Go figure.
Hmm what is this called confirmation-bias also called cherry picking . This also happens in real science where researcher massage data and cherry pick results that supports what they already want to believe ? This can be involuntary too ! Hence the double blinding in some cases when subtle effects are studied . So measurements matters if they support audiophile folklore , if it doesn't it is tossed away . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
