"Don't you know all music players sound the same!!!!!!

And according to Mr JRiver all paintings must look the same...

LOL !!!!!


The video below explains the problem with Mr. JRiver to a tee..."

Agree, it is funny.

However, IMO, isn't the video a nice demonstration of the problem with purely subjective opinions? Obviously the man has 'golden eyes' and demonstrates presumably positive emotional valence towards his creations... Nothing wrong with that but I obviously don't have his golden retinas. Thankfully these are paintings and can be shown on screen.

If it were an opinion about something like cables' sounds, how would any of us judge his comment if he said "I just made 13 cables and one of them sounds *the best ever*!"? Do we immediately buy/borrow/steal a set of these cables to try out? Do we allow ourselves to think that maybe this "start-up" discovered some new cable topology or physical principle? Do we fork over however many $$$ he insists it may be worth? Or do we treat the claims with some skepticism and at least suggest that he provide evidence to his claim? I digress...

I don't think there's any point arguing about this obviously as we've been through this a million+1 times. Nor do I think that video adds anything to the thread discussion. Fun distraction nonetheless.
