you praise him, but maybe you could also take his methodology for yourself.
OP is a simple guy, he doesn't try to pass as some expert, he doesn't claim too much, he just wondered about something and looked for many reasonable tests on the subject to form an opinion and hopefully get some facts out of it all. of course it's a very good method and he's certainly praiseworthy in a domain where others are so keen on jumping to conclusion no matter how little they actually know. we certainly agree that he's a cool dude. for doing all that work and research before making claims, and also for sharing it all with us instead of posting something like "audiophiles are wrong most of the time, lol". and leaving it at that. the general idea is fairly similar but the way to reach the conclusions is not nearly as clear nor trustworthy.
so far you've done the mostly the opposite of his first post. you've posted a great deal of empty claims and offered very little pieces of evidence to substantiate anything you said. and we know you didn't research some of the subjects too much, because some of your claims are just plain wrong and no measurement or blind testing is ever going to support them.
my point is. if you like the guy, please pretty please, be more like
@Prog Rock Man when you post. provide evidence, explain experiences, rely on controlled test. and stop making empty claim about everything. the claim should come at the very end when all the knowledge has been gathered, when all the controlled experiences have been analyzed, then if we feel like we have enough elements, we draw some conclusion and perhaps claim something. if you don't care much about proving you claims, you should make them outside of this section. in the cable section, blind testing is a forbidden subject. nobody is going to annoy you with silly stuff like facts and your outstanding lack of evidence about the audibility of something when you post in the cable section. you say what you like, someone will agree, someone will disagree, and that's the end of it.
in here if you're making a claim, you better have solid evidence to back it up. nobody asks for you to make so many claims, we 'd rather you didn't. claims are something serious. but if you want to post them anyway, at least in the spirit of science and objective reality, prepare a ****load of evidence to try and convince the other members.
in short, be more like
@Prog Rock Man. fewer claims, more data.
