Sorry to say that the article appeared in the July/August 2007 issue. Nonreality;328090 Wrote: > And off we go! I take your comment to mean that the audiophiles would be all up in arms about over this article. After all the article is filled with transgressions against the standard audiophile dogma: lossy compressed audio sounding better than full resolution audio and losslessly compressed audio, and several mentions of double blind testing. Let me throw the ball back into your court. Audiophiles are often derided for not believing in measurements, two classic examples of this are 1) the love of analog over digital since on paper and via test measurements digital as some very clear advantages over analog (signal to noise ratio, no generational losses, etc) and 2) the love of tube electronics when solid state electronics have much better test measurements. Now in the case of audiophiles preferring uncompressed or losslessly compressed audio over lossy compressed audio, where the superiority of uncompressed or losslessly compressed audio has been proven over and over by measurement, the audiophiles are once again being taken to task. My question to you, Mr. Nonreality, is why is this happening? Audiophiles are criticized for not believing in measurements but then when they do believe in measurements they are laughed at? After all, along with double blind testing, measurements are the twin pillars of the objectivist's own dogma.
