Mikek,
You continue to misconstrue what people wish to communicate to others. What I chastised Traderbam for was, when all is said and done, innocuous. He conveyed a stereotype that causes misperception, and is offensive (mildly) to few. Unfortunately, it is ingrained into Western culture, and is probably accepted by most of us. The fact that you would take such a mild rebuke, one that was only a correction of a commonly held perception, and use it to denigrate another's character is reprehensible.
Regardless of your obvious intellect, it is your mean spirited, massive bandwidth that continues to annoy me, and I assume, so many others. If you’ve nothing to learn here, why bother? One has only to compare your posts to AKSA’s to define, from context, the word ‘gentleman’.
The reason I addressed Traderbam was simply that in doing so, I saw the hope of correcting an unfair stereotype, a simple communication to a rational person. To engage with you, will only evoke that saw –
“Never wrestle with a pig,
You just get filthy,
And the pig enjoys it”
If your interpersonal skills are the result of Asperger’s Syndrome, please accept my apologies.

I refer the gentleman to my earlier question
Mike,
Since you won't answer (2) for whatever reason, here's (1) again, which you have so neatly sidestepped (again).
1. Why bother to do something if you can't hear the improvement?
You see even your reason for not telling doesn't make sense.
Commercial secrecy, NDA's with the manufacturer would make sense, but 'bogus scrutiny', 'subjective perforce'?
Mike this product, if it exists and is aimed at the HiFi market that I'm a customer of competes with other products in competitive demonstration. I audition any product the same, with open mind and ears, as will any other potential customer.
Anyone else smell a rat here?
Now answer the bloody question, or can't you find a reference work to call upon for a quote?
Andy.

Equally it would seem some people have the ability to absorb large amounts of theoretical knowledge, but by their actions and contributions here demonstrate a total abscence of the real world function and behaviour of a circuit.
Your wonderful amp is so good you could not hear the so-called improvement brought about by your preached topology - I wonder why
Andy.

Mike,
Are you totally incapable of answering a direct and simple question?
What point are you trying to make re: listening tests?
There's 92 pages of crap there, and I'm buggered if I'm going to re-read it again!
Type a reply with some bloody substance for a change and tell us WTF you are on about
Andy.

Re: You are a lost cause
No....your ears....human ears...have been sceintifically shown to be notoriously unreliable arbiters of so-called quality of sound equipment.......proof everywhere.....
Hence...NO WAY AM I GOING TO SUBJECT SOMEBODIES HARD WORK TO YOUR ARBITRARY EARS!

There is absolutely NO PROOF whatsoever of that, they are the measure of HiFi that has over-riding relevance, ultimately.
I assume, from the edit above, that when you buy a new CD, you feed it into a 'scope or analyser, rather than your ears, Mike?
Now stop dodging the original question, I do hope the mod's are watching this
Apologies to Librarians and their friends
Sorry about that - it was totally unintentional! I was continuing a theme from another thread where I suggested Mikek was a librarian due to his habit of quoting seemingly endless references to periodicals and journals. I did not intend in any way to denegrate the valuable and esteemed profession of the Librarian. Rather I was proposing a profession that most suited Mikek's posts. I concluded Librarian was the closest.
On relfection, my association of Mikek with librarians could be misconstrued and found to be somewhat insulting to librarians, so I hereby unreservedly retract it.
Yours,
BAM
