Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

Salemen of course want you to buy. I have not bought components from salesmen in 20 years.

It does not surprise me at all that people might say they hear a difference between two brief listenings to the same amp. A thirty second or even a five minute listening is not a valid measure of the performance of an amp.

Again science is not being advanced by people auditioning components, it is advanced by innovative designs and discovering superior parts. I don't understand why you would think science would be advanced by DBT.

I do think that the common. "no difference" outcome in DBT is comforting to some about making a decision as to what to buy. I find it useless as I can clearly hear a difference and am willing to put my money where my mouth is. I have no interest in proving to anyone that I am correct although it is quite satisfying when other gasp at the sound my system gives. I do have an interest is proving that 88 percent of American voters votes are predictable merely by asking them whether they generally think of themselves as Democrats or Republicans or that the best predictor of how much a state funds public education is how wealthy its residents are not which political party controls the state government or how conservative its residents say they are. This is my science which is advanced by such findings.
