Let me invite everyone reading this thread to respond to the following
questions:


Do people think that what I have been saying is unclear and that I am
at fault for this? (No need for Andy or porky to answer this as their
views already seem apparent, but I'd be interested in what others may
say.)

As as specific example: Do people not see the distinction I make between
'evidence' and 'proof'?

Hi Jim,

I see that you are asking for evidence, which is something I would require
of people if trying to get away from the subjective interpretations that
people often present. I don't have any issues with your approach at all.

I see too many intangibles surrounding "high end" audio and too many people
who seem to be chasing audio nirvana giving credence to any statement
suggesting *this upgrade* will give an improvement. You only have to look at
the devices being sold to keep your speaker cables off the floor. When a
significant portion of the population is prepared to buy snake oil you
cannot accept at face value what that portion of the population may say
about anything. I think maybe you *should* be asking for proof.
