Re: I think, therefore I think I am?

Hi Bob,

I'm glad to hear you like to listen and I stand corrected.
My suggestions to listen were not about spending the time setting up an elaborate test though. Maybe that's why we keep differing on how much time it would take. My point was to spend a few minutes and from that experience, decide if you want to pursue the issue further with more elaborate testing if that is your inclination.

"I still don't see any parallel to choosing a piano, or to anything else for creating music or sound, like guitars, guitar amps, or other instruments. Originating sound is not the same as reproducing it."

What I was referring to was evaluting the sound of the instrument and comparing it to one's memory of the sound of another. Or playing one instument and then another. Sonic "memory" is still involved, just as it is when comparing a CD player with vibration measures and the same player without.



"Some people need to demonstrate their aural acuity by claiming to hear differences that may not actually exist...:

Agreed. This however is not always the case. By the same token, one could say some folks need to "disprove" what others can hear but they can't. I remember an experience in Atlantic studios once where the tech was aligning a machine using a 15kHz tone playing quite loudly over the loudspeakers. When I asked him if he could please turn the volume down because it was painful, his first word was "Bullshit". He couldn't tell the difference when the mute button was switched on and off. Both of these examples are extremes that don't reflect the larger middle ground.



"Thank you for disclosing your commercial interest in this subject."

Please read what I said again. I came up with a creation and have been giving the specs away so folks can make their own or have them made for them by their own machinist. I don't see how this is a "commercial interest". If someone asks for the specs (the only way to get them), I send them. Is that commerce?

My "interest" in the subject is only rooted in my interest in music and sound. The only profit I gain from Hip Joints is when someone who has heard them let's me know what they experienced.

Really Bob, it is interesting that you missed that point, so clearly stated in my post. Are you predisposed to "disproving" what I've said? Or do you still think I have a "commercial interest"?

Cheers,
Barry
