I am good with that, but I cannot make myself unaware of my own synergistic thinking.
Oh yes, and by the way, a lens refracts light, a pinhole detracts it, and the difference is what enthrals me - enough.

Bill,
Yep, a 10x8” neg magnified x 4 = a 20x16” print, and uncle Ansel’s work was just amazing. BTW, apart from wet Gravure, it is very very difficult to reproduce a silverhalide print archival toned with selenium. Best in the flesh, as you discovered.

I know some who worked under him. That term is putting it very mildly.
Well put. Better than I've explained to at least one of them. You know they will still repeat their confused notion time and time again.
Oh well...^ These subjective types are unfortunate victims of their biases
Professeur Tryphon Tournesol I know is a learned gentleman, never used any unprintable words, even little kids love him.
Americans put ketchup on their cheeseburgers, I put hot chili sauce. To each their own. After all, audio is entertainment, not dialysis.

Someone said there's no audio business in Indonesia. https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/the...wtorch-preamplifier-iii-2211.html#post5824436
Is it true?
Is it true?
I was pleasantly surprised when Genesis minus PG came out with this album...despite how little I care for Fill Callin's vocals in general...and the Mobile Fidelity LP is quite dynamic and good.

Yes, it's a pretty good album. The first album I ever heard of theirs was Nursery Cryme, still my favourite.

I shan't subject you to the fact that, ostensibly, my coursework/background is in optics/photonics within EE (although I am far more of a "confused" engineer than anything in particular), but I think you meant to write "diffracts", which may or may not detract.
Rest assured though, lenses do a lot of diffraction too.
Almost non existent audio retail but we have Sinar Baja, one of world largest speaker manufacturer in Surabaya. My hometown is 60 km south of capital city Jakarta with close to 1.1 million population, some home electronic and appliance stores but no dedicated audio store.

if it is so, I'm sure you are crossed against each others.

It is interesting that so many audiophiles also love photography, myself included.
Took below photo November last year, walked the length of the beach. I can imagine the sounds of pain and a loud rata-tat-tat-tat sound from the left while those scrambling on the right having little chance to dodge the projectiles. A place of beauty turned into a place of hell - can you imagine if somebody recorded the sounds on that day?

And I was secretly hoping I'm on your ignore list
. Or I am, but you can't resist peeking, like in a "blind" listening test .I shan't subject you to the fact that, ostensibly, my coursework/background is in optics/photonics within EE (although I am far more of a "confused" engineer than anything in particular), but I think you meant to write "diffracts", which may or may not detract.

Oh fantastic, then I am in good company! And OMG - a typo!
I was once fooled by his claim about the I-list. I learned not to take his words seriously.And I was secretly hoping I'm on your ignore list
Audio business is any company that sells audio electronics like this one.
A few in Jakarta, one or two on other large cities. I heard home audio including home theater and karaoke supply businesses are not doing well. A bit better for car audio but not much. As I said, none in my hometown, only electronic and appliances businesses doing DVD players along with TV, refrigerators, cooking range and washing machine.
Ok perhaps I misunderstood your question, sorry. I am filtering lead (and everything else) out of the sound and can put gold and silver sounds back in if I want to, else wise I can run dead clean system sound that has no properties and this takes the system sound back to master tape/on stage sound in the lounge room and on headphones. The sounds of gold and silver are useful as 'correction factor' when used as I described, other materials can be subjectively noisy/have signature.
The chef uses spices with even the best ingredients, this can be to enhance flavours (a la carte) or to set a 'house flavour' (buffet/McDonalds). The major manufacturers unknowingly set 'house sound' by external supply chain and internal processing of materials, this is easy to see beginning with the AC plug.
You could start with clipping ferrite filters around each end of an RCA or 3.5 interconnect cable......use the shoe lace kind that come standard with most gear, you know the ones I mean. You can listen live to this difference by performing AB comparisons on the fly and you can also record these two system states/sounds or you can fit the ferrite filters around a loopback cable and record this changed system state for later audition and analysis. Once you hear and have learned the ferrite signature you will recognise it reliably in ABX and know it is no delusion. So there you have it, you and everybody can learn to discriminate fine subjective changes that you did not expect to be possible or consider audible because of 'education' and 'peer group pressures'.....things like wire materials and direction, solder alloys etc, even ferrite is sworn to be inaudible by many 'audiophiles' and most 'EE's'.
Yes this is 'standard equipment' tracking and mastering processing (the cooking) and is like bulk materials going into a bakery shop and emerging as final product and the qualities of the final product is dependent on the qualities of each of the source materials (the musicians) and the processor stages settings. Mastering houses/engineers use these kinds of outboard gear with 'secret' settings as their 'secret sauce' to get recordings to translate well out in the real world far away from the monitor room.....nightclubs, loungerooms, headphones, tv speakers, car audio, etc you know the deal. The 'compartment' that I said to imagine is perfectly real and it can work to correct recordings and it can also work to 'flavour' recordings. By controlling noise behaviours of systems previously obscured information can be retrieved, and then information can be selectively obscured again and this constitutes voicing or 'seasoning' in the chef's world.
As always.
Dan.
