To be sure, it ought to be 'Gorgonzola'. Merely my misspelling.
Oh, I thought it was some deep pun I wasn't getting.

Both. All of them.
Any cognitive bias can have an impact.
It's not an 'either / or' situation.
Yes, I'm sure you're right. Audiophile enjoyment comes from the hunt for perfect sound, not the achievement of it, (fortunately impossible).
Audiophiles tend to delude themselves about improvements that various components can make. For instance, that cables can make a "huge difference" to the sound is a silly meme, IMO.
On the other hand it's an objectivist meme that "all amplifiers sound the same". It would be quite a stretch to insist that a insist that a 300B tube amp sounds like a Purifi 1ET400A.
You aren't teaching me anything new.
But you are ignoring audio hobby culture and merchandising, which is what I was getting at. They are primarily driven by subjective claims of audible difference. Not by the claims of 'objectivists' who may be letting a 'no difference' bias confound their blind tests. (In academic research 'false negatives' are controlled for.)
Getting subjectivists to accept the power of blind tests, much less take them, is a challenge. Getting them to accept the often belief-confounding results is another. The poster I was addressing was fretting about a molehill rather than the mountain.
Another golden oldie of deflection. "It's just a hobby!"
After you've enlightened that guy I was replying to who was worried about objectivist bias, you might want to enlighten the guy who started this thread.
'Dudes, Y U care?'
Heck, ask Amir too while you're at it.
I'll tell you what it did. It convinced Carver the allure of subjectivism was so strong why fight it when you can profit from it. He went on to make his own tube gear, and other gear all priced way on up there so it had audiophile cred.In an entertainment hobby context, why is this a problem?
And why does it need to be solved?
Why does one need to change the beliefs of people who enjoy the hobby from a different angle?
And why would there be any greater chance of success at trying to get subjectivists to change their point of view today than there has been over the last several decades?
The 'Carver Challenge' after all was 45 years ago......
Other than a momentary controversy, I don't perceive that it changed the world of subjective audio reviewing, audio hobby culture, or merchandising.
Unless I gravely misunderstand, "All amps sound the same" is what our brother SIY says quite regularly; (or to be fair, he says in ABX test nobody can tell which is which is approx. the same thing).Thank heavens then that 'objectivists' don't meme that. That meme you have written is a canard made up by lazy/disingenuous 'subjectivists'.

The same thing has happened to Bruno Putzeys. His Purify line is a return to affordable performance, but his Mola Mola work and expensive cables he was involved with were all simply seeing you couldn't stamp out the market so you might as well make money from it.
It’s one standard edible in the new pot Capitol of the Northeast (Great Barrington, MA).5 mg?
Too low.
That's like 1/2 an edible.

I’ve heard people have some issues with edibles, so I’m thinking you should start slow. (For a laugh, look up Maureen Dowd’s edible experiment, she wrote it up).
But that’s just what I’ve heard. Never done such a thing myself
may I suggest about 5mg of thc?

As a fellow Washingtonian . . .It's unsurprising that the standard MA cannabis dosage is half strength compared to WA...
Is there a grown up table?
Start??
I'm way past starting.
