Figure it out... DOH!
You've got it bass-ackwards, laddie!
not only that but ur still got that attitude working hard.
told ya, sonny, the clue is in my website (not that it matters, but you are like a dog with a ******* bone...).
Although I haven't been back since, having little in common with either my brother besides some genetic material, or his wife, I didn't blame the dog. It had the semblance of a yard but not anything like the territory not the herdable denizens, and it was ill-suited for the role of the household pet.
End of relevant section.
Optional soiled laundry section: actually, I suspect it picked up on a residual dislike on the part of the wife for me, ever since my brutally-honest brother told her in the early days that I believed her to be pursuing him in order to stay in the country (I later decided that they were quite deserving of each other). Craig was given to commencing an entirely-unnecessary disclosure by saying Well I suppose I should tell you that...
WHY? I don't need to know this, and having been told it, you will anticipate my response, which, based on your policy and past history, you will waste no time in repeating to the involved parties to NO ONE'S BENEFIT.

Do we have a new Frank42 on this thread?
Some hybrid of that and Joe, sadly. I do want to apologize for my bad behavior yesterday. I shouldn't be that sardonic. Did get frustrated that good information was given and utterly ignored for what seemed like ideological reasons...
Remember my advice: answer questions that are honest and sensible, ignore the rest. It will be good for your blood pressure, and you can laugh at the poor suckers who let themselves be trolled.
At some point in time, that i would put after 1975 or so, it became obvious that individuals and little firms, as skilled as they could be, couldnt rival deep pockets corporates like the Yamaha, JVC and other Pioneer, so a lot of people in the US, Europe and even Japan sought some other "metrics" to differentiate their designs from big brands ones that were about impossible to beat using the usual and recognized testing methods.
From here we got numerous stories of highly distorting amps that were deemed to sound better than ppmesque ones, as well as an never ending debate about infinitesimalities that suddenly became the end of all, the cables being in good place in those variable geometries argumentations..
No
I am waiting for a local uni physics prof to get back from holidays, perhaps he can help to get to the bottom of what's going on.
Suffice to say, a bunch of other people hear the differences, so it ain't me day tripping.
The clean filters on guitar cable and guitar amp Ac power sounds magical, and I can further bend the sound to 'party' sound at will......adds a bit of dirt that sounds musically cool..... especially after sharing some of that same kind of 'dirt' ; ).

Hi Scott, you have it correct, and no I have no real idea of why, same with the flash memory same differences.

What Richard Heyser said to me directly, (and probably others): "If 2 or more people can hear an audio difference, it is REAL!"
Our measuring equipment is limited to CONSTANT LEVEL, low number of individual test frequencies at one time, SYMMETRY, and perhaps a number of other properties IGNORED by REAL MUSIC. Richard Heyser also told me that the fact that our test equipment is made of the SAME sort of parts as what we are measuring, a test signal that would upset an audio stage, would also upset the measurement equipment gain stage (more or less) and so a really good test 'waveform' is almost impossible to use for testing. For further info, look into the Hirata Audio test from about 1980, in the AES Journal, etc. Hirata's test box output was relatively crude, BUT it does give results that are missed by harmonic or IM tests, no matter what the sensitivity. Perhaps we should look into this.

I recommend the audacious "Blood of a Wig".
This reminds me of people who want to listen to media of a certain period through equipment typical of that period. I knew a late composer/professor who found this a convenient indulgence.
Meanwhile a frustrating client is attempting to get Rupert Neve to design him a phono preamp. I am told I will chat with the man in time.
In high school a tightly knit group of us were passing around a copy of Southern's Candy. I learned more synonyms for female genitalia that year than ever before. Candy's letters from her aunt Livia (if memory serves) were particularly hilarious. Alas propriety forbids my reproduction from memory of some of the salacious material here. I suppose I could do it in the manner of the Kronhausens' epic Pornography and the Law, in which each obscene word is rendered as (slang for ____), which as a teenager was obscene enough for me.
I was thinking of asking if anyone had any analytics software to see if the same AI could have produced the works of all three of them and we have in fact found something that passes the Turing test.
In amongst the other stuff, this info has been fascinating John -- thanks for sharing bits of your world!
Sorry Jan, don´t want to be offensive, but it seems that you are pretending to know that your answer is the _correct_ one. How could you know that?
Am i missing something?
Thanks, I read it through just now - smokesignalsmag.com
Hmmm, I have never been one for reading fiction......products of bored and deranged minds.
Besides, the findings that I am exploring are seemingly much 'weirder' than any novel could ever be, and infinitely more fun.

Thanks JC and George, I had forgotten about that test....might be very useful to me.
