Hi there,

I have a degree in Electronics. I have worked for a long time in Pro-Audio. I have a fairly decent working understanding of Audio, the way works, how human hearing and perception interact with equipments charateristics and such.

I find it usually extremely difficult to talk to people who approach the whole thing purely from the technical view and who belive that the current approaches to quntifying technical perfomance of equipment have any correlation to "how it will sound".

I find it easier to talk to people who will say "this sounds good and this doesn't" while being fully ignorant of technicalities than with people who believe the extremely reductionist "modern" view of audio and the measuremnts produced on this background have any meaning....

Later Thorsten

PS.: My favourite line(s) in such situations: "Those who think they know it all really piss off those of us who do." ;-) ) Or as they said in the old days: "A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing."
