Hey Rick,

They are all valid points. My point was simply that earth shattering scientific discoveries are not being generated within the hifi industry.

Whether trying to understand and improve the home audio experience is a noble cause or not is another matter!!! :) (You, me, and other audiophile loonies agree, but others may call us crazy - and to some extent they just might be correct. But yes, I also agree it’s a noble cause and am very thankful for guys like Kevin Hayes, Joe Curcio, etc)

There is great ENGINEERING being done within the HiFi industry, and let's give credit for that. But with VERY few exceptions, that engineering work is based on existing science. (Those very few exceptions are discussed at length within this forum)

I do not believe it is creditable to say that new scientific frontiers are being discovered within the audio industry. I would also bet that if you asked the any of the key industry players/designers/manufactures/engineers within the community they would tend to agree. With the exception of Clark, who I think only he himself would classify as a "key" industry player - most of these guys would classify themselves as Engineers - not scientist.

I actually don't disagree with you Rick. Where I depart is when folks start comparing the work of Einstein, Pasteur, etc, etc to the work being done in the HiFi industry. It's just silly in my opinion. It’s a matter of perspective for me and let’s just face it – making our stereo’s sound 3% better is not going to get us any closer toward being able to travel to Mars and back.
