Are you saying Markw4 didn't know what he was talking about?
You've been reading and posting on this forum since 2015 and you don't recognize who / what Jakob2, JC and Merrill are?
Sorry, I can't help you.Shill is a legit term, not one used in name calling that you were thinking of. Same with snake oil.
See my second paragraph above.
^Jakob3?
Thank you for making my day!

Yah, positioning is just a little part of the answer/problem.....minute differences.
Have you asked Markw4 about backing up an audibility claim of DACs?
How accurate are you in the assessment of 2 forum members?
How would you know if test was done properly or poorly when a poster who claims of audible difference between DACs won't reveal how the test was done?
Just a thought, I like taking the room out of the equation as much as possible
Agreed
Does that explain your handle?
Possibly since people like to plug themselves into tech and disconnect from everything else Markw4 doesn't know me. I must have been unclear in something I wrote. No harm!
Sorry I have no tinfoil hat or dowsing rod to figure things out... I try to be evidence-based in such matters. I'm happy to admit my errors, if you can provide evidence that I've missed.You've been reading and posting on this forum since 2015 and you don't recognize who / what Jakob2, JC and Merrill are?
If all you can show is that any of them sell stuff, I'll admit I'm wrong, but it won't change my ability to read their posts for their content, and decide if I find the content valuable or not.... maybe even a response.
No apology needed for your inabilities.
I laughed too!
My full time job is being a practicing visual artist, and what you refer to as my subjective emotional side has nothing to do whatsoever with the tools I work with, other than facilitate my creativity. So, in effect I am agreeing with the objectivists on this issue.
But I am compelled to say that the final act of musical creation emanating from a piece of recorded music happens inside the listener’s heart and mind, and has nothing whatsoever to do with playback equipment.
Ever seen a cat dancing to music? Nope!

Ha! That's great! Well, directly, no, but indirectly you're right. I don't do any work in that direction, but because of my background and interests, I know head motion is central to the brain's internal construction of the 3D world. Solving spatial audio externally with sound fields is difficult. But with head tracking and IEMs, it's a tractable problem.Does that explain your handle?
That method doesn't preclude periaural microphones to allow interaction with others, but if the goal is to disconnect, this idea would certainly facillitate that.
Yay!
ToSI am trying to share something I’m experiencing that seems to be relevant in audio research at this time.
It seems many don’t grasp exactly what I’m saying and the ones that do are on the defensive against constant ridicule.
So in the face of adversity I trudge on
Mr Bob, I get it - in spades.
May I suggest that what you are experiencing is your own creativity at work? That the act of listening is in itself a creative act? That your own creativity can and does wax and wane, and ultimately can be encouraged to become a full time foreground activity?
I think you need to give yourself credit for this epiphany.

Two posts in 2015, then silence until these days. Smells like a sock puppet to me, but then what do I know
Perhaps that ^ shouldn't be taken as a joke.^Jakob3?
ToSThank you! Sincerely. You get 2 dings and a buzz.
I didn't know about Jakob... missed that post. But as I said, that info doesn't change how I read his posts (what I agree and disagree with). And again, does that constitute snake oil? I don't see how, and I doubt you can show it, but I've used up my help-me card, right?
I guess JC was obvious. No secret really. But also no snake oil.
I happen to know you/Scott are wrong on the third. Merrill Wettasinghe of Merrill Audio Advanced Technology Labs in New Jersey is not mmerrill99.
You didn't read my post very well (that's the sort of straightforward thing that Jakob has trouble with too)

You've both missed your calling. Smearing without any evidence is quite valuable in politics.
You are wrong, but I know that provides zero deterrence for you.
What did I miss? "Alleged"? You don't believe mmerrill99 would make something cheesy looking?
To Mountainman Bob's direct question, you give a link, and some hedging words. And EvenHarmonics also cites you as evidence.
Misleading, at best.
