If it is understood to be not cognitively natural, then perhaps it follows that it isn't necessarily a 'Good' thing?
Maybe our brains will implode under the burden of knowledge as evolution struggles to repair the damage.
If cocaine is Class A, perhaps Knowledge should be A+
Schwarzenegger never lies.
If indeed we reach the end of the cognitive rope, it remains to be seen whether we will hang ourselves with it.
You could always join the 'DD and coke' cynics cult, if you find the former a bit extreme.....
No. That's the Mirror Image you're thinking of....

In which case, what you are looking for is possibly this:

I haven't the time to read this thread in its entirety. Could somebody give me a precis?

Precis. Everyone agreed:
- All CD players sound the same
- Cables don't make any difference
Something like that, anyway.

Ah, right. But that's utter nonsenseââ'¬Â¦
Sweepstake on who hits the 500 mark, anybody?
I offer a vinyl copy(seeing as all cd players sound the same
) of AC/DC's 'Back In Black' to the person who can pm me with the correct name. Couple of dinks on the cover but it plays fine - spice up your friday afternoon with a bit of a bet?

Its concerning the psyche of Limp Bizkit when forced to consider the Great Flood, the search for Mana, and its consequent Naiming.
There is no reason to suspect that the way in which these phenomena are connected makes any difference whatsoever to the passage of Chords through time.
That's basically how the Cookie crumbles.

a good read
Hi everyone , long time no speak
I,ve been without a computer for the last 5 months after mine decided to go into meltdown
I hope nobody minds me dragging this back into the limelight (I expect there,ll be a few groans ), but it was a good read and there were some really good responses from both camps .
I lost count of the number of times I changed sides
There were a few things I couldn,t help noticing though
The dreaded DBT
Now correct me if I,m wrong , but I have always been under the impression that the whole point of DBT,ing was that it proves that there is no difference in sound between kit and ancillaries.Ie , between Cdp,s and Cdp,s or amps and amps(even between tubes and solid state)etc , etc .
As an example isn,t there still the famous and ongoing challenge to spot the difference between your amp and another for a huge cash prize?
Now my point
Some of the biggest proponents of DBT,ing have said in this thread that they buy their kit through this process and have said that they can hear differences between different kit .
Are their tests corrupted ?
Now I know that all this hinges on my assumption that the whole point of DBT is that it proves that all kit sounds the same , so some clarification would be appreciated .
My other point is that a few of the DBT naysayers were challenged to conduct some DBT,s (on a number of occassions)to prove their "Golden lugholes" .
At least three accepted the challenge with the proviso that a DBT,er be present .
The Dbt,ers havn,t stepped forward , yet the other guys are still called chicken
Go figure .
So . I reckon a bit of clarification is needed here as well
On the whole though , it was a good read and I was impressed that the thread didn,t degenerate into the gutter .
Most laughs were supplied by Cookie monster but I,ve got a question for ya Cookie .
What,s that piece of crap in your signature? You really should get yourself some seperates mate
Nice to be back , bit please be gentle with me .
PS , good to see lots of new faces have appeared over the last few months or so

Re: a good read
Welcome back Kermit.
Nope, DBT doesn't assume everything sounds the same. It's designed to prove whether or not a listener can really hear differences, it doesn't assume differences must be imaginary, far from it. It's a testing methodology, nothing more.
As it happens, DBT is often expoused by people who do, in fact, claim that differences between CDPs and amps are marginal, but it doesn't require that belief.
