In Reply to: "It's "common knowledge" that DBTs of properly functioning amplifiers reveal no differences amongst them" posted by Richard BassNut Greene on December 29, 2005 at 08:52:12:
First off, read what I said and don't put words in my mouth. I never said that Objectivists are wrong, only that is apparently incorrect that DBTs always produce a "no differences demonstrated" result.Secondly you accuse me of "baiting" golden ears, (whatever exactly that means), and you congradulate me for having done so successfully! This wouldn't be so ridiculous if there had been even a couple three golden ears who congradulated me for my report -- in fact the hardcore golden ears were as dismissive as you are.
Finally, and most reprehensively, you dismiss the Sound Advice article as "no test" which absolutely minimal knowledge of the actual test. You simply assume there was no validity at all to the method or the results. In short, you are a bigot.
