In Reply to: Are you unfamiliar with J. Risch's controlled blind listening posted by bjh on December 9, 2006 at 05:00:19:
Golden ears like yourself will believe ANYTHING you want to believe without question.Do you ever think about the hearing ability claims?
Do you ever have doubts?
Do you ever ask qustions?
Do you ever try to replicate the claims?
Do you ever wonder why no one else in the world has even come close to making similar claims?
Is there no hearing ability claim so extraordinary and so unique that it deserves doubt?
It seems no hearing ability claim can ever be too extreme, even if goes far, far beyond anyone else's experiences.
Over three decades of controlled listening tests not one audiophile has ever demonstrated to witnesses his ability to differentiate among wires intended for audio use while listening to music.
Meanwhile Risch makes an extraordinary self-serving claim for himself (as a self-appointed "wire guru") that's so far out of the ballpark that it is in the next city!
Risch claims to have the ability to hear differences among about one-dozen different types of wire insulation materials with high scores (scores never revealed) during double blind tests (test methodology never discussed and test leader never revealed) in front of witnesses (not one name ever revealed, nor has anyone ever come forward to claim he was a witness).
In fact, Risch even claims the incredible ability to rank-order these one-dozen different wire insulation materials by sound quality!
How can Risch do this?
Well he can't!
These claims are lies!
When asked for test details, Risch responds with character attacks.
I would be willing to bet thousands of dollars that Risch can't hear differences among one-dozen different types of wire insulation.
I would be willing to add a side bet that he can't even obtain one dozen different speaker wires identical EXCEPT FOR the insulation materials (that would be needed for such a test).
