Hi, Later

1st: JJ isn't John Curl afaik.

2nd : use of "<<< >>>" syntax for quotings is dangerous:
html hides text between less-sign and more-sign.

3rd: I restored your quotes via view->page source,
using *safe* >>quote<< syntax:

************** BEGIN **************

Hi there,

Not get in on this little personal feud here, but think JJ (John Curl I belive) said something VERY important....

>>Ergo, even citing "distortion" figures is misleading as they have nearly no meaning to the human ear, <<

My contention for ages.

>>Yup, or how about a Noise-loading test result

(Noise loading test - AKA BBC-TesT passes a bandwidh-limited and comb-filtered spectrum through the Item under test - any difference in spectrum between Input and output of the Device under test MUST be added by the Device tested and hence constitutes DISTORTION, though it lumps HD, IMD and noise together....)

>>One of the reason that tweaks flourish, I think, is that most of the "standard" audio measurements are, shall we say, less than revealing at the very best. <<

Another good one.... Now could someone please include these comments in an Article in Stereo-Review?

Later Thorsten

*************** END ***************
