Wow. I didn't remember that part of it all. That isn't good.Bingo. They didn't bother blinding because... well... that might not be a good part of the story.

Regarding the thread title - Things that cannot be measured - How about the gullibility of audiophiles.![]()
That's mostly because we lack a way of efficiently representing numbers that large.Regarding the thread title - Things that cannot be measured - How about the gullibility of audiophiles.![]()
I had Carver's amp at one time and a baby brother to the CJ. My listening was sighted as well, but I'm pretty sure they really sounded different. But I've no more to offer than one more anecdotal claim. I used them with ESL speakers and the output impedance would alter the response at least.Bingo. They didn't bother blinding because... well... that might not be a good part of the story.
aww, c'mon to the Dark Side*. All the cool kids R there.I didn’t want to go there...
I don't think this is the best idea, it eliminates all masking effects.

Although bizarrely, some tube fans on here prefer to ignore this fact and claim they do not like distortion. Must be the pixies then.
They even invented the whole idiotic source first paradigmofcourse they did as at the beginning they only had their record player and no other products .
With analog sources it had some kernel of truth in it but not driven to the extreme and especially not at all today with digital sources .
I enjoy it immensely. It sounds nice in the office and warms it up in winter. It also has important sentimental value. Hopefully my kids will appreciate it when one of them inherits it!
If someone asserts there is some mysterious quality beyond the measurement capabilities of state of the art laboratory audio gear, it is incumbent on that person to specify what that quality might be, how it impacts the listening experience (citing psycho-accoustic research), how it might be measured by a more complete process, and what would constitute a good measurement coming out of that more complete process.
I hadn't realised they were that dimensionally close. I remember one of my friends at Uni had one pre-Linn.The LP12 is basically a 'blue printed' Thorens TD150. The top plates are the same size (the 150 likes an LP12 plinth by the way) and at one time, the platters were almost interchangeable...
And a peace prize for ending the cable wars.They may even have Nobel price coming for a revolution in physics as these things are not present in the electrical signal![]()
