As I said, I think each position I cited in my earlier post is valid. And yes, I think the burden of proof should be on the "tweaker," not on the "skeptic." Whether either chooses to invest the time to investigate is another matter. If the skeptic were to try to disprove that tweaker hears a difference, how would he go about it? If the tweaker were to try to prove that he hears a difference, how would he go about it? ABX testing is required to make either case. -- jeffmeh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jeffmeh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3986 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32301 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
