>>>Also, keep in mind that some magazines, like The Sensible Sound, have
not helped matters by stating that they found no sound difference
between cheap CD players and expensive ones. <<<What have they done? Compared them in a DBT as it should be and the only way to eliminate your biases. Is that frightening to some? No, they did everything right and the Brit magazine messed up their tests. It could be a preference test as that is what they are well known for.
The Sensible Sound proclaims that there are no audible differences between inexpensive and expensive CD players. And in that same issue go on to actually review CD players, in different price ranges, stating their preference based partly on what they sound like. Gee, they sure earned their credibility in that issue.And how the hell would you know if these tests were run properly? You only seem to think the test was done properly if the outcome agrees with your beliefs. Now who is being biased here? Let's see, you buy bought your CD player because ABX testing told you that you can't hear any difference between different players. Did you even bother to verify that? No! Again, insecurity keeps you from challenging your own beliefs. You seem to think that your bias is correct and anybody who disagrees with that is wrong.
Good luck and keep reading those ABX test results.
I was suckered into a perscription with the back-issue offer and actually took the time to read most of the print back into their past. I got a new issue in the mail the other day and put it directly into the recycle bin without even opening it. I wouldn't even use that rag to mulch under my spruce trees. They might all start growing the same.Hey, here's a thought. Let's assume that all audio gear sounds alike. I'd still rather read good writing about it. Inaccurate untruths written with wit, style and humor are much more palitable. Give me good writers, I'll decide for myself where my truth is.
And how will you sort out the truth? You already threw out one sopurce and rejected it. Besides, you didn't read that ALL components sound the same, that is just your imagination doing tricks on you.
What page exately is that preferenced based article on CD players in the same issue? I don't seem to find it. Perhaps you are mistaken or didn't comprehend.
I am sure you are right, they don't know how to conduct a DBT. Do you? Have you found a difference? Perhaps your test is flawed beyond recognition.
Oh yes, I don't verify every test as they do seem credible; I only question the questionable ones. Do you veryfy every DBT or sighted test with your DBT?
On the otherhand, since you have such a hard time accepting this or any other DBT, where are your test results? Protocols?
