product with nary a soldering iron in sight. It's been that way for some time.

Your "know nothing" approach to the ATRAC issue is not
exactly complementary to you. One of the problems with a spellchecker is that it will accept any word that's in its dictionary as being spelled correctly. Thus, desert and dessert are both acceptable to the spellchecker, as are discrete and discreet. Then there's complimentary and complementary, both good words, but entirely different in meaning.

Should I be offended or proud? :-) Instead of being so defensive Defensive? I thought I was being flippant. That too. first try begging, borrowing, or stealing a clue about audio, Paul. What you actually mean is electronics, Arnie. I've been in "audio" since about 1965 and followed its progress keenly, whilst taking virtually no interest in electronics . Half right. In fact Paul you have almost no interest in audio as demonstrated by the vast amount of urban legend you accept as being truth. If you were really interested in audio you'd understand it better. Of course if you go back to 1956 there probably wasn't much difference, but audio is now a wholly consumer product with nary a soldering iron in sight. It's been that way for some time. Paul, part of your problem is that you only have a passing awareness of consumer audio, which is only a part of audio pie. Your "know nothing" approach to the ATRAC issue is not exactly complimentary to you. If you check back on that thread, Arnie, you'll see that I was not advancing theories of my own but repeating what I had read. What was it that I was saying about you accepting urban legend as if it was truth? If I "know nothing" about the subject of ATRAC, it appears I have plenty of company. Ignorance is pretty rampant amount audiophiles, true. But then of course I forgot, your mission is to enlighten the world. ....such as it can be enlightened. Much of the world, particularly the audiophool world, is highly resistant to the light. Imagine Paul jumping up and wagging his tail every time I say audiophool |

Thanks for admitting you're the source of the light, Arnie. I suspected you had delusions of omniscience, but didn't really expect you to admit it. Well, that's game, set and match. |
