Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

You believe whatever you like but I've seen one to many variations on his little story ..

to take it seriously.

If you examine these you'll find some interesting stuff, such as:

1) In his zeal to disclaim cable differences he explicitly holds himself up as case of one easily tricked by the power of suggestion, i.e. the suggestion that silver is bright.

This is somewhat novel in my experience, what would we call it?, perhaps the I'm an impressionable weakling, so thus must you also be strategy?

BTW, if we accept the evidence (the posts) as multiple independent instances then clearly we could conclude that on multiple occasions he had perceived (sighted) silver cables to be bright, and given his knowledge that he fails to observe the effect in blind tests, that he represents a rather extreme case of susceptibility to suggestion ... why one imagines that one need only whisper silver into his ear to witness a system instantaneously transform to bright sounding.

2) He describes instances of playing tricks on his friends, secretly enjoying proving to himself their susceptibility to suggestion.

Add to that he can be counted on to produce the "evidence of scam" cheap innuendo post, e.g:

and finally any number of typical the ranting naysayer vents his spleen missives and I'd say I'm comfortable with my conclusions.

However, that *you* would see it differently is hardly a surprise!
