Jon Risch: RESIGN

The equalizer comment did not help. Any system that depends on an equalizer to sound good (your own words), is not going to be set-up very well, or have a high amount of resolving power. I say this based on my years of expereince with many different systems, different acoustics, etc. Many other audiophiles and music lovers out there are also going to have the same feelings, based on THEIR experiences and journey's through the home audio playback minefield. If an EQ is NECESSARY, then something is not 100% optimized.

Also, in so many cases, the addition of an EQ, with it's additional circuitry, phase shifts, etc. is NOT going to help in terms of total system resolving power, adding an EQ to the circuit path is NOT going to help clarity and low level details. Again, this is based on years and years of first hand experience. In the pro arena, EQ's are considered a necessity to achieve some semblance of desirable system response, and then a necessary evil at that.

How shamelessly hypocritical can you get, Jon?

The whole point of the DBT-Free Zone policy is to prevent intolerance of people's SUBJECTIVE PREFERENCES by being challenged using OBJECTIVE CRITERIA!

Yet here you are challenging Jitter's SUBJECTIVE PREFERENCES using OBJECTIVE CRITERIA! Christ, what next? Are you going to challenge him to take a double blind test in order to substantiate his SUBJECTIVE PREFERENCE!?

WHAT A !@#$% HYPOCRITE YOU ARE, JON!

WHO CARES IF HE'S USING AN EQUALIZER!? What if he were using a zero feedback SET amplifier? Would you be harrassing him about its gross distortions? It's exceedingly high output impedance? Would you tell him something else must not be 100% optimized because he has to resort to using a zero feedback SET amplifier to achieve SUBJECTIVE SATISFACTION!?!?!

What if he's using a Cello Audio Palette equalizer? Or one of the TacT units? Would he still be the subject of such ridicule?

This is an absolutely disgusting display of sheer spiteful, hypocritical intolerance. I don't believe you should be allowed to hold any position of enforcing the rules here.

RESIGN!
