There you go then.

Audiophiles? What sort of recording engineers are these?

Now this looks like fantasy. Recording engineers will usually take care to produce an accurate recording but will deliver it in the form the customer wants. Why is modern pop music loud?

I think you may be living in an audiophile fantasy land.

True. Thankfully, a lot of the customers want to maximize the RE's talents and allow him to do a lot of the setup. Especially when, as in a couple of cases involving RE friends, the customer and the RE are one and the same company.

I forwarded your previous post to a couple of RE's I know, both personally and from their work. Both advised me not to argue with a nitwit and that the computer has an "off" button I should get to know. I usually listen to them, at least eventually. Sorry, but you do not know what you're talking about in this case. The experts in the field of sound and music recording have spoken. I can't argue with you anymore because it's as if you're arguing against 2+2 equaling 4.
They get pissy when people put false words into their mouths, just as they get pissy when I or anyone else tries to tell them their business. They don't seem to mind telling ME how to play the guitar, though! LOL!

I must congratulate you for an original reply. Do you think the audiophiles will believe it?
> I must congratulate you for an original reply. <
Thanks, but I can't take credit for it, as I was paraphrasing - but I'd say it was very close to direct quotes. I'll be happy to let the originators of the comments know, on your behalf.
> Do you think the audiophiles will believe it? <
Well, any that are RE's probably will. As for the others, there's no reason for them to believe what I post anymore than there's a reason for them to believe what you post. The only thing I really recommend to people regarding audio is to think for themselves, and try things out for themselves. There's enough misinformation on both the subjectivist and objectivist sides that taking anyone's word for anything is risky, especially around here.
The ones that make the best recordings.
Is that sort of like how the religious faithful have determined that the religious make the best religions?
Or those with superior perception have determined that those with superior perception have the best perception? Cool.

> Is that sort of like how the religious faithful have determined that the religious make the best religions?
Of course not. But your question certainly does tell us a lot about your perspective that you would not see the difference between assessing excellence in audio and assessing the merits fo religions.

When it comes to audio, do you have anything other than baggage? If it weren't for the fueds would you actually have any interest in audio?
Of course not
Why?
But your question certainly does tell us a lot about your perspective that you would not see the difference between assessing excellence in audio and assessing the merits fo religions
Excellence in audio according to who? Excellence as assessed how? Someones words of interpretation of sound? To be taken as gospel? Have faith?
When it comes to audio, do you have anything other than baggage
You mean like my portable radio? Sure, I have a couple home audio systems.
If it weren't for the fueds would you actually have any interest in audio?
What or who are the fueds? I do have an interest in foods, but I am not sure how that would correlate with audio.
BTW, how were those NFL games today on your analog TV? Completely absent of the harshness and grain of my digital set I imagine? Or does video perception not affect your condition?
cheers,
AJ

You really don't understand the difference between consumers passing judgement on consumer goods and people of a particular religious faith doing comparative surveys of all religions? that does explain a lot about your posts.

Once again your questions tell us more about you than anything else. Who do you think should evaluate excellence in audio and how should it be done? once again you seem to be confusing religion and consumer products.

You consider a couple porable radios to be home audio *systems* OK,,,,, That also adds some perspective to all your posts. You might want to look into upgrading. From your point it shouldn;t cost much nor should it be difficult to acomplish. you might even start hearing differences you you don't believe exist.

The most sure sign of an internet loser is finding personal victories in other peoples' typos. did you dance on the table in nothing but your stained underwear when you saw this golden opportunity to pounce? Must have felt real good huh?
> BTW, how were those NFL games today on your analog TV? >
My "analog TV?" didn't know there was such a thing as analog TVs and digital TVs. Did you mean CRT or tube monitor? I understand how words like analog and tube make guys like you see red.
> Completely absent of the harshness and grain of my digital set>
Difital grain of TV? what are you sniffing?
> I imagine? >
That about sums it up right there.
> Or does video perception not affect your condition? >
My condition? LOL

...I'm not above dancing on the table in stained undies from time to time.
"Am I boogying to a salsa dance,
or is that salsa on my underpants,
la la la scooby doo...."
P.S. I won't give up my day job... if I even have a day job.
Are you enjoying your speakers, you rat-fink so-and-so %#$%&^@&*$???? Hope so! I haven't seen any updates from you. How're they coming along?
Ha ha. I actually worked on them a bit today for an hour or two. Soon. Soon. I'm hoping for a working prototype by weeks end. At least one (close your eyes) that can be measured. With a generic DSP as xo. Daily evening rains have been killing me as my anechoic chamber looks a lot like my back yard.
The real McCoy uses a full blow computer, but that's close to 70% done now too. Sloooowwwly.
cheers,
AJ
