It would be a waste of time (yours and mine), as you kindly laid out in another thread:
"I've attempted to follow what you are tying to say for years but it is mostly just mud."
and you expressed unlimited confidence that it (never no) couldn´t have beend your fault:
"This isn't our failing, it's yours."
So what about trying an alternative approach, i´ll cite a couple of basic literature about experimental design in general, sensory testing in general and audio testing in specific.
If you have specific questions while studying it, i´ll be happy to help in (non mud? 🙂 ) style of short and precise explanations.
Yes, that's about the only time you are correct - I should have used the term rhetoric but i still find your post ironic your intended meaning "is the opposite of that expressed by the words used
Hi TNT, kindly clarify what you mean. Do you mean that it does not help to have an amplifier with less variation of phase response vs frequency unless I have the special speaker? And please elaborate a bit more on the special speaker, would a simple FR driver like Scanspeak 10F/8424 be good enough?
I've noticed in modern life that there is a preponderance of willful ignorance - it seems to me that people cannot make the effort to understand & learn & prefer instead to distrust scientific research without any foundation for such distrust only their cherished beliefs.
Questioning science is at the heart of scientific thought but only when it comes from a position of logic, not willful ignorance.

At my age I've become very used to being told I'm wrong. It used to bother me; now I just silently grin as time rolls around and I'm shown to be correct. 😀 All part of life.
But anyway... since apparently people keep "accusing" you of things every time they challenge one of your statements, I'll just stop responding to your posts. Not worth the trouble.
Not feeding trolls may not be the best way to deal with them..... The conventional wisdom about not feeding trolls makes online abuse worse - The Verge
Funny ScottJ, but at some point the discussions just become useless, not worth the trouble. It's just a merry-go-round of different points of view. Makes you dizzy for no good reason.
And yes, I'm wrong about being right. When I turned 50 I told my wife "Dear, I've gotten to the point in a man's life where everything he does or says is wrong." Her reply: "Oh that's completely untrue!" 😀 These days I just roll with it.

I found the link offering undithered 44.1/16 sound samples for testing (originally from Jakob).
Still working on it, hoping to get < 1° variation from 1k-10kHz early next year. Don't know if ever be able to achieve for 1k-20kHz, but grampa's ears may not be able to hear the difference anyway. 🙂
This one? What kind of evidence do you consider as sufficient?
It seems to me in retrospect that the title was disingenuous
Yes, that's the one. Jacob is referring to my post #857
What kind of evidence do you consider as sufficient?
I honestly don't understand most of what Jacob posts, and I'm not alone. I was trying to get him to be more clear in his posts.
FWIW, I don't not think mmerril or Jacob are trolls. Jacob's arguments are difficult to understand. Because I disagree almost completely with mmerril I have pointed out how and why I disagree. He has returned the favor.
You are correct, there is a very real possibility that my grampa's ears really could not hear any difference anyway. 😀
Trolling is a behaviour, we've probably all done it to some degree, I like to consider myself quite clued up (it's likely I'm not) From here, a link from earlier What is Trolling?
"Some trolls can seem to care about a topic, because they hold extreme views on it, and will hold forth at great length on said topic, in excruciating detail, to anyone who will listen. For days. Weeks. Months. But this is an illusion.
The most striking characteristic of the worst trolls is that their position on a given topic is absolutely written in stone, immutable, and they will defend said position to the death in the face of any criticism, evidence, or reason."
