Hi Tubeguy

I had the good fortune to have been invited to dinner by Don and Carolyn Davis while at a trade show in the 80’s. I got to sit at a table of Audio giants, Dick Heyser, Gene Patronis, Don and Carolyn Davis and others. Dick was a good friend of Don’s and a brilliant man, I said about 3 words other than responding to a few softball things Don pitched me.
I have used his TDS process (TEF machines) ever since and it is my main loudspeaker measuring tool and I am friends with the fellow who maintains the Heyser library. Dick’s insights about time is partly what has driven my time coherent speaker designs.

My point, I know for sure, none of those folks would tolerate and would be offended by the total nonsense which has crept into some audio product marketing.
All of these people were dead serious about what they heard AND measured, there livelihoods and reputations depended on it.
Like Dick said, measurements don’t tell you what you hear but would have likely added, your ears don’t always tell you what something is doing either and that can be very important when your developing something new.
Best,
Tom
