But as I've already pointed out, you and that host of others you cite aren't trusting what you hear. You're making the patently erroneous assumption that when you make a call from sighted listening, all you're basing it on is what you hear.
This isn't about experiments, it is about enjoying audio, and that is ALL. I don't need to do a study to tell me I know what I am hearing. You know where you can put your check.
You know what htey say, denial, it ain't just a river in Egypt.
Drivers will likely wear out given a long enough time period. What's your point? As Danny has stated, the driver reaches a state of equilibrium after some period of use, after which the changes are negligible.
Ah, so some changes are negligable, and some aren't. Well, that's a start. At what point does it reach the *audible* state of equilibrium?
Similar principles apply apparently, as has been shown by Danny's data, which is why I made the comparison; though not to the same degree as direct mechanical contact.
I wasn't likely to give Danny's data credence for representing an *audible* difference in the first place; after seeing more of his posts, I'm no longer inclined to give them credence as data.
blah blah blah. So give up.
That rapier wit will take you far.
Which is why I asked Danny earilier in this thread if those measured differences translated into any noticable differences in the sound produced.
That is a rather key point, is it not?
