Yes, you did,
but it is a numbers game and there comes a point even in the visual spectrum where no one can differentiate, right? And, just because it is so in the visual that it is automatically the same in aural spectrum, right?
I am claiming differences that show up on a scope.
Ok, but it doesn't mean those are audible differences, right?
I am providing methods by which a person can measure those differences in their own home,
Only if they have the right gear, right? Many/most do not.
Sometimes the audio quality is so large it's blatantly obvious.
Maybe, maybe not. That is a common claim also.
I am stating that statistical generalizations due to DBTs of large groups does not necessarily apply to individual DBTs, and provide tetrachromacy as an example of why this may be so.
Just a probability of what the next person might achieve, no? And, when no one has achieved audibility to this point, the probability is much higher and the demonstration needs to be more credible beyond a personal claim to be so.
When I refer to smear, I am referring to the blending of one note into another in the time domain. This is separate from harmonic distortion and frequency response measurements.
Yes, but again, it is very subjective and needs to be demonstrated to be believed by others, if it is important. It may not be important to do so one way or another.
I wish I could find the research paper again. I thought I downloaded it but I can't find it. Sorry. I know that automatically lessens my credibility (I might be lying) but it's just my word that I'm telling the truth the paper exists.
Well, it would be good to locate it somehow so others can read it and perhaps learn something new, or not, or find the flaws. Who knows. Lying has nothing to do with this.
It's just one paper, so it's not the end-all-be-all, but it's the only one I found that tried to differentiate between musicians and non-musicians. I don't particularly like straight out refusal to believe research A because of research B though.
But, one can judge a paper. It may be good research or filled with flaws that matter to the conclusions.
Do I believe a cable can affect the sound? Yes. Why? Because you can easily model an analog filter in terms of R, C, L and the circuit created by your output jack, cable, and input jack can be reduced to such a circuit. What cable do I prefer? Thick, well-insulated, well-shielded copper with low electrical characteristics.
But then, DBTs would have shown at what point those matter, or not. And, it seems that when the wire is large enough, say 16ga or over, residential runs, not 100s of feet long, it doesn't matter. But, Spock was not tested.
When asked to prove my claims, I've asked the skeptics to prove my claims to themselves. I'm being handed the burden of proof. I'm trying to hand it back.
Oh, but the burden is on the claimant to demonstrate i8n a credible manner, not others. And, based on current data, that is not a simple demonstration
