Ok, how about a sci.audiophile and alt.audiophile then? Or take the mods to the DIY forum.
Personally I want to understand what is superstition and what is reproducible. I think the response on anti-aging creams is self-evident. If it claims efficacy I want to know it really works, not just is claimed to work so as to grab money. People have been buying ineffective medicines, creams and lotions for thousands of years. By the way, did you ever see B.F. Skinner's paper on "superstitious" pigeons? Basically the experiment was to provide operant conditioning without regard to the pigeon behaviour. The pigeons thus became "superstitious" - they learned to repeat whateever behaviour they were doing at the time of the reward (food) even though it had no actual connection to the behaviour. Personally I think there is a lesson for the audiophile community there, in my opinion, of course. -- Eric Carroll Transporter-Bryston 3B SST-Paradigm Reference Studio 60 v.4 SB3-Rotel RB890-B&W Matrix 805 SB3-Pioneer VSX-49TXi-Mirage OM7+C2+R2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Carroll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9293 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32352 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
