Thank you for posting an example of a claim that cannot possibly be correct. However, I am talking about claims relating to SQ, not to expertise or scientific training or awards. tmtomh and askat1988 2 Link to comment
Popular Post Ralf11 Posted December 13, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2019 Just leave out the confirmation bias, attacks on people's systems and condescending tone about your own golden ears. Try to be positive and constructive. Don’t repeat the same statements ad nauseum, don’t try to score points with your buddies and just walk away when someone disagrees or doesn’t want to engage in (potentially endless) discussion. wgscott, sandyk, askat1988 and 8 others 5 2 1 3 Link to comment

It's yet another in a series of attacks against the Audiophile members of the forum by those who wish to save us from ourselves. Furthermore, I seriously doubt that there is a " resident "Angry letter to the editor" member. It's more likely to be quite a few different members wishing to see this forum return to more pleasant days where there wasn't an all out war between the Subjective and Audiophile members, where opposing views weren't shouted down, and for the most part discussions were civil. These days, you won't even see the members of the Industry that used to frequently post here and we all benefitted from their participation. quite a few different members wish to see this forum return to more pleasant days where there wasn't an all out war on science or its application to audio, and angry belligerent rage posters did not try to disrupt every thread on here do you know anyone like that??? mansr, Ajax and marce 2 1 Link to comment

I am also interested in the history of science, including how the right-wing creates "controversies" where none exist (eg: Evolution vs. Creationism, Genetics vs. Eugenics, Climate Change vs. Sunspots, etc.) just to be 'fair & balanced' I will point out that some of the Anti-VAXer stuff comes from Tiburon, including a woman (who was very far from right-wing) who stated that she had a very fine liberal arts education from an elite institution and was therefore well-equipped to judge the science and then there were the Luddites...

Scientists do NOT have open minds like a screen door in a submarine and do not waste time on when a bunch of ill tutored people conflate confirmation bias with actual tests, nor are anecdotal claims of much use in areas that are well understood. Scientists certainly do not need untutored crazy people how to conduct their business either. there is a heap of something tho, you are right about that crenca, Teresa and wgscott 1 2 Link to comment

You have the ability to use the 2 buttons that Teresa mentioned so that the to and fro does not need to continue, but choose to continue anyway. You also have available the IGNORE facility so that you don't even need to see my replies , or those from others that you disagree with. it's all about you eh sandyk, daverich4 and askat1988 1 2 Link to comment

How would you explain that cable lifters are "unlikely" to do anything, not even if made of myrtlewood? cabe lifters align the signal with the phlow of phlogiston in the Earth's magnetic monopole, ensuring that there is no phase drift in your Tice Clock wgscott, mansr and Teresa 3 Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 I asked a late, highly-regarded DAC designer about Myrtlewood, but he was not able to relate his preference to material properties. I still plan to get some next time I visit the coast... just for fun. https://www.wood-database.com/myrtle/ Link to comment
Popular Post Ralf11 Posted December 16, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2019 It's good to see that several people fervently believe that there is no such thing as an impossible claim... 🔴 mansr, esldude and marce 3 Link to comment
