Love listening to good music, also curious about tweaks. Lots of us can be described that way. (Was your interest in ClearFog and espressobin purely musical, or also for the fun of the education?) So not a very clear distinction. (Surely part of your point that any attempt to divide us into opposed camps is wrongheaded from the get-go.)

That's not what I consider helpful. Even if those items do make a difference, surely you agree they should not be the top priority. All you can do is all you can do - be as helpful as possible, and the recipient will believe who they're gonna believe. Try to concentrate on the help rather than the argument.

The "hole" you were so desperate to get back into, you used deception to do it.

As in, it can be questioned, it can be reproduced by others, it can be tested, validated. A subjective opinion, such as 'not even a subtle improvement' or 'many veils lifted' or 'better microdynamics' or 'wider soundstage', or... are all in the category of being impossible to verify, but more so, for me, impossible to also understand in the context of my own music, my own listening, in my own system. Does Amir make mistakes with his measurements? Sure he does. But he produces a lot of verifiable data, and much of it has been verified by others, including those who dislike him or disagree with him. When a real mistake is reported, he fixes it. Try to convince a subjective audiophile that the soundstage is not as wide as they think it is This is why objective is ... objectively better I wholeheartedly agree with most of this. Just piping up to say that subjective reports are often helpful to me if they come from someone whose tastes have seemed to jibe with mine in the past.

Amir has an EE at least. I don't know what say JA has. JA was a liberal arts major. I note Amir says he worked in the early or mid 1980s on the "then new" Unix operating system...
