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

The question concerns Klaus adhering to his own standards. There is nothing hypocritical in the query.

Perhaps this is just another case of you having the perceptual fortitude of .... what?, hmmmm ....?, how about a culinary analogy? ... of an over-cooked strand of spaghetti that prevents you from seeing the obvious.

Still don't get? I'm sure you don't!, so let me elaborate. You see Klaus has a reputation for being very critical (to say the very least) of the finding of the audio press, especially with respect to subjective reviews.

One of the major theme of said nonsense (sorry, I mean criticism) is the question of the usefulness of finding from sighted testing. If fact, based upon seeing multiple examples of his squawking, I think it fair to say that what he has said above regarding cables fits the general case as well (and BTW, the scarcity of controlled tests is by no means limited to cables only!):

"The available evidence FOR cable sonics amounts to sighted (read biased) testing and some blind tests, which latter did not use the required strict DBT protocols and must therefore be considered as methodologically flawed, hence worthless.

(my emphasis)

And now we have Klaus promoting the Review To End All Reviews, a review with the fantastic "Perfect. Period." finding, and you think it hypocritical that an inquire is made as to the methodologically employed in said review!

Is it getting clear now?
