And it is entirely possible he was able to hear a difference between the devices he claimed. Since they are not available anymore we will never know.
The witch hunting in this thread is no different than bullying. You don't stress a test subject like this. If he fails any test here, you will never know if it is because he is nervous and/or under stress.
But since Amir is so keen on tests, I think it would be much more fair to test Amir:
You should all:
- Go through all Amir's writing and videos on this site.
- Find out what claims Amir has made regarding his knowledge and hearing.
- Design some tests to see if we can know if he is able to do what he claims.
- Test him on video.
- Publish the result.
I have (off course) not done 1.-5. above, so I don't know what claims he has made, so this is just some suggestions on what kind of tests, I would consider:
- See if he can hear the difference between 320kbs ogg-vobis and CD
- See if he can pass (without preparation) some written MIT examinations on electronics, test theory, maths, acoustics, etc.
- See if he can hear the difference on some of his test tracks, if we EQ them a bit, within the claims he makes within his speaker and headphone tests.
So
@amirm are you up to it?
