Why no direct FR chart comparison with the HD600? (Went through the thread quickly, only saw 660-650, and 650-600)

The degree in question I think might be a PhD in being delusional. Confusing a clear challenge as a plain liar and bull diseminator, plus a request to show actual evidence of claimed PhD student status, with "welcoming an idea with skepticism." Oh boy...   I will refrain from too much...

I did research in grad school as well and at work. And I *do not* understand where he's coming from. And this is the section about "Sound Science" after all, and the title of this thread can clearly suggest why I might be all out hostile against what seems to me a lot of plain bull.

Well well, you here say that "the result is that..." bla bla bla, so your "it is an advanced research" has already some results, but you later say can't show any evidence until two years? Sorry man, I actually don't believe you are doing any PhD. Quite a few things in your post smell a bit fishy...

That can't be enphasized strongly enough.   Quote:

Well wouldn't it be nice if anything one needed to do to pretend to win an argument was to say that one has indicated an "objective truth" to point to an alleged "flaw" in the opponents point of view. Gee, I could write a LOL but it's not funny really. It just shows that besides being...

Well, hard to find anyone who would say otherwise, isn't it? Sorry but from your comments, it's clear you are not particular familiar with critical thinking, or cognitive biases, or self-delusion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases You are just trying to have people...

You are mixing apples and oranges. Driving experience and enjoyment is subjective, true, but car performance is almost entirely perfectly measurable and cars can be compared easily with no risk of cognitive biases. Very easy to see when a car runs faster, breaks faster, steers better, or has...

  You are clearly quite the (gullible) customer, not just in audio, for any salesman wanting to make a huge profit.

You've described somewhat exactly how it works, only incompletely. When one knows that the expensive equipment is playing, our brains will fool us into thinking we are hearing something somewhat different and perhaps better. But you failed to keep going about where the ultimate truth gets...

Original link is broken, here's a working one: http://www.ecoustics.com/articles/ten-biggest-lies-audio/ I recently created another thread with a similar collection of audio truths assessed by mostly skeptics and engineers...

Nineteen likes on Facebook's Headfi group post so far after one day, so it deserves its own thread here on Head-fi I think.   I love to listen to music, and would like to say that being a tech/audio enthusiast has helped me actually become more skeptic and a better critical thinker in general...
