In Reply to: RE: Some further thoughts on ends posted by unclestu on May 09, 2014 at 23:44:25
She tried things and found things that worked.
Instead of pontificating about what won't work without even giving it a try she was in the vanguard of thinking about how things worked and coming up with ways to make them work better.
I use her thinking process every time I do anything to a component in my system.
She, like me, did not have unlimited funds to join the component of the month club so she made what she had sound as good as it could.
I loved it when she combined forces with Peter Moncrief who had a great ability describing what should happen with audio components.
I think I had heard she died - but I cannot vouch. Either way her ideas are alive and her efforts missed.

Duster. Unclestu made the comment ""Of course that was quite a while back and she unfortunately was sort of laughed out of the Audio business." Confirming that the reason why Enid stopped writing and being involved in audio was "unfortunately because she was laughed out of the Audio business".
And yet, Norman M continued with the "laughing" !!!! As though it had been quite an acceptable approach back then and there was nothing wrong with carrying on with it now.
Unclestu was actually making the point that Enid has so many times been shown to be right with her descriptions of "Gremlins in the listening environment". Unclestu actually apologised to Enid for laughing at her back then !!!!
Yes. I do challenge people's point of view if I find it unworthy. I didn't see a smily face or an attempt at a smiley face at the end of Norman M's comment. And I usually explain why I am taking the trouble to challenge.
Seriously, Duster, IF positioning the water faucet N/S, E/W and positions in between and in doing so it gave differences in the sound, then for someone involved in seriously listening it WAS significant and WAS worth reporting, because it pointed to something 'going on' in the listening environment !!
Some 30 years on from Enid writing what she was writing Unclestu knows as well as I do just what is NOT now "outrageously funny" (laughable) !!! And this is presumably why he offered his apologies to her retrospectively.
I never challenge Unclestu's listening experiences. What I do challenge are many of his interpretations as to WHY the sound changes after he has done what he has done !!
Jon Risch is correct in his :-
> > > "What if changing the direction of the faucet arm did ACTUALLY CHANGE THINGS?" < < <
Is such as Norman M with his :-
> > > " I would have concluded that my head/ears weren't precisely in the same position each time, or I was mistaken and try to forget about it, (but definitely not have it written up in TAS). " < < <
Suggesting that Enid should have kept silent about what she could 'hear', even though that was exactly what she, as an audio journalist, was all about ??

Show a little respect and don't quote a deleted AA post. You should know better than to quote a retraction.
