I have no problem with the opinions of others. I do have a problem
with arrogant clowns who state their opinions as fact, and refuse to
test the veracity of those opinions.

You are of course confusing the stating of opinions as fact. For example:

Fact: Using the equipment I currently have, when I switch from Gale
XL-185 to Audio Innovations Silver Bi-Wire, I hear an improvement.

Nope, that's just an opinion, and has no basis in fact. Try it again
when you don't *know* what's connected.

Fact: When I upgrade to an even better cable (Chord Company Rumour 4) I
hear another big improvement.

Nope, that's just an opinion, and has no basis in fact. Try it again
when you don't *know* what's connected.

Opinion: Therefore, based on my observations above, a better cable will
improve the sound.

Or how about something a little closer to home...

Fact: Stewart Pinkerton is a highly abusive and unpleasant individual.

Depends on the circumstances, but certainly true when dealing with
arrogant and ignorant clowns like you.

Opinion: Stewart Pinkerton is a complete tosser.

Everyone has an opinion, along with other attributes, equally smelly
in your case.

In both the above examples, the "fact" section is based on actual
observations. In the first example, I heard a difference between cables
- this is an unquestionable fact, regardless of the actual mechanism
behind hearing the difference. It doesn't matter if it was
"psychological", I still heard a difference. Therefore, based on these
observations, I formed the opinion that cables do affect the sound.

Actually, you just *imagined* that you heard a difference.

In the second example, I've witnessed you being unpleasant and highly
abusive to many participants on this group. Based on this, I formed the
opinion that you are a complete tosser.

Another example of your inability to think logically.

So your knowledge of the English language is clearly about as poor as
your knowledge of IT or audio. You are proving yourself to be more of a
fool the more you continue.

Another perfect example of projection.........
