The Intellectual People Podcast - Galen Gareis (Former Belden Wire Designer)

Well when doug and dltech start sparring I dont know how much more fun this could be. An armchair dilettante or a self-styled audio journalist who writes for anyone who might possibly listen. The hubris on both sides is worth 10 times the price of admission. Both of you guys need to chill and stop taking yourselves so seriously. Blind listening........system building......blah blah blah pfffft!

I always thought Douglas is a honest, down to earth guy. Not just his reviews, but personal interaction (here and other places) as well.
As for your “armchair dilettante” comment on the other guy, I fully agree. It’s the age of the Internets. I have read so many replies from these #measurementmorons types, I can practically write what they say automatically without even thinking. It’s just the same stuff they say over and over and over. It’s like in autopilot. I can honestly predict with 100% accuracy their replies to me, before I say something. It’s hilarious

15, do I hear 15? Going once, going twice, sold!

If you had to go “special” might as well go all in special. What have you got?

dletch2:
"If a single cable, replaced anywhere in the signal chain provides no audible difference when using actual critical listening testing, with attempts to remove bias, then replacing the whole loom is not going to either."

Where is the "science" in that statement dletch2? Is this a new type of science where there is no need to test your conclusion? 

thyname:
Your assessment of Doug is spot on. He is (& has been) active in advancing high end audio & an asset to this site.
