Yet, you want to dismiss thousands of years of emperical documentation of experiential research of the practice of acupuncture with a few lousy studies (non-asian) and a explanation of expectation bias!

What does a well constructed DBT or SBT actually tell you, ILikeMusic?

Ilikemusic, shouldn't you be going after dowsers and spoonbenders and other paranormal activity?  No magazine in this hobby performs carefully controlled blind tests of the type you propose.  Don't you know that?  Even if they did, it would be just plain silly since everyone knows that negative results of such tests are meaningless.  Don't you know that?  The Amazing Randi, the famous witchhunter, has made a career of devising carefully controlled blind tests with many trials that are so carefully controlled that no one can possibly pass them.  Isn't that really the type of test you have in mind?

The manufacturer is under no obligation whatsoever to provide proof of his claims - including mechanism of operation.  Hell, the manufacturer is not even under any obligation to provide an explanation of the mechanism of operation in the first place. Don't you know that? Even in patent law proof of mechanism of operation is not required. Besides, why would manufacturers care about satisfying the demands of a few skeptics or overly suspicious people out there?

1,000 years of bloodletting as the dominant paradigm, it must be effective.

This afternoon it's off to the phrenologist, then over to the 6,000th anniversay of the Flat earth Society....because, you know, a long tradition proves something works.

(By the way, I have nothing against accupuncture - if someone says they like it, fine. Just so long as they don't insist that everyone needs the same 'treatment' that they do to feel good. Thanks for helping prove my point!)

I've tried them, and tried to host demos of their efficacy - to no benefit ever being noted by anybody.

Next, check the number of replies to any threads about Art's typical columns.

The real winner here is Art!

(Although I consider the two columns to be stunt Hi Fi writing, not related to the actual hobby.)

Plus, Art will get even more column inches out of this in the future when he pulls his "I hate naysayers and drop stumps on them" column.

Art is in win/win country when he writes about this stuff! he gets more replies on this one topic than he normally gets in three years of the usual stuff.

Like I said, make it part of the May edition each year, since it arrives in April.

Of course I am making fun. This topic is solely about either the people who make fun of the hobby by trying to scam money from it, or of others making fun of the scammers.

The whole subject is making fun of something....for either side.

On the Celebrex thing - the joke was: "It actually does do something....and that thing is bad."

There are people, however, who still use Celebrex because they make an informed decision regarding risk and potential benefit. For some, it's the only thing that works for their problem - would you refuse to let them make that choice?

By the way. Beyond fish....Did you ever try to get your kid to eat cow shit or maggots?

Thomas Keller is a known Beltist.

It's not that his food is so good, it's that by schmearing a little "electret" creme under each table, it allows diners to turn off their tension mechanism and just taste the food better.

If you schmear some "electret" creme on your wine glass, it will not change the flavor of the wine, it will just beter enable you to fully taste the wine's flavor.

Same goes for books. Pick one you didn't like so much, the rub "electret" creme inside the cover and you will enjot the book better.

Oh, just how wrong can you be !!!!!   I only wish the techniques used would GLOW !!!!

 

THEN we would all be able to see just what might be glowing in YOUR room !!!

 

You haven’t a clue what might be going on, ILikeMusic, under your very nose !!!!

 

And yet you state, categorically, with such a sweeping statement, that “every single manufacturer” – “not a single one of them incorporates these tweaks into their products at assembly” when it is SO obvious that you CANNOT possibly know !!!!!

 

But I DO know !!!!   But, it is completely up to the manufacturer whether they wish to disclose such or not.

The PWB reviews i linked to included some blind tests.  Not up to Randi's "standards", nevertheless.

I did not see that coming.  Isn't it obvious that any test can result in negative results for any of a number of reasons, including failure to follow instructions, test subject's hearing not up to par, inexperience with listening tests and one or more problems with the test system.

Gee, that sounds just like the sort of test The Amazing Randi would propose - I.e., one that no human being has a snowball's chance in hell of passing.  But not because the device under test doesn't work, but because the test is inherently rigged.  That's precisely why The Amazing Randi has never had to cough up $1 Million.  And That's why Randi went after, uh, certain audio products, taking a break from the usual paranormal grind.  He didn't have to know anything about audio. He had the test wired.

As I expected, you don't even wait for the test to draw your conclusions.  Not very scientific of you, old bean.  Why do I have the nagging feeling that the "respected scientific forums" you have in mind are just as closed minded and dismissive as you?  

 

Ilikemusic wrote,

well, in fairness, the respected scientific forums you have in mind are most likely as dismissive and closed minded as you are.  Besides, talk's cheap - you yourself don't care to investigate it seriously, preferring instead to pontificate from the comfort of your easy chair.  Ah, the easy life of the pseudo skeptic.

Did you say that truism sentence because you thought it would be a killer line ?

 

Of course something like a strip of Foil would be visible, it is SOOOOO obvious it does not even need saying in a discussion between (or merely read by) intelligent people.

 

Let us now look at something INVISIBLE !!   Something which has been around in the world of audio for possibly 30 years.  The  Cryogenic Freezing technique.

 

I repeat my earlier sentence, ILikeMusic, :-

Quote:

>>> “You haven’t a clue what might be going on, ILikeMusic, under your very nose !!!!” <<<

 

Would you know, just from looking at different equipment, how many manufacturers of audio equipment cryogenically freeze the components and general bits and pieces before assembly ?

 

That technique is invisible !!   ONE of the techniques which is invisible !!

 

Another alternative technique would be if Nordost decided to produce their own LPs and CDs.   Would YOU know whether they had applied their ECO 3 liquid to the labels of the LPs and to the label side of the CDs ?   Or, would you know if they apply their ECO 3 liquid to the outer insulation of any of their cables ?

 

Yet another example would be if a producer of LPs and CDs and cables applied a demagnetiser to their LPs, CDs and cables before releasing them to the general public.

 

Just HOW visible do you think any of those techniques would be.

 

Nothing to do with “being able to SEE a strip of Foil” !!!

Regards,

May Belt.

Oh,, you mean like an amplifier?  That reminds me, we really should consider resurrectIng the thread on how small a device can be and still be effective.  I'm sure you'd get a big kick out if that one.  :-)

 

How much do tweaks cost?  Since you brought it up let's see, what do these things you're so worried about cost?

 

Pwb Rainbow Foil      About 30.00 for pack of 250 foils.

pwb Cream Electret.  About 30.00 for enough to last a year

intellgent chip, original.   16.00

Cryogenically treated CDs, LPs, cables, etc.   about 10.00 per lb.

High end fuses.   Prices start around 20.00

Photos in the Freezer Tweak.     free

Shun Mook Mpingo disc.    75.00, 30.00 on used market

machismo erotica

 

Hardly the stuff I speak of...if folk want to spend relatively small amounts of money for odd devices and bizarre creams, go for it. When they get $50 worth of parts in a sheet metal box for 4 significant figures, or a brass dinner gong for the same 4 figures, then yes, they have been swizzled. No one likes admitting they have fallen victim to quackery but many are.

My purpose in starting the thread was to note the very high statistical relationship between very high prices with very little actual manufacturing and the claimed effect. They almost always polish the device with claims that are simply untrue for 99% of the folk who might buy it. Too often the emperor is in fact naked.  I also decided to remind folk that, IMHO, a major purpose for a magazine that reviews stuff is to steer the reader clear of such junk.

Although some believe it is possible to polish a horse apple to a high shine, all one has, at the end of the process, is a shiny horse apple and a very dirty pair of hands.

You can say the same thing of Kellog's Corn Flakes or any marketing hype aimed at kids.

 

Exactly! The difference is, audio manufacturers design for adults. It is the stuff NOT marketed to adults but to children of all ages that are at issue. A ten year old would know better than to pay thousands for a device he knows only cost a few bucks.

JIMV,

What a great skit! Reminds me of those late, late nights listening to great programs of ground-breaking talent that used to be found on FM radio many years ago!

Now, unlike Cheech and Chong, none of the skeptics here have tasted, smelled, or even stepped in the dog shit to "know" that the Belt products are dog shit.... Yet, you've already made your pronouncements! All you've done is to register your opinions and your prejudices.

In "Law", one employs someone else's experiences in a parallel situation to make a judgement. In this case, the skeptics have already pre-judged Art Dudley's experiences with the products in question to be null and void.

JIMV, do you drive a Ford or a Chev? From my own past experiences with Ford vehicles, I thought I'd never drive a Ford again. But recent reviews of new products have me interested again. So does my experience with a Ford station wagon 20 years ago tell me that all of today's Ford products are dog shit? Of course not! At least not until I've smelled, tasted, and stepped in one...

Really? I don't know of too many 10 year olds or even adults who realize that a $6 box of cereal costs pennies to manufacture. And if they did know, does that stop them from making a purchase? Does your average 10 year old realize that their favorite brand name clothing apparel or sport shoe may be made in some sweat shop manned by laborers of the same age?

Do you know of anyone who was forced to buy a Ferrari? Even when they found out that the Ferrari had 4 wheels and had some of the same nuts and bolts as some cheaper brands?...
