Short term memory is the first to go . . .

We've been through this before. You fought against blind tests, then said you'd accept them. Then you wanted me to take a trip to Florida to witness you do an invalid, uncontrolled blind test. We were talking about wires, you changed the ground to different types of tubes--something whose audibility I have no opinion about.

Some time ago, Richard invited people to do blind tests on wires, IIRC. But be careful there, because both he and the participant would put up money, with the results of the audition determining who would get it. He had some other conditions, I think, too, and also, he would insist on proper controls. So you would lose your money, is my prediction. Nobody wanted to take him up on it, the last I knew, not even JR, and I've heard nothing on it for quite some time, so maybe he isn't still offering.

Norm Strong once put up a more modest challenge in the past, but no takers, IIRC.

You are not, in fact, interested in doing blind tests, or you would have done them. Richard is not a necessary part of a DBT. Why don't you find someone local competent to administer a controlled blind test? Ah no, that won't do for you . . .
