I don't believe cables make a difference, any input?

Yes.

Now, what's the bandwidth of the pulse the TDR pings the line with? And what's the bandwidth of a typical recorded music signal?

Sounds similar to my little system.

And no patch bays for the last 10 years rdf? So is all this gear hardwired and that patchbay just a useless organ? http://www.quadnyc.com/Studio_A_files/IMG_4997_2.JPG

What I'm saying is that those who are frequently referred to as "subjectivists" aren't truly subjectivists in my opinion.

A true subjectivist simply accepts their subjective experience for what it is and doesn't attempt to pass it off as anything more.

This in contrast to those often referred to as "subjectivists" who routinely assert their subjective experience as an unerring reflection of some physical reality. In other words, if they subjectively perceive some difference, they insist that it's due to an actual audible difference.

At that point, one is no longer a subjectivist in my opinion. I'm not sure what you'd call them. Perhaps "pseudo objectivists" would be a good term, after the phrase "pseudo science" which also tends to be part and parcel of their belief system.

That's my intent. As a matter of fact, I'm all for Tom doing so and hope to attend. I'm not on the side of those desperately wanting to torpedo it.

Who say's I am? As a rationalist, I have to accept that being human, I'm fallible (unlike the so called subjectivists). So no matter how remote, I could be wrong and again, unlike them, be forced to accept this conclusion. But I would certainly also want to know why, if there is indeed a physical reason (for non LCR etc wire "sound").

Sy, is that really what you plan to do to TG1954? Will his inability to float be DBT, with many insertions into the tank? I think I understand your beard better now.

Terrific. So tell us about your method in your DBT's, since "disinterested" isn't "unknowing". How was the person switching blind to this fact? Do you analyze yourself to be a "non-adversarial" administrator?

Define "good-sounding" recording.

As a "non-adversarial", why haven't you performed any DBT's to support your beliefs? No takers in all of Canada? Why only excuses about performed tests...and no testing yourself?
