When I registered here and I read many posts in WBF then I found audio thinking of David @ddk is very different. His knowledge and experience is so much more than most other members.
after awhile David left here and I am so sorry he is not here to answer the questions.
Some members try to post...
I think you and Kedar both like off-topic. who asked you (and Kedar) to share your ideas about me?
this topic is about audio critique and if you have any answer or any critic please share, if not please leave here.
if I start to judge you and Kedar I can do that but this forum is not a place for...
Peter, David is an expert and I am so sorry he is not here to share his information to us. I like his audio thinking and I regard his valid experience. thank you for sharing your experience.
what I say is some audiophiles believe "the subjective experience is relative to listener so all audio...

If you check my posts in WBF and other forums you will realize that I like peace and respect and I have no interest to bother anybody. this hobby is fun for all of us and no need to war.
you can check my conversation with some members like bonzo, microstrip, AI M, Carlos269, Argonaut and...
There are more examples,
AC filters may impress the listener but in comparison by contrast method you easily find the AC filters decrease the contrast (in a reference system).
Some speakers tend to highlight HF more to impress audiophiles and give them feeling of more transparency but these...
Dear Peter,
Actually Y is allways smaller than X because every type of coloration or distortion hide/destroy the information. Some changes like frequency phase changes can add overshoot to the signal in time domain or some components like silver cable can add brightness in a system in these type...
Does the “comparison by contrast” method close this chapter? No
Comparison by contrast is the first step in audio judgment and it is the necessary condition.
sometimes we hear overally equal contrast but the presentation is different. In this step the music type could play a role.
The key is in...
How this method (comparison by contrast) works?
In electronics we can use mathematics for showing signal transfer between point A to B.
Every signal could be modeled by information (for example converting to digital information) .
for example one minutes of the music signal could be shown by X ...
I liked the sound of Living Voice OBX-RW and my friend liked the sound of Gryphon trident but both of us agreed the Living Voice clearly shows more contrast than gryphon.
This comparison method is independent to any listener.
Why the “comparison by contrast” method is the right way to judge a component in subjective mode?
As you know objectivist claim the objective method (electronics/acoustics measurements) is scientific and also is independent to listeners and every subjective experience is dependent to listener...
I recommended him to use peter method (comparison by contrast) for comparison between Gryphon and Living Voice and we compared a CD album to a Vinyl (same album) with two loudspeakers.
Living Voice easily showed more contrast between CD and Vinyl and I told him as you see the Living Voice...
Let me give you an example:
My friend has a big expensive 3way speaker (gryphon trident €80,000).
He also has a small 2way paper driver speaker (Living voice OBX-RW $12000).
He told me Gryphon trident is far better than Living voice in midrange and most audiophiles also believes the gryphon...
What Peter think is “a better audio device/system can reveal more contrast between records” or in the other words when you change a cable (for example) in a better audio system you will hear more contrast between cables.
More contrast means the system has less coloration (in subjective term not...
I think method of “comparison by contrast” is the necessary condition for evaluating a component in first step.
The second step will be considering listening experience in long term.
I will back you soon
