But this isn't about possibility. Anything is possible (trivial formal statements aside); therefore possibility is totally uninteresting. What matters in the real world is not possibility, it's plausibility and the relative likelihood of different explanations. At least for my part, the point is simply that there is an extremely plausible and likely explanation for these observed differences; namely psychology. Sometimes there is another plausible explanation as well (measurable harmonic distortion, say) and it isn't easy to choose one over the other without more data, and sometimes there isn't another (as in the case of ebony hockey pucks). Obviously how plausible something is requires a judgement call - that's life. One way to judge it is to ask the opinion of experts, meaning scientific researchers in that field without a financial interest in the answer, another is to learn something about the physics involved and draw your own conclusions. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32352 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
