Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

Your observations are mostly well-taken. Still I have concerns.

Look at two of their statements:

"The CD has adequate bandwidth and dynamic range for any home reproduction task." Oh really? I’ll bet no attention whatsoever was devoted to low-level resolution and dynamics; whenever one hears talk about “dynamic range” it’s only about how loud something can go, never how well it can reveal the music at low, bit-strangulated levels. (Talking PCM here.)

Even worse:

"The burden of proof has now shifted." And now I’m mad as hell! Cleverly they have slipped this article into a forlorn albeit vaguely respected journal, from which a campaign can be mounted to shoot down any opposition. “See? Read the article the JAES if you don’t believe me.”

You say you might "email Meyer and ask him for full documentation on the tests". Good! Also ask him what the equipment was, esp. the speakers -- and if you would, please, pass the response along to me.
