This is a little like the arguements I have with 16 year old students who are incapable of following a line of reasoning, and then go back and selectivly alter what was said when they paint themselves into a corner. Go back and READ the thread.
There was NEVER any mention of the "resolution" vs "accuracy" arguement , which is a whole diffenent and legitimate debate. I never once even used the word resolution nor did Chris attack the concept.What happened was:
-I made a comment about running an amp direct.
-Chris gave me some relatively novice advice, as a "warning". (who's condescending?)
-I responded with some, not neccesarily perfect, but at least logical, evidence of the validity of my approach.
-SOMEONE COMPIMENTED ME ON THE POST at which point....
-Chris felt it neccessary to step in, presumably to put me in my place, and pointed out that that a system, that demonstrates the variations in recordings I cited, is nothing more than consistent.(again who's condescending?)
-I curtly try to clarify some points since it appears Chris has missed the essential concept (now I'm getting annoyed)
-Chris fires back that I'm a know it all and....
-I decide I'm wasting my time dealing with this on an intellectual level.
-Blah, blah, blah, blah....
Going back to my comment about 16 year olds who can't follow a line of reasoning and then have selective memory about how the conversation developed. Who exactly is the juvenile here.
Since you mention comparison to live I had an direct experience with Thiel which put their testing gear in it's place. Described under a thread at DVD Audiobahn titled: "Now that you mention Thiel"
