"Arny Krueger" said:
His war against Jenn is most pathetic. Jenn started it. "Middius made me do it!" Jenn can stop it. "Waaah! No fair!" Whether or not that's true, it's still a pathetic excuse to trot out. No excuses are required when truth prevails. It may have been a tough and confusing week for some, but any number of uncomfortable technical truths about audio were exposed. LOL! Like 4558s are the ultimate in opamp technology? You should apply for president of the AES, Arny. Oh wait, that would require actually be gainfully (self) employed in audio, right? ;-) -- "Due knot trussed yore spell chequer two fined awl miss steaks." |

Jenn doesn't seem to have to expend much energy in these exchanges to get Krueger running around amd around his little wheel. LOL ! You're so right there. Graham A few days ago I felt like many sooner or later come to feel about discussions with Arny the Indefatigable. " Oh, what the hell? What is the point?" One can't help deciding that he is either intellectually dishonest.to an nth degree or so paranoid that he feels he is always under attack by malignant forces and so entitled to use any weapon, however disgusting, to protect himself. But now I'm encouraged by a man who shares his audio viewpoint,, Eeyore, trying to talk sense to him. So I'm transferring the argument from some 500 messages ago in the " Kroobotgs feeble assault..." thread to he The discussion was about analogue vs. digital. I said: "I quoted to you repeatedly what D'Agostino of Krell,... ... He interrupts : "IMO, a well known technical charlatan with a good grasp of marketing sizzle". ..... Meitner of Bryston and-Museatex... Krueger: "See above". ..... and Stuart of Meridian Krueger:interjects "A well-known advocate of digital audio". had to say about one of your articles of faith; superiority of all digital to all analogue. Krueger: "Say what? That's just one more example of dozens, of your abilities to substitute fantasy for reality, Ludo. Got any more fairy tales to tell? They said it publicly where anyone can read it. Krueger: "No links provided - good proof that Ludo is making this up as he goes along." He, Krueger, is calling *me* a liar! Now note this: On August 26th '05 -*yes August 2005*- in the "A note for Mikey" thread in RAO I quoted to our Krueger what I had said to him once before in the RAHE in 2003. .. D.Agostino says:, (The Stereophile, Dec.2003,p.78: D'Agostino:"With DVD-audio and SACD, I think there is a possibility of equaling vinyl" Lander: You're not in the turntable business, and you do offer CD players, but you've said that you *prefer vinyl to the CD*. D'Agostino: *I still think vinyl is better*, but with the two formats we're dealing with now, DVD-Audio and SACD, I think there's a possibility of equaling vinyl-as soon as we decide not to stick with our old methods of recording. I think we have to go back to the drawing board as far as how we record SACDs, because I don't think their potential has been realized. Note!: just *a possibility*! .And with SACD! Did not the RAO scientists + Krueger *prove* that SACD is no better than CD while LP is infinitely worse. Note!: D'Agostino designs highly respected *transistor* equipment exclusively. No tubes , no TTs, no vinyl. But our Arny of RAO fame sees fit to dismiss him as "technical charlatan" and me as a liar. Not even paranoia justifies this. Now for another one of Arny's "technical charlatans" high-end designer Meitner. This one goes back to 2001, Dec 14. Yes, 2001!!. In "Digital is bad for you" thread in RAHE I quoted to Arny from Meitner interview in the." Positive feedback " 0802, 2001. Meitner interviewed by Pappas said: : "And if listening to music was considered as relaxation and was supposed to be a way to relieve stress, then PCM, like CD playback, certainly doesn't do it as well as some of the old analogue stuff did." " For sound quality, here's one simple test. I'm doing some transfers of vinyl LPs onto DSD. And, you know, in DSD this is a conversion with a minimal amount of damage to the original sound. If you consider playing back vinyl and liking all the good things about it, now we can have it in DSD format. We could possibly take some of the clicks and pops out of it and still have the general good flavor preserved. The same holds true for analogue tapes and any kind of conversion" That was in 2001. and 2005 In July of this year 2006 I said:in "Have we got the wrong end..." July 7 "It was not the first time I quoted D'Agostino to Arny either... It turns out that Arny CAN read. He needs only five repeats to absorb Agostino's name and.throw it back at me shouting hurrah. I made his day because I said Krell instead of "D'Agostino's Krell". Well. let's have it again: D'Agostino's Krell, D'Agostino's Krell, D'Agostino's Krell. Eeny, meenie, miny Arny. And now that we've played children' games how about demonstrating one is not a schoolyard dunce after all and addressing our powerful mind to task at hand: 1) Did those two designers ( with many other authorities, not of the RAO tribe) say that digital has not as yet caught up with analogue rendition of music or did they not? 2) When will we see that one reference to a professional journal (Name, year, authors, title, page) that accepted and published the results of ... ....Arny Krueger's research into anything audio: ABX, superiority of digital, anything, anything at all." This is the man who dares to talk of my "fairy tales" Should I repeat all this to him more frequently? Every year? Every six months? Whatever he may want. I'll oblige. Ludovic Mirabel |

I raised his hackles by quoting two respected designers and manufacturers of high-end transistor audio equipment D'Agostino.and Meitner. Both had the inegrity (and courage) to say that they hope one day to equal the quality of tube and vinyl. . Mr. Krivis loked deep down into his own mental processes and found there the answer. Money, what else, must be D'Agostino's and Meitner's motive. He made his propaganda Ministry press release: Perhaps they realized they wouldn't sell many megabuck phono preamps if they admitted vinyl was inferior? I did not know of any megabuck (or two dollar) phono preamps that those two were manufacturing so I asked politely: Just for interest- what phono preamps do Krell and Meitner sell? And if (...you...) find one don't they sell many times more solid state preamps.? What kind of the mad RAO scientist logic would they follow to boost phono over solid state? Our scientologist thundered: don't know what phono preamps did they sell. And he asked ME: Are you saying they make tube phono preamps, but SS preamps otherwise? For sheer blody cheek this takes the cake. First he accuses them of selling phono preamps for"megabucks" then tries to drop his sewer garbage into my lap. Where the heck did you come up with anything about solid state anyway? In Wikipedia thats's whe : "Solid state (electronics) are circuits that do not contain vacuum tubes or, more currently, moving parts". Good enough for Wiki good enough for me. But apparently not for the clown-prince of scientology: Another witty riposte": You're the one who just came off as raving mad. :-) And a final rapier thrust: Perhaps you should change that to Luddite Mirabel, but I'm sure others have already suggested this. :Yes, other rare wits in your chapel had but I can see why you thought this pun so hilarious that you couldn't resist it. Since we're operating at kindergarten level can I contribute? How about Stuart Krevasse? Ha, ha, ha and ha?

People like Krivis will never understand the concept of personal preference. Nearly everyone I know who prefers vinyl does so because they "like it better." No one is saying that vinyl measures better, or has lower distortion, or anything of that nature. Objectivists like Krivis pretend to be ignorant of this fact, because they can't argue with personal preferences. So they try to create arguments out of thin air, because they can't "get it." Boob |

I have certainly heard good results with some tube preamps, for instance. It appears to me that the best SS and tube gear are all converging on the same point - neutral and stable operation. The best of each breed sound very similar. However, I choose to own SS myself for a number of reasons, with heat and maintainance being up there at the top. And sound quality, evidently, being at the bottom. Boon |

Arny ! Why don't you STFU ?
Marc said to RibbetBorg: However, I choose to own SS myself for a number of reasons, with heat and maintainance being up there at the top. And sound quality, evidently, being at the bottom. The existence of sound at sufficient volume is the quality benchmark of a functioning audio system. What cannot be measured does not matter. If you were a proper Hivie, you'd accept these principles and stop fussing about ephemera like "sound quality". -- "Christians have to ... work to make the world as loving, just, and supportive as is possible."

The guy with his mp3 player turned up to max distort "likes it" too. I guess he must be right. Does he use his own ear/brain to listen, or does he use others'? |

Nearly everyone I know who prefers vinyl does so because they "like it better." No one is saying that vinyl measures better, or So you admit it's down to "I like it." It's always been about personal preference. That's why the objectivists always sound so foolish. The guy with his mp3 player turned up to max distort "likes it" too. I guess he must be right. If that's what his preference is, then absolutely. Objectivists like Krivis pretend to be ignorant of this fact, because they can't argue with personal preferences. So they try to create arguments out of thin air, because they can't "get it." You're the one who tries to present things as being superior when they objectively are not. I'm the one who tries to talk about my preferences, nothing more. When that fails, you cry "listen to it yourself!" No, I say "listen to it yourself" from the get-go. The next step is to retreat into "I like it and so there. I don't care whether it's any good or not." Well, more accurately, it's "I like it because it makes me happy. I don't see the connection between measurements and my own personal satisfaction. And only a moron would would buy a consumer product based on anything other than their ultimate satisfaction." Did I miss any steps? Did you trip and fall on your face, you mean? Only every time you post. Boob I see you finally signed yourself correctly. :-) Ooops. You win! Boon |

And I missed the part where you actually name the tube amps you have heard that sound just like the best tube gear. But then you're stuck using teenie, tiny, triode tunes. You don't care how bad your amps are, because you "like them." w00t I actually have more than one amp. I also have a 200wpc hybrid integrated amp, a 40wpc SS receivers, and a 15wpc push-pull with KT66s. Meanwhile, back in reality, those teeny, tiny SET amps are a joke. Meanwhile, back in reality, I own a 2wpc triode, and derive a lot of listening pleasure from it. And you continue to base your opinions on something you've never heard. Which is impressing no one, by the way. Maybe you should dispense with electronics altogether. I bet you can find an old Victrola on Ebay or something. Then you can be acoustic all the way from vinyl to your ears. It's older, so it's just got to be better. Maybe you should stick with MP3s then. It's newer, so it has to be better! Boon |

And *this* is what the anti-vinyl fundamentalists quote as the problem with LP's. Little do they realize that it usually signals a lack of care and sometimes lesser equipment on their part. |

I remember one poster here who refused to believe that I have several LPs that are of "ticks and pops". It made me wonder how he handled his LPs. |

Both had the inegrity (and courage) to say that they hope one day to equal the quality of tube and vinyl. . That's utterly absurd. Tube circuitry is heavily flawed. Vinyl is hopelessly flawed. Which doesn't bode well for the quality of D'Agostino and Meitner's _current_ equipment. :-) "One day our stuff will make it up to the level of being really crappy." Actually, I feel it is possible to do a pretty good job with tubes in some cases. A couple of EEs I respect have said that, as with SS, you can get good results with tubes if you use them properly. I have certainly heard good results with some tube preamps, for instance. A tube PA is totally stuffed by the need to use an output transformer though. It appears to me that the best SS and tube gear are all converging on the same point - neutral and stable operation. The best of each breed sound very similar. However, I choose to own SS myself for a number of reasons, with heat and maintainance being up there at the top. Good enough reasons, although I did once design a mosfet amp with a quiscent dissipation of 110W/ch. Graham |
