Big thanks to Nadeem for organizing such a well executed meet. No doubt lots of work went on behind the scenes to make it appear so effortless on the day. Refreshing beverages (hot and cold), Lunch to keep us going through the day, and live music to feed the soul. A venue with character, filled...

The beauty of the scientific method, and evidence based reasoning is that my opinion makes no difference. If different components do have a sonic difference,  then independent observers should be able to reliably reproduce those differences, to a statistically significant degree.   If the...

Consider the following.   Consider two systems made of differing components. If the components sound different how can the systems sound the same?   What do we mean by sound the same?  Produce the same output for the same input?   Why not measure the the outputs for the given...
