Nothing but level-matched triple blind will do!

 

 

I actually used to know a kid who did do a triple-blind experiment for his PhD.

 

But he was a psychologist...

I suggest doing the mapping with lidar.

 

Also, the Trumpfk $666 dollar bill will give much better results.

I thought the negative comments about mansr's cooking, baking, salt choices etc. were terribly unfair.

 

AFAIK, he lives in England.

 

Freakin' England !!

 

That is a very low bar to food.  In fact, they don't really even eat food (except for colonial imports).

 

And, yes, of course I have proof.  Let us start with the ancient Romans:

 

"Poor Britons, there is some good in them after all -- they produced an oyster."
Saullust, Roman historian, referring to the oyster beds in East Anglia.

[Ralf11]

Then there is a very on point quote about salt:

 

“The British cook, for her iniquities, is a foolish woman who should be turned into a pillar of salt which she never knows how to use.”
Oscar Wilde, 'Dinners and Dishes' (1885)

[Ralf11]

Can we blame the English for the British Empire?  Yes, of course.  and yet...

 

“I'll bet what motivated the British to colonize so much of the world is that they were just looking for a decent meal."
Martha Harrison

 

 

“The British Empire was created as a by-product of generations of desperate Englishmen roaming the world in search of a decent meal.”
Bill Marsano

I'm after all of those things, but I refuse to abandon all reason and logic. What percentage am I in?

 

6 sigma

 

 

 

 

or... did I misspell stigma??

He clearly abandoned percentage calculation along with the rest of reason and logic.

 

Guess what??  Many, many liberal arts majors (even the better ones) cannot "take percentages"!

[Ralf11]

in order to continue in keeping this thread away form the usual automotive analogies, here is some more verification of English cooking:

 

“You cannot trust people who have such bad cuisine. It is the country [Great Britain] with the worst food after Finland.”
French President Jacques Chirac in a remark on the eve of the G8 summit in 2005

See, even a blind test across 3 continents (where all 4 participants--not in any communication with each other--chose the same variant out of 4) does not register for folks like you.  There really is no point in trying to present anything here...

 

Good to hear.  But @jabbr issue is still valid, as is the lack of a statistically valid sample size.

 

But like I said, it's good, and a good start.  (Not that anyone questions the possibility of caps and their quality altering sound).

oh good!  Time for Dentist JOKES!

"You probably ought to remember" 

Now that's not an arrogant statement in any way. Care to elaborate or cite evidence or name some of these audio engineers not in audio?

 

Also, - just because some of these engineers main income source is outside HEA development, - they may in fact still be "in" audio development outside their main gig. Of course, - you are correct that there is no money being made by luxury goods manufacturers, - the 1% are only leeches.

 

did you deliberately mis-quote him??

 

or are you in need of a reading comprehension course?

Anyone who thinks that humans are better at pattern recognition than machines had better go talk to some robots researchers.

The only problem is that it works perfectly when you aren't listening ... ?‍♂️

 

does the correlation information detract from the quantum mechanism at all?

is the bit stream infected with something?

 

jitter?

 

are bits flipped?
