Is positive reinforcement why things are sounding better?

you came uninvited for example in the thread "the mystery of sound is mysticism " where you never posted any positive contribution expressely to derail the thread with sarcasms

@mahgister , alluding to that particular thread: Audiogon Management sent me my invitation via certified mail; they did not provide a list of everyone else who they invited, so if the invitation you received was in the same format as mine was, you would not have known that I was also on the list. And you are mistaken; the only two (quite short) posts that I made as I was following that debacle were not intended to be the least bit sarcastic--I was serious.

To the topic of this thread: confirmation bias, as it relates to audio, involves telling one’s self that one is hearing something that one is not actually hearing. Basically lying to one’s self.

All people participating in good faith  are invited "de facto" to any thread...For sure...This is a common place acepted fact ..

Save trolls viruses who harass someone and did not contribute in any way with positive content and argument to the thread...As you did...they are not welcome by anybody ...

Anybody can verify what i said about your behaviour consulting the thread last 2 pages "the mystery of sound is mysticism"...😊 They will see your "contribution" ...

Not ashamed? 😊

You are so confused here :

I will not even answer. It seems you are unable to read any scientific article or even a wikipedia page about a concept as clearly defined ..

I will not even answer.

That would be best, since you would be unable to refute it.

As I typed previously:  there was no sarcasm intended--I was serious.

How do you call your postings in a serious thread about an information important for all of us ?

I get it! You were not sarcastic no, if i judge by your understanding of the concept of confirmation bias, you certainly cannot understand the articles about acoustic revolution in the making, no, you really think that i must go to an asylum for nuts ...

Then you were merely harassing a fool with no sarcasm intended... Just the fun of it... I get it...

Enjoy the evening...

Would it not be illogical to buy a speaker that I did not like to hear?

It would not be logical to buy a speaker that you did not like the sound of, unless for whatever reason you were able to convince yourself that you did like the way it sounded.
