Fantastic free CD / LP tweak!

Steve,

After reading the inane drivel (I wouldn't give it credence by calling it insults) he wrote to you on the PB headphones thread, it was quite obvious that the guy had lost the plot and so needed to go...

Like I said, enough is enough!

Marco.

in real life i recon paul has very little to say for him self... i have never seen such a bombardment of text on a forum... who does he think is going to read any of it?! ah well.... i think its a shame, from what neil says there is, something in his methods even if it wasnt for pauls crazy preacher like jabbering it might have been quite interesting.....
i find it odd that he doesnt see how off putting he is being the way he is...

Okay

My final test.

Simon came round to visit and after letting the system warm up and talking about all sorts of stuff I asked him if he would give me an opinion on the sound of the Patricia Barbour track Lord let it rain. I played it with no "IF" Device in the room. I then went and got the Pad "IF" device, I placed it under the chair in the room after making some noise at the system end of the room (to fake that I was doing something, I did this each time we did the experiment). I then removed it and replaced it with an "IF Device I made this afternoon following Paul's revised instructions this was in a David Bowie Cd Tonight. I at no stage primed Simon for any thing other than an opinion of how the track sounded I played only 1 minute approx at any time.

Simon identified a difference between the first play and the second. He said that the second play sounded the same as the third but preferred how my system sounded with out the "IF" Devices in the room i.e the track as it sounded with no device in the room.

We tried it again and he was less sure so we took a slight break at the end of which we tried again with only the new "IF" Device in use. This time Simon preferred the sound of my system with this Device in place and felt it was less good without the Device in the room.

When I asked him to describe what he heard he described exactly what Paul felt the improvements should be. While he changed his opinion as to what he preferred he did describe the effect and further more got it right each time the Device was used, in so much as he heard a change in the sound.

When I revealed to him what it was I had done he did not laugh and want to book me or himself into the funny farm.

I am sorry guys but I am not easily duped or a victim of auto suggestion, but I do have a theory as to how this works, but I wont be sharing it...sorry. I have destroyed the Devices and will not be using there like again. So for me I am out of this one as a participant. If you want to have ago, go ahead...but not on the basis of what I experienced.

Interestingly while I sat of axis I could hear what Simon heard....he described it perfectly as I heard it.

Any future participation in this thread will only be in my role as a mod nothing more or less.

i was wondering if you would come to that eventual conclusion...

Hi Neil, are you sure you are not going to tell us what you think the mechanism is behind the devices you used? I am very intrigued now, and having met you I know you are of sound mind and not easily led.

I am sure it would help :)

For me this experiment is now over.

When Marco signed off for the night last night & this psycho was knocking out 10 page essay's at the rate of knotts , i thought 'o no, holy mother of god'!

To be honest i had not a single intention of reading any of those posts.

it must have taken ages to write all that... just for it not to be read! in a way you gotta feel sorry for the guy, hes obviously really pasionate about it all but is so lacking ability to talk to people on a human level he is never gonna get any ferther than just iritating people and ferther alienating everyone from his ideas.
hes really reminded me of one of those street preachers that tells you that you are distined for hell if you dont repent etc... i got no issues with people who have that (or any other opinion) but are they so blind they cant see that their methods do nothing but the oposite of what they intend?!

Dead right, and just like most street preachers he really is manic (:doh:) been thinking for a while he was becoming less and less rational and last nights outpourings just confirmed it. He accused someone else of being bipolar but it really does look as though he is drifting into a psychotic episode of some sort, great shame, wouldn't wish that sort of emotional turmoil on anybody.
Still just as well he is booted off here, people in that condition only ever cause trouble, must dash, me quantum clips need straightening:lol:.
