""I can't hear a difference" is rarely, if ever, claimed ... even when a component is compared with itself!"

Not getting out much any more? I hear this all the time. I say it myself, more often than not. You really must be hanging out with some extremists, or, more likely, you've just made up all sorts of "facts" to support a position that is otherwise indefensible.

"but over THREE DECADES one finds a very common scene where some audiophiles
"hear" differences in sighted "warm-up" ... that seem to disappear minutes later when the double-blind methodology is used,
providing good evidence of an "imagined difference bias" among audiophiles."

Now come on, RBGN. Put your science cap on, and try to think of another possible explanation for the results you just made up. There's no "good evidence" anywhere in your post, other than this: "Blimd tests of your ears are only relevant to your ears ..." Says something about that 30 year BS, doesn't it?


Thankfully the nonsense you keep claiming is very entertaining. Though I have to admit, the game is no longer, "What's he going to post?" but "In what order is he going to post the same empty statements?" Its just not as fascinating anymore. Still funny, though.

The "golden ears" whom you claim keep insisting on "everything sounding different" must be those ghosts that AJinFLA is so obsessed about on Propheads. You two ought to get together and post as a team.
