Richard when are you going to stop fabricating these fairy tales to support your beliefs?
This statement of yours " Golden ears are a bunch of men who sit around discussing tubes and vinyl while claiming ultra-high hearing abilities, but can never score well in any test of their claimed listening skills, even though tests are fun and could bring great fame to any participant who does well. is absolutely ASSinine!
I believe by your standards I'd qualify as a "Golden Eared" audiophile. I hang around with other members of the Central Florida Audio Society and you're absolutely correct ---{ for once }--- we definitely do discuss tubes and vinyl but, not a single one of us claims or believes we have any "ultra-hearing" abilities.
That said , my friend Mike R. & I can, have and continue to be able to reliably tell differences in ICs, speaker wire, tubes, preamps, power amps etc., so your belief that we can never score well in any test of our listening skills is just one more of your many erroneous assumptions that you attempt to pass off as facts!
In addition taking tests aren't what I'd describe as fun at all. Why? because "if" you're going to do it you might as well do it right in the first place and doing SBTs and especially DBTs requires work, time and effort, none of which I'd even begin to remotely call as fun. Listening to music is fun, taking tests is work.
The idea of receiving great fame for doing well in these tests is outright laughable coming from you. In order to continue with this mistaken beliefs you as well as your fellow LFOs refuse to come and witness the tests outright in order to be able to obtain the undeniable proof you all "claim" you actually desire to have. This refusal on your part requires that we post the results of our tests here but, when they're reported you LFO's just start to accuse us ---{ and I assume you do this in order to continue to remain living in the comfort of the cocoon of your erroneous assumptions you like to pass off as facts }--- with a myriad of excuses why the tests aren't acceptable. These excuses range a gauntlet from claiming the tests that weren't witnessed ---{ even when they were }--- to the tests weren't done properly! I'm not even going to attempt to type out the other numerous excuses you all have in the range of this gauntlet. The one I remember best and especially liked was when one of your fellow LFO's stated until the results of my tests are published and peer reviewed, they're useless! Oh yes Richard this is definitely fun.
Richard the reality is subjectivists will never get any "fame" like you're impling for passing these tests. All we'll get and will continue to get here is a barrage of ridicule accompanied by numerous berating & disparaging comments from you and your fellow LFOs for our attempts. Oh yes Richard that certainly sounds like fun to me. This post like most of your posts here is just another of your fabrications made to support your preconceived notions of what actually occurs in audio and what you want to believe subjectivists actually do and believe.
