In Reply to: "It still remains that sighted listening is less reliable than controlled DBTs." That's an assertion; or is there proof? posted by clarkjohnsen on December 21, 2005 at 09:10:14:
Clark,I'm also surprised your DBT thread was deleted. There does seem to be a sensitivity here about DBT generally- if you look at one of the Cable Asylum headers, it says something about that forum being "a DBT-free zone" and any DBT talk will be recycled into DIY speaker wires.
I understand there are those here fatigued by repeat discussions- I must've talked about the best 12AT7 on "Tubes" 30 times, but discussing the merits of various methods to evaluate audio stuff would seem to be important, and anyone around a long time that is bored of the topic is free not to participate.
Having read all of the posts in your thread yesterday, I also didn't see anything polemic or contentious.
Cheers,
Bambi B
