Perhaps people buzz less over a $600 headphone than a $4000 headphone if there are issues. Without any data it’s impossible to know the failure rate of any headphone.

You take no responsibility as usual. At least you’re consistent.

Then why have you made almost 100 posts in this thread? That’s nearly 25% of the posts here. You are as much of the problem as the members you constantly whine about.

I tried to make some suggestions that IMO would improve Sound Science. Some people on both sides of the discussion clearly prefer the current model No problem with that but this site and subforum clearly is no longer a place that works for me so I’ll see myself out. Not enough content to make...

I don’t agree with your viewpoint, though I’m not surprised.

You think the thread I started yesterday was dumb? You seemed to agree with the concept.

Unfortunately but as expected, another thread has been deleted. Seems like Sound Science will remain a safe harbor for trolling.

I’ll repeat myself one last time - filters are useful. Upscaling in isolation is not. Sorry I can’t make it any clearer than that. Last word can be yours - troll away!

HQplayers filters work better than the $mscaler. I forgot that you didn’t know the basics and needed everything spoonfed. At a fraction of the price, and without the absurd claims made by Rob Watts. The problem you’ll find is that HQPlayer assumes the user has some knowledge of its operations...

You certainly are the master of out of context quotes. Did you miss the discussion of HQplayer, a relatively inexpensive software title performs better with more options than mscaler? Rob Watts intentionally misrepresents inaudible low level content as audible. If you’re into buying a multi...

Apologies for repeating myself, but just because you don’t know something <> no one knows that something. This would be some of the easiest blind testing to conduct All you need is another person to randomly switch between your DIY box and the OOB grounding, listen, and record your guess...

Reread your last post. Do you actually believe what you wrote? TLDR:: subjective beliefs should supersede all science and the planet should be nuked because most people have at least a modicum of science based thought and use those thoughts to understand how things actually work (or don’t work)...

The problem with your view is that you consider any tweak that you subjectively like as an indication that known science is wrong. We’re 150 years into this and you think one internet crackpot combined with one subject evaluation in any way indicates that known science is wrong? Despite the...

I think Truthiness is the word that fits here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truthiness https://www.cc.com/video/63ite2/the-colbert-report-the-word-truthiness

Yup. All I have is the thin air of known science. How can I compete with a subjective sighted evaluation from someone predisposed to believe any huckster with a good spiel.

Of course you do. This is the least surprising thing posted in the thread.

Don’t discount the level of desperation that “audiophiles” have. Some of the links are active. I was able to put at least one item in a cart and the checkout process took me to a seemingly legitimate PayPal payment. Obviously, didn’t try to purchase but I’ll bet there are some non critical...

Ignoring is definitely part of the solution but the question of why this subforum operates under different moderation standards remains. I think the second part of your post is fairly accurate. Outright banning of any discussion of science would be a bad look for HF and would probably receive...

I don’t think @71db is referring to this thead or your posts. There was another thread sunjam derailed that was deleted until he complained to the site wide mods who restored and then locked the thread. Personally, I think your posts have been fine and focused on finding a better understanding...

Yes, everyone could/should have ignored him, myself included. That said, this is a prime example of the difference in moderation here vs. the rest of the site.

Despite what you seem to think, the laws of physics apply to audio. You not understanding the basics doesn’t mean others don’t, nor does it invalidate a century and a half of accumulated data and knowledge.

Thank you. Comically and predictably, he’s now taking out of context screenshots of posts here and having a rant on his blog. Sad to say, but he seems truly convinced that his uninformed opinions are right and known science is wrong. And that we’re all terrible people which is odd...

I apologize to everyone for engaging with a troll. Moving on…
