You intrigue me. Who are these computer operating system OEMs that are bigger than Microsoft, Apple or the various flavors of Linux?

Who said anything about bigger operating "systems" ?I was just relaying my feelings about the "OS" that you mentioned. I think the problem with PC Audio in general is that there seems to be a misguided view that "Software" alone raises Audio reproduction levels appreciably enough.
It may in fact do that if your talking in terms of PC Audio,but you still
have to address the "PC level" of Audio performance coming from a non "Audio" piece of equipment !There's a reason that some "Dedicated" Audio equipment performs at a higher level than other 'Like' equipment. It's called "Function following
Form"I look at my Computer as a great "Audio Tool" that gives the music I listen to more flexibility than I've ever had before (regardless of the
less then stellar production values that are quite often assigned to good recordings). For myself it's nothing more or less.

You have zero idea what he was even talking about!!! LOL
You don't even know that AUDIO RESEARCH is a manufacture of audio equipment. Who is Bill Johnson? How about Jim Winey? How do they know each other? Ever have a conversation with either one? This is what is so insulting!!! You have never heard an SP3, SP6, D76, D150... etc... What is a Tympani IIIA? You don't have the slightest idea what they are. What is a 12AX7? 6DJ8? 6550? MOSFET? do you have any? You actually have zero interest in audio!
Yes, all of the wonderful toys of my early audio days. I had an SP3a1 and an SP6 and many more AR preamps and amps. I had the Tympani speakers. I had big subwoofers with those babies. And a box full of 12AX7 and 6DJ8 tubes.
Brings back great memories. :) One of the most amazing systems I ever heard was the full Tympani system tri-amped with D76As in the back room of Lyric Hi-Fi.
When SteveA mentions "Audio Research" The troll continues on about big computer companies. As you said why in the world would any large company be interested in a handful of audiophiles? The entire concept is stupid! Mass market lo-fi/mid-fi is the norm, and will continue to be the norm.
I biamped the Tympani and a pair of large RH Labs sub woofers connected to the 3rd stereo amps. I remember having a Luxman 3-way tubed crossover.
Stuff was far more affordable in those days.
Well with inflation, still not cheap in today's $$. That had to be a great system! :)
I still have an Audio Research EC4 crossover somewhere in the closet, and a pair of Janis subs packed away. :)
In Lyric Mike Kay had them with the Tympani bass panels and he also had a custom transmission line coffin sub woofer using KEF B139s. Very nice stuff. I also liked the big Fulton system.
The good ole days indeed!
Actually, though I've never met Bill Johnson, I have had some of his gear in some of my systems over the years. I know who AR is also, and I don't mean the speaker company. I have actually spoken with Jim Winey in person and again have owned some of his speakers.
Bob_C, with you I don't even know where to begin. You keep assuming things for which there are no foundations. I post a system in my profile, and you think that it is the only system I own or have ever owned. I recommend a product, and you get it into your nut that I must be an employee of and posting under the personal direction of the owner of the company that makes the product. It makes me weary just thinking of all the windmills you must tilt at in the course of one of your days.
Have you had your blood pressure checked recently?

Your affiliation with JRiver is already known.
SteveA is talking audio companies and you are asking about "large computer companies"... Just stop wasting honest peoples time...
So you own or have owned various equipment??? Does it, did it all sound the same???
