Excellent thoughts and I'm in complete agreement with these sentiments. My colleagues and I beat on each other relentlessly when we are brainstorming, thinking out loud, playing with ideas, and swimming in uncharted waters. And we can be downright vicious about it (and that's in person, journal referees can be worse, and they are typically not known (double blind review process)). I guess the difference is that my colleagues and I can beat on each other unmercifully, take notes on it all, but then all smile, genuinely thank each other, and head to the local pub for a post-seminar debrief, focusing on the beer! At this forum, it seems that being questioned often leads to mean spirited debate and personal attacks. I have a hard time understanding why folks can't report their tweaks, let others question the tweaks and whether they make any sense, and then move on. I'm probably biased, but it always seems to me that it is the tweakers who get upset/insulted at the mere fact of being questioned. -- garym *Location 1:* VB Appliance 6TB (1.10) > LMS 7.7.1 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Location 2:* VB Appliance 3TB (2.0) > LMS 7.7.1 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) > LMS 7.7.1 > SqueezePlay Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controllers: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.7 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91322 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
