In all honesty - 1) because you incessantly repeat the same diatribe about the audio press. Ok. We get it. It's not that big a deal, and nobody else really cares. Audio magazines are about advertising, and advertorials for the most part. Same goes for auto mags. And fashion. Watches. Cigars. Travel. Home furnishings. Who really gives a damn? You whinge on about this as if it's some profound truism, or as if you're revealing who was behind the grassy knoll. Give it a rest. 2) because you come first to mind (I don't really know why) regarding the constant sneering at audiophiles. I could easily substitute any of the others in your little gang, but I can't be bothered. I memorized your name, so you'll do. This behaviour comes across as a pathology - you protest too much and as such I would wager there's some dark little secret that compels you to do this. It's pathetic. Further, you (and this could be the royal -you-) harp on about established science, as if you're a -scientist!- But you take this one little corner - ABX etc - and trot it out as if it's the final, proven, de facto physical law that proves - -proves- I say - that there is no difference between a 90's era CD player and state of the art digital from the present day (or any other such -no difference- mantra - take your pick). A real scientist - someone who's actually interested in getting to the truth rather than furthering an agenda - would look at the situation and say "well, they swear that they're hearing a difference, and ABX doesn't reveal it. Let's try something else." What that something else is - I have no idea. I don't have enough skin in the game to spend time digging it out. But you blather on about pseudoscience all the while ignoring true scientific method. Will that do?
