Quote from: ScottMayoI'm perfectly willing to do the same kind of deal here, as I offered on the Isoclean fuse -...did you ever do a test of the fuses?
I have a tweak that's only 250.00 dollars and will bet a 1,000.00 dollars cash I can tell the difference at least close to 100% of the time if not 100%, double blind standing on my head. Not only that at minimum 80% of listeners will agree that the system sounds better with the tweak in than with it out of the system.
I figure it's a self-selecting system. If there's a tweak out there that really works, enough people will be convinced of it that someone will take one of my challanges, and then I'll learn something. Losing a wager like that is small dollars to pay for an education. icon_biggrin.gif And the tweaks that don't work, well, clearly no one's going to step up to the plate over one of those, right?
Me, I don't buy products based solely on a challenge to "buy first, judge later" or flowery and poetic reviews.
I don't get this bit. You seem to think that it's everybody else's responsibility to prove something to *you*.
You certainly did! And without ever having heard the thing.
Anyone who sits down and tries to tell me "X is good", takes on the burden of proof as far as I'm concerned. That's what happens when you write an opinion down for all to read. It becomes a claim. I'm from Missouri, in the spiritual sense. Show me. Or your credibility is zero in my book.
"People, you need to hear the RM/x before you buy anything in the $10,000 plus range"...

So every time you say "I think X is good" everyone else is entitled to demand that you prove it, using whatever measures or tests they deem appropriate?
The "reviews" of the IC are the last nail in the coffin of credibility for "professional" reviewers.
Charalatans.
Neither do I (any more), and in my own opinion the "reviews" of the IC are the last nail in the coffin of credibility for "professional" reviewers. But that doesn't mean that anyone who bought it has to prove to Scott Mayo that he (or they, you never know) are right.
You don't get any points by heaping scorn on a person offering to do a test, you know.
That's what I'm offering to do, try the frikkin' thing. Under conditions that make "trying" unequivocally fair and honest.
It's funny how some people get ad hominem when you mention real testing.
We'll use my RM/x - even if VMPS isn't your cup of tea.
If I prove something to my own satisfaction and report that fact, why must I be constrained to prove it to others? Let them do their own work! I don't care what they think. Let them remain in blissful ignorance. clark

All over the Net -- Audio Asylum, Audiogon, HDVA -- there are guys like that. I don't get it.
