In Reply to: What group of people would you lable the "academe" in high end audio? posted by jensw on April 3, 2007 at 16:18:11:
...you would know what I mean. As a "Lifetime Member" I'm well versed in their world, a world which includes for the last thirty years not one mention about *sound*. Any paper that deals with such will be summarily rejected.Moreover, the longer a paper's mathematical derivation and the more pages of integral equations present, the greater the likelihood of publication. It's all so useless, but makes the often-university-connected directors think they run a *respectable* outfit, at least in the eyes of others.
The evidence gathering happens day by day by every skilled user; ignore it at your peril. Meanwhile academe has done nothing to give you better sound. NOTHING.
