Morricab....you are not listening.

"I am a scientist"

If you are a scientist and you applied your scientific training to the understanding of the problem of sound recording and reproduction and the kind of efforts which have been made in that direction in the last few decades, you would know that the entire approach we use in light of what we know today is absurd and we only stick with it because it is easier to tweak what was inherited from more primitive times than to rethink the entire problem from scratch and come up with much more effective ideas. You would also know that there are no real scientists working on the problem, just tinkerers masquerading as scientists and engineers. When Dr. Floyd Toole researches what people like best, he is not investigating how to make more accurate sound systems, he is investigating how to make more money for his boss Sidney Harmon by doing market research.

The relative handful of engineers who even work on these problems have for the most part shut their brains off going through the daily grind of earning a living. Is it true that this equipment doesn't and can't do what it is proported to do? Well that's not just my opinion, it was the opinion of the editors and reviewers of TAS in a rare moment of candor.
