Elizabeth, a first-grader will read a primer and take every word literally. By the time you graduate high school, you normally learn to read between the lines. At least a *little, tiny* bit.
So why would he want "more distance"?
Obviously because he either:
a) Cannot hear the difference, or;
b) Does not trust his ears.
In either case, the best solution is to become a better listener. Go back a few issues and read BD's review of the Pass Labs integrated amp. BD quotes Malcolm Gladwell about spending 10,000 hours on something to become good at it. Nelson Pass noted that his products are better now, BECAUSE he has reached that 10,000 hour mark.
He can HEAR better. He doesn't have to do some bullshit double-blind test to know if it sounds better. Jim Austin's argument completely falls apart. If you can hear the difference, buy the one that sounds better to you. If you can't hear the difference, buy the cheapest one that has the reliability you desire.
But Austin is just whining that he can't hear the difference so he wishes that someone would protect him from wasting his money. Ooohh, da poor Jimmy...
As in, not even in the ballpark. Your reading has nothing to do with what I wrote. And I KNOW it ain't my fault.
The problem, I think, is that you got yourself so in a state that you didn't take the time to read carefully. All these wasted photons, pecks, and mouse clicks and you don't even know what I said.
Well at least I'm doing better than you. I got it wrong. As Pauli said, you didn't even get it wrong.
Your list was too small.
Sorry, you are right. It is possible that a broken amplifier would produce sound indistinguishable from a jar of rocks. Even to a PhD scientist.
and all the ultra conservatives in the world cannot put him back in the bag. But you all can still pretend it's the 1980s if you want to.
