"It's the same group - some in fact, some in spirit - from the rec.audio.high-end days, probably still sitting in their wood-paneled basements, listening to Ohm speakers and Sansui amps run through zip cord, because hey - ABX tests obscure any differences that could possibly lead to a system improvement. Remember, if you can't measure it, you DEFINITELY can't hear it." are funnier than all get out. ROTFLMAO! There is a lot of other funny stuff in his recent spew but its too much work to make a compendium of it. Reality is: I was once a strong force behind the objectivist viewpoint at rec.audio.high-end . I once owned a trio of Ohm F speakers and they were the centerpiece of my prime listening system (along with an 18" subwoofer). When I was in the Army like 100,000's of others I was once a regular listener of an audio system that was centerpieced by a Sansui amp that was connected to Pioneer speakers with zip cord. So the guy was 100% right on about who I was in 1968 (Sansui amp, zip cord), 1978 (Ohm F's), and 1998 (rec.audio.high-end). However, the wood-paneled basement is 100% a fabrication of his imagination, perhaps even autobiographical. Too many coincidences - he probably lurked on rec.audio.high-end, afraid to post and have his ideas examined in the light of science as he appears to be now. I've changed my system many times since then, but maybe he has not! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103683 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
