You can't say "dummy head" on Head Fi. It's against the rules.

 
Where?

I believe he's just being sarcastic, and playing off the fact that use of the the word "placebo" is prohibited by the posting guidelines as it is considered a "derogatory" word. And in that context, his post was hilarious.

[Steve Eddy]

That's fine. Just don't call him a placebo though.

What about a test of the effects of medication on hearing? If you start with obecalp, is it against the rules?

Somebody please tell me if I'm horribly wrong, but isn't it 6 dB? They're (hopefully) outputting the same signal in phase at the eardrum.
 
Now, as for the distortion generated by the actual products as a whole...

Should be. I'm not sure that 6dB is all that worth doubling up on everything.
 
Maybe each driver in the pairs has different filters. That doesn't seem very useful either, though.

Would it be against head fi rules to petition for xnor to be unbanned? :/

What is it about audio forums and overzealous admins?

FTFY
 
Most forums (or at least the ones that I frequent) are generally filled with like minded people. A lot of (often the majority of) members are not interested about debating, but rather finding information that supports their world view or circlejerking their world view. It's a combination that makes a breeding ground for extremist beliefs. Usually, a set of shared beliefs emerges that no one on the forum is interested in debating, only circlejerking. When the circlejerk and extreme beliefs get out of control, to help maintain the unsustainably colored world views shared by most of the members, the higher ups of many forums will be tougher against dissenters.

I don't have any of these sorts of problems at the music forums I frequent. There are jerks, but the community itself deals with it. Not a "big daddy".
