An Armchair Expert like yourself would be MY last choice on who to trust...

It does make sense that people would follow the pseudo-scientists, - their fallacious arguments are powerful to those who are easily bamboozled. I do and I agree that we shouldn't trust pseudo-scientists selling and manufacturing high-end audio equipment.

We shouldn't trust naysaying EEs promoting their ignorance & lack of knowledge surrounding high performance systems. Better rely on evidence, reason, and science. Please provide some examples of evidence, reason, and science related to high performance systems. I haven't seen a lot of it.

Most all of which are engaging in corroborative experimentation and are enjoying the results..... At the core of the Scientific method and investigation is curiosity. Aren't you curious why your "reading gross assumptions on the internet" flies in the face of the 99%? Ralf11 nailed it in the post above. No idea who you are quoting in the last sentence of the last paragraph or what the 99% is.

The audiophile community is DIFFERENT. (the CA community likely doesn't, & shouldn't GAF about consumer gear). The audiophile community places different values on the music listening experience than does the consumer audio industry. First, - there's no such thing as "audio truth." What does that even mean? Second, the CA community talks about higher performing audio equipment, and (via the definition of audiophile), is concerned about enhancing the experience of music recordings. In my experience, folks here are all over the spectrum from COMPUTER audiophile to computer AUDIOPHILE.

kumakuma Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 7 minutes ago, GUTB said: Neurotypical means the ability to communicate using context and cultural cues to allow generalizations to convey meaningful information. Pedantry is not neurotypical, unless used as a rhetorical device. A neurotypical reading of "signal" would be "analogue audio signal over a wire" in this context. An audio signal is a flow of electricity. You’ve probably chosen to be deliberately obtuse over voltage transmission for the purpose of disagreeing with me. This isn't what "neurotypical" means. It is a term used to refer to someone who is not autistic. Hence the following dictionary definitions of the word: Quote not affected with a developmental disorder and especially autism spectrum disorder : exhibiting or characteristic of typical neurological development neurotypical students the neurotypical brain Quote Not displaying or characterized by autistic or other neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behaviour. ‘neurotypical individuals often assume that their experience of the world is either the only one or the only correct one’ jabbr 1 Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby Edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley Through the middle of my skull Link to comment
