Auditory Perception in relation to this hobby

Merrill, I went and had a look at your website - wow - very impressive. Did a bit of fantasy shopping, and came away empty handed with two mono block power amps, a pre-amp, a phono-amp, and some interconnect and speaker cabling. The bill came to $104,500. That's enough money to cover the cost of food, fuel, clothing, and running a vehicle for two people for at least ten years.

It made me think. Why are you on a public audio forum starting a thread about the vagaries of audio perception, when your real purpose seems to be trying to find a solution for a highly complex technical problem that really should be discussed behind closed doors under a non disclosure agreement?

What incentives are there for me to share my own unique hard won intellectual property with you? I am somewhat confused by the disparity between what you ask out loud and what you seek in return.

Really, how?

By looking at what you take in, by what you accept or discard. It indicates you are looking for something, but without what I feel is sufficient transparency to be mutually inclusive. You are selling what is a highly exclusive range of products that I would not, in my wildest dreams of avarice, ever be able to afford. So, why should someone like me help you?

I can and do share quite openly. But there has to be an intrinsic incentive for that to happen. Right now, I don't quite see it. I need to be convinced.

ToS, you've just shown a great example of confirmation bias.

Tbh, I am not looking for anything - I have given more information on this thread than anyone else & may continue to do so, if I'm bothered.

I even have people a practical DIY example that people can try to test if internal ground within PCM1794 modulates. I see it went relatively quiet after I posted that.

Contribute it you want or not, it's up to you - I'm not needy for your input.

Yes, if in doubt gaslight those who question you. Only in my case it doesn't work. I must confess, I had to look up what confirmation bias actually means. Nope - not even close.

You haven't answered the question - what's in it for you?

If you do reply, may I kindly ask that you make some legible sense in what you say?

What's in it for me was hopefully an interesting discussion as can happen on this forum. I was also asked to start my own thread on this topic by a few members, including ScottJ
As I said if you're not interested, I'm cool with that but I will also point out what is wrong in your posts

As it seems that you have conformed to your own confirmation bias, I think it best that you have the last word, and good luck with that.

So he does indeed sell expensive audio electronics. No wonder he keeps going silent whenever I ask him about it. Oh, BTW, don't forget to include the power cord that has "milled spade connectors" and "venting on the top". 😉

It's been outlined on post #25 of this thread.

He hasn't confirmed or denied it even when directly asked, one is bound to wonder why, it would be simple enough to do. Personally the stuff on that site doesn't look particularly well constructed to me, although on a positive note it looks tacky enough to attract the target market :whip:
 
No, it would spoil your fun. Can we move on from NFM now?

Oh, you're so fickle 😀 - such a tease - only yesterday you posted:
I hope the debate does evolve, at the moment it appears to be quite narrow. It's up to Merrill of course but I'm wondering if "Auditory perception of noise floor modulation in DACS" wouldn't have been a more appropriate thread title.

Now you want a change?
Where to now, darling? 😱

Haha, no, I was implying that NFM in DAC's was all you seemed to be interested in 😉

I'm happy to learn anything about psychoacoustics that can be proven, or can be shown to be a real effect, there's plenty of it, and it's important for the enjoyment of music in our rooms.
