John Curl..""Spoke to Dr. Hawksford yesterday. He doesn't think much of you, either""
And that somehow, means something to me????
I still await his publishing in AES, the claptrap he put into a magazine. I would pay good money to watch his peers trash his presentation and his thought processes, in developing such balderdash..ALAS, that will never happen..When I make a statement that is incorrect, I at least have the BALLS to admit such..
You do not. So you do not impress me.
Hawksford does not. He also does not impress me.
When you somehow regain the intellectual strength of character to admit the limitations of your understanding, I will then have a somewhat less than sub-par impression of you.Hawksford has at least moved on, not ever mentioning his '85 article....you would be wise to follow his lead in that respect.
I, at least, have resisted all efforts by others to convince me to publish my results on his article. Three times, three different ways, no reproducibility of his results...Until I swap steel conductor in place of copper...then, the internal inductance shows up. I do not believe writing and presenting a paper who's sole reason for existence is to trash someone else, is justification for that paper. I am confident that you, on the other hand, would relish the opportunity to do so...I do not share your lack of morals in that regard.
As it is, it is taking far too much effort bringing reality back to e/m theory for the masses. Such is the problem of an article of that "level" being believed by so many...it takes a long time to debunk the incorrect stuff when everyone is clamoring to believe..
This is such a huge difference from the international high energy physics community I work within....when someone publishes, they do so for concurrence, for criticism, for collaborative reasons...If what is published is wrong, the author embraces peer review...that is how science progresses...
YOU are unable to do so...that is why you are stuck in your hole, changing parts at random, playing a bit, to make your product designs better....you are not engineering better product, you are using a shotgun approach...but that helps nobody, John...
I defined a 75 ohm backwards compatible RCA....what have you done.
I defined skin theory as applied to swiss roll electrolytics, and how to test for it....what have you done?
I defined how to test the same effect on ribbon inductors and ribbon transmission lines...what have you done?
I defined loop coupling, along with three test setups to look for such, setting up the methodology for determining how a line cord can indeed affect the sound of a system....what have you done?
I defined equations for coaxial construct limitations, how to make any impedance coax with any dielectric...what have you done?
John...it's time to get off the bowl...wipe, for god's sake..
Cheers, John
PS...as for what I think of Hawksford??? I have stated here, other forums, in e-mails to you...I consider him to be a genius w/r to DSP. I believe the word I used was "monster". And I stated publicly that it would take me years to get enough of an understanding of the subject to be able to read some of his papers..
So, what exactly are you talking about, John??? You are also one of the biggest hindrances to the understanding of high end audio. Change your attitude, and you will not.
I finish this post, knowing full well that you will reply with your typical Oh yah!!, jneutron you are full of it!!! type of post.. (don't dissapoint me, John..)
