Yep it would be a repetitive show (almost worse than those f----- crab fishers I try to will to sink every time i zapp past them ) OCD midleaged guy imagining stuff proven wrong . 2 possible results , gets deeper into denial claiming ABX is invalid or learn something and moves on . You could enhance the show by cutting to a real scientist explaining how this really works or how some tweak not work , explaining real physics thats interesting all by itself. In my mind there different kinds of tweaks . Pure voodoo nothing happens everybody can agree . Things that actually change something but to such a tiny degree or in such a way that it is completely inconsequential and thus inaudible anyway ,this can take more explaining . Tweaks that makes large enough difference to be audible but actually makes things worse and the audiophile is trapped in the "different is better" fallacy . I would however be possible to make many seasons as there is absolutely no end to the amount of myths available . I f the production budget allowed the hosts/hostess could be top class musicians participating in the test and could not hear s... preferably while using records they play on :) Or if the proposed scientist also where the same as "the beautiful girl" all TV shows seems to need, it would be interesting TV to watch sweaty middlelaged guys tell this ultra smart you girl thats she is wrong :) I wont suggest names that would be inappropriate imo, I keep my sweaty middle aged male fantasies to myself. But i do think archimago is doing a great service to society as a whole and hope his blog gets well indexed by search engines ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97950
