Ever wonder who first uttered the dreaded words “Blind Testing” in the audiophile community? Of more importance is who will be the last person to mention this same topic in a audiophile discussion?
Unfortunately we will never know who is the first, and it is unlikely we will ever see the last. There is a very good reason why the blind testing idea will never go away - it is a defense raised only for argument’s sake only. And it is a brutally efficient defense at shutting down or degrading any audiophile discussion.
The case for Blind testing is a trolling technique and has nothing to do with Science.
The guy who first discovered this trolling technique has set the audiophile community back so much. Instead of sharing and discussing the love and power of music, we ended up in a broken community where people are split into various factions.
And this blind testing a myth!
It really is.
Isn’t Snakeoil OS released in the form of a firmwares? Indeed it is. I’m pawned for shipping something that is incomplete. In my defense Snakeoil OS is a one man operation. It is extremely difficult to do this alone, try brainstorming with yourself on what to do next. Ergo have to get Snakeoil out there, get you people involved in sending me feedback will help improve the whole experience of Snakeoil OS. There are still a lot of things in the pipeline for Snakeoil which I hope will be realised in time.
