But after he spent that money, I¡¯m sure he would say it had whether or not it did !!
Years ago Bob Carver said to Stereophile Magazine that his $400 amplifiers couldn¡¯t be distinguished from the $6,000 per pair ones the ¡°golden ears¡± said were superior.?
He took one amplifier of each type the ¡°golden ears¡± said were superior for a day while staying at a motel in Santa Fe, NM.
Adjusting his amplifiers to track the exact frequency response of the ¡°golden¡± amplifiers he set them up for a Stereophile ¡°golden ears¡± test.
The ¡°golden ears¡± couldn¡¯t tell which was which, which was very disconcerting.
And so as the story goes he was banned from advertising his amplifiers in Stereophile.
There¡¯s a lot of money to be made selling mystique !!
