"Claims that cannot be tested, assertions immune to disproof are veridically worthless, whatever value they may have in inspiring us or in exciting our sense of wonder. What I'm asking you to do comes down to believing, in the absence of evidence, on my say-so."

That goes for all you tweakophiles making pseudo-objectionist observations and trying to pass them off as truth.

doesn't matter a whit. It's all about musical enjoyment for each individual. Why does one need to "prove" their findings and experiences to anybody?

And the best question of all, the one I always raise....how do you measure musical enjoyment?
"Carl Sagan..." - may be. But you are not. By a long shot. - carcass93 20:06:32 12/16/10 (1)
What was that that you said about science behind equipment support affecting sound? Parapsychology?

How about garden-variety electrical engineering? Still way over your head? A'aight - then how about you clean your ears, buy decent equipment, disabuse your head of all "it all sounds the same FOR EVERYBODY, because I don't hear any difference, and don't understand how it can sound different" BS - and then sit down and listen?

  How about demonstrating that there's any significant effect save for turntables and certain vacuum tubes?
  
  You just throw out the phrase "electrical engineering" as if that in itself is supposed to make your case.

It is an observation that I have made, not a testament to truth. It is the likes of you who are stating as proof that what I heard could not possibly be true.
