You do not know anything at all about me, and from the above statements you obviously still do not understand me nor my motivations in this thread at all. It is really rather incredibly presumptuous for you to even imagine that you would. I certainly have never claimed to understand you, because I would never assume I knew even the slightest thing about you from a couple of posts on some web forum. Now you say it is all just joking around; I shouldn't ever take anything you say too seriously. I guess that is what you are suggesting. Fine. While your "fiend" Dan is the worst kind of pseudoscientist in my opinion, I did learn one thing as a result of reading his site. He mentions that in blind tests concert violinists cannot tell a Stradivarius from a "regular" violin. Now this struck me as highly suspect given that I know that acoustic instruments each have unique tonal signatures and musicians make their living from being able to understand and manipulate tonal color. Sure enough, with about 15secs of googling I found nice graphs of the harmonic structure and resonances of various violins, and of course each and every violin has a unique acoustic signature. Anyway, suffice it to say that Dan does not exactly have his facts correct, and in any case has drawn the wrong conclusions from what he does know. Of course I wouldn't expect anything less! However in doing some reading of factual information I did learn a few new things. So reading Dan wasn't a COMPLETE waste of my time after all. :) -- ncarver ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ncarver's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15905 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81616 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
