Are you a Verificationist about audio?


A Verificationist about audio believes that...

A statement about audio is valid ONLY IF it can be verified, and it can be verified ONLY IF there is some finite, repeatable, public procedure for determining whether it is true or false.

Verificationism is a major ideological division on Audiogon, particularly on topics relating to cables, power accessories, and miscellaneous tweaks. Verificationists argue that, if a statement about cable x, power outlet y, or tweak z cannot be verified, then the statement is not valid. Anti-verificationists argue that, if they themselves hear a difference between item x and item y, then that is sufficient to make statements about those items valid.

Wow Bryon. I am not to smart and you explained something that I could understand and appreciate. Regarding certainty and truth. Really appreciated that. It was also thoughtful, not condescending. Thanks Bryon for sharing that well thought out explanation in laymen's terms. I always appreciate your posts even though I am still confused about fuses.
