Hmmmm.... Hold your horses there buddy in terms of bringing up the Regen -yet again- and your presumptions about the "objectivist response". 1. Given unclear rationale for the need of this Regen device, scepticism is warranted. The manufacturer provides no evidence of efficacy (we can wait for jkeny's claim that UpTone is working on this). The theory behind its operation appears unlikely to affect audio output. Therefore, plenty to be suspicious about - as much as suspicion around the need for $1000+ ethernet cables. 2. I have proposed a way to test objectively and subjectively with sighted and unsighted subjects who are "more subjectivist" than myself in the other thread regarding this Regen device. I'm waiting for jkeny to see if he can arrange this device to send to me for evaluation. He knows my address. I believe I've been open-minded in this response than subjectivists who "just believe" with no evidence of questioning their own perceptual ability. Please then, I/we have asked you time and again to explain why you believe in what you believe. Whether small buffers are better, or why OS makes a difference. -You have not once discussed your method of discerning differences- or how you reach the level of certainty in these effects you openly speak of and criticize others for not having "faith" in. Do you reach these conclusions with sighted listening? Do you do blinded listening? What experiments have you done? Do you measure these changes - if so please show us your results. Do not blame others of closed-mindedness until you speak of your methods in ascertaining truth; because obviously your results are -very different- from mine. I have laid my case on the blog and anyone is free to verify or disprove. Feel free to refute with evidence and I will happily listen. Finger pointing and insinuations I'm afraid has little chance of convincing anyone, especially around here.
