"Our camp"? Why the US vs THEM? Is this really a battle worth fighting? What do you gain from that fight and drama? Page views?The horse is not dead. Adoption of such tweaks have become almost universal. Our camp has not done enough to counter them.
Now, don't get me wrong. I do believe that manufacturers' outrageous claims should be tested. Extraordinary claims should be backed by extraordinary evidence. But the evidence (from either camp) should be scientifically sound.
Not really. Some people can't be won over with facts. Sadly this applies in areas other than audio as well.Just saying something is impossible when the other party thinks strongly that they hear something dies not work. Measurements help with that argument. Null testing adds a powerful component.
