Robert: I'm sorry that you just don't get it. I give up.

I don't know who Rich is and I don't recall reading about his blind testing here. He endorses blind testing as superior to long-term listening? If so, I'll give you that one person. This forum has how many thousands of subscribers now? Quite a few vocal blind-test advocates, too. But you know of...

Robert: You're not reading very well today. I said I don't see HERE, on HTF, any of the blind-test advocates participating in such tests. That includes YOU. Please, Robert, enthrall us with your blind-test experiences. Or is your advocacy pure talk? Talk comes easy. Actually doing...

Robert: My experience is quite the opposite. I have never seen an audiophile turn down an invitation to participate in a blind test. On the other hand, I cannot recall the last time, on this forum, that an adamant blind-test advocate said he has ever been part of a blind test. Or that he...

Robert: Thank you for the clarification. The story changes by the hour. Now we are expected to change our belief systems and dismiss our personal experiences due to the listening ability of but one person. If true, it is indeed an amusing story.

Chu: So you are personally vouching for the listening acumen of this couple? It escapes me why you feel that what these two people can or cannot hear should dictate the actions of everybody else in the world. Stop the presses, audio hobbyists: Your efforts and experience evaluating...

Dave: It would be surprising only if the Nakamichi and Marantz sounded identical. By substituting a different receiver you changed both a preamp section and power amp section, and all the different circuit topologies inherent in their respective designs. The Nak, as your ears should have...
