My writing may "suck" by your infantile standards, but at least I get my written material into print. So do John Atkinson and Steven Rochlin, just to name a few.

Others made the mistakes in his name :-) But when asked, said "they were just following orders". I don't think Bush has published any books either.

We do have apostrophize, though. George M&M is right, "apostrophize" has the same meaning than "apostropher". This shows French grammar is more rigorous than English, or at least that French punctuation marks are. And more tolerant of the Sluttish dialect. It seems that you better know your maternal language than the French wines. Congratulations !!! |

Brother Horace the Pinheaded lied: Do you feel foolish yet, Clerkie? I'd like to remind you that I, personally, have urged you to consult a physician many times. Apparently you still have not done so. And this is the result. Sad. And, no, I do not feel foolish in the least. Nor did you feel ashamed at getting caught stealing, nor even guilty for having done it in the first place. You don't feel anything. You are a wind-up toy clown. And, Mr. George "nobody" Middius, I am again published - and in a very big way this time. Haw, haw, haw...... Howard Ferstler |

From: Howard Ferstler Date: 10/20/2004 6:43 PM Pacific Standard Time Message-id: I am on the title page as the "technical editor," A step above getting your name in the phone book. Congradulations. Hey, while being in the phone book may impress you, it does not impress me. It takes a lot more work to get your name on the title page of a book than it does to get into the phone book, slick. Hope that does not shock you too much. Incidentally, learn to spell. and of course I did all of the biographical sketches of audio big wigs, No autobiography obviously. The encyclopedia has a vita section for all of the contributors. I am in there, slick, but the autobiographical info is rather sketchy. If you want more info about me, check out the back cover of my fourth book. plus some company histories. Paraphrased from their promotional copy no doubt. You can only guess, slick. The important thing is that I have published way, way more about audio than you have or ever will. The best you can do is fantasize about your system and upscale gear. Perhaps 10% of the total material in the set was written or modified by me. And you still refer to it as your book. Pathetic.We can surmise that at least 10% of it sucks. Well, there are two names on the title page: the primary editor and me. The other contributors are listed elsewhere. Although many audio notables are in there, That would preclude you. I was too modest to put a formal article in there about me. However, as I noted above there is a vita section that has information about me. it is still primarily a music-oriented publication, with scads of bios of performers, plus a lot of recorded-music history. Your bio sketch is NOT in there, needless to say. Of course not. I am not involved in audio as a proffessional. You appear to not be very involved in audio at all, on any meaningful level whatsoever. You are a deluded audio crank who has not a clue about audio in general, and probably has not a clue about the genuine good and bad characteristics of his own system. The two-volume set lists for $225.00, which means that it will definitely be an academic or technical library item. IOW a low volume seller. Yep. That is the way it is with academic books, slick. That's five books for me (admitting that number five has me as an editor/contributor and not sole author) and zero for you, pinhead. 5 POS to 0. You lose, again. Only by the standards of a fact deprived, information limited goofball like you. Howard Ferstler |

Howard Ferstler wrote: Actually, a good pair of modestly priced satellites, when combined with a really good subwoofer, should be able to give even a very upscale pair of super speakers a serious run for the sonic-accuracy money. Yes... using pink noise and careful "level matching" they'd even sound the same! We the borg use pink noise for music, you will noud, duh. This shows that you misunderstand the usefulness of pink noise as a testing tool, which, I might add, I do not use all that much when reviewing audio products. However, here is a nifty trick you might try. First, place your two stereo speakers close side by side and sit back from them about ten feet, and then do a musical AB comparison with a mono source. (You can let your balance control do the AB switching, and if your preamp has a mono switch you can even use a stereo source.) If your speakers are good ones, they will probably sound alike. (If not, you have serious problems.) Second, assuming they sound alike, do the same test all over again with pink noise. I think you will be surprised at how much different they sound this time. This is because pink noise is analogous to a test-pattern chart with video work and it will show up frequency-response anomalies much better than any musical source ever could. Yep, you will discover that your two otherwise musically very good speakers are surprisingly different sounding from each other with a demanding signal like pink noise. Fortunately, those differences are not all that big a deal if they are not too extreme, although they can definitely cause imaging problems if they are serious. By the way, I outlined the above procedure in detail (showing how it can also help one to pinpoint malfunctions in one speaker of a stereo pair and also evaluate analog recording tape and tape recorders) a couple of decades back in two different Stereo Review articles.

Howard Ferstler Nothing new in any of this, Howard. I've been checking speakers this way, both on music and white noise, for decades, and never found two speakers to sound even vaguely alike. I've also tried it using headphones and a balance control and again, the drivers sound completely different. Why? I have no idea, but I'm just glad I don't have pink noise--who needs it? |

(3) Methodologically deceptive and fraudulent "double blind tests" in which you've been proven to have deliberately manipulated the data to conform to preconceived beliefs/ And I'm sure many more deceptive, false, and/or libelous practices too numerous to mention. However, I'm sure you've succeeded in preventing newbies from listening to the words of "true believers" and "tweako-freakos".
