Ian is a really smart guy, I LMAO when my boss's daughter married a guy involved in the scene and took him to a Fugazi concert. Your co-nationals could include Ian Stuart Donaldson.

The intent of participation is to have a good time while providing to others and receiving from them knowledge and help.
It is a volunteer involvement and for the people who value their precious time, there is a meaning doing it only as long as the environment is cooperative and productive.
Rules are in place and are to be enforced but this is the least desirable action.

Sssshhhhh.... Skrewdriver, you just got one of these guys in the west wing.
Except the 4th time constant was introduced in 1976 by IEC and has nothing to do with RIAA.
That's why I asked what is the exact standard that we're discussing here. While equivocation allows some more or less funny banter, it doesn't lead to any sort of "logic" or "scientific" conclusions.
I would welcome your catering of logic and science but it comes late and it’s again out of context.
Scott reference to RIAA curve in post #3531 was about the way of implementing the correction in a playback preamplifier, that is C or L as the reactive element.
In addition, his mention to the three (i.e.RIAA cut/playback standard) or four (i.e. RIAA standard plus the IEC’s amendment for playback) time constants and the References 1, 2 in Daniels link are more than enough for the people with good intentions and adequate knowledge to understand exactly what the case was.
You have allowed yourself to be exposed enough here so do not attribute (or project) funny bantering to others.
Again, you have been warned. George
Probably so, it's the time for a naked lunch. It was long due, and this is only the beginning. Just watch Europe next year.
Find the YouTube video of Rupert Neve talking about his old consoles, the input strips are still a favorite of many top recording engineers. He says that there sound is due to the transformers. Recording engineers understand that as soon as you put up a mic your using an "effects box".( look at the top recording mics, almost none of them are flat, they change directionality with frequincies, there's proximity effect, etc. ). You move the mic, change its angle, yo adjust the effect. If this wasn't true a studio would only need one kind of mic, a test mic:flat and consistant with angle. So these engineers consider every piece of gear as an effects box because they all effect the sound.
I always tell really fat women their thick skin looks highly pleasing to the eye.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention....easily the best ever post on diyAudio.
Read right through the comments, most are hilarious.

That's why we learned in TIASUR so much of differential equations, and why they kept for students ancient analog computers!
That a well known phenomenon. It's called the backfire effect: https://www.google.com/webhp?source...US664&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=backfire effect
I certainly think that 'feedback works', but that does not refute that feedback may well have unpleasant side-effects that can sometimes be worse than most of the advantages that feedback gives. We KNOW that negative feedback can cause: added higher order distortion, TIM, and PIM. This can be proven both by mathematics and measurement. It kind of reminds me of the ads on TV for various medicines, where a superficial problem like acne is proven to be reduced, but the medicine has side effects that can sometimes discomfort or even kill you. Was the medicine (feedback in this case) worth the trouble that it might cause?
This is why Charles Hansen and I try so hard to reduce or even eliminate global negative feedback. We find that our designs have a tendency to sound better running open loop, IF we can get the circuit linear enough without adding a feedback loop. Why, I can only guess.
