Well I don't really see myself as being on a side Drizt TBH. I am not a big fan of people that simply want to argue and don't really understand the subject that they are arguing about. Since you mention it though in this circumstance yes I feel I am right. This stuff (electrical engineering, specialising in E3) is my bread and butter so I feel pretty comfortable about what I know, and pretty sure of what some of the posters in that thread don't. I was attempting to help people understand and was having people (that freely admit they are not experts in this field) tell me that I was incorrect, had no electrical engineering theory to support me, and lacked perspective..... What conclusion would you draw if we were discussing something in your professional scope??
I have no problem with other people conducting blind testing on power cables. Indeed I am so sure about what I'm saying I would happily provide a demonstration myself and/or supply some of my own cables. I just don't wish to participate myself. As I explained in that thread I don't share your faith in blind testing when it comes to audio applications, I have developed my own way of evaluating system changes, a method that I am comfortable with and believe works for me. Unfortunately people like you are convinced that because this is not blind it is compromised by bias, and refuse to accept that there isn't some sinsiter, calculated reason for not wanting to participate in blind testing. I say if you want to conduct blind testing on anything then go right ahead, indeed I don't care one iota what you do, how you do it or what conclusions you draw.....I have no idea why I can't be granted the same courtesy.
