IME, a true fact. RAO is well known for being primarily off-topic, and
dominated by childish flamers.

This is a false claim. Brown has frequently smeared members of this
gruop, and this is just a recent example. There is no evidence to
support his agenda-based, hostile assertion.

Except for the record in google.

Ironic that Richman, who almost habitually abuses his knowlege of
psychological terminology to smear other members of this group, should
raise
a point that so clearly applies to him.

Also ironic that Richman repeatedly claims that I make personal
attacks, then attacks me after I make a post that was purely on topic
about audio.

It's worth noting that Brown does not have the integrity to reproduce his
original response to the :"newbie's" question. Like his rolke model,
Krueger,
he makes false claims while simultaneously avoiding the post in which his
hostility is uncovered.

Here is Brown's response to the newbie:

Hi all and tia,

question:
I want to find some software that will compare two 'identical' cd's
(or wav's) and 'measure' their audio quality against each other. Can
anyone suggest anything?

Unless there is mistracking or other data corruption two 'identical'
cd's should sound, well, identical. Mistracking or other data
corruption will result in skipping, crackling or really harsh grinding
sounds. It's the conversion to and from analog and digital that can
cause more subtle problems. Once you have a good sounding WAV file the
process of making a CD is an almost all or nothing affair.

so if I can hear the poor quality then
either I am imagining it or need to measure the burn against the orig.
Or is it the burn program?, the rip program?, the drive? etc, etc

If you have a CD with data corruption you'll easily hear it, even with
hearing impairment.

background:
I am in IT, understand the 'guff', have a very powerful PC with good
drives (but not audiophile).

Then you'll understand digital data is either right or it's not.

I have been told that the software I use (EAC) is crap,

EAC is a decent program. maybe some people don't like its look and
feel, but it can certainly transfer a WAV file to a CD without
corruption. It's not a (relatively) complex operation.

the burn CD's
I use are crap, my hearing is crap etc etc...thus my keeness to
actually measure the various wav's against each other.

It could very well be faulty blank CD's, or your car player doesn't
like CD-R's. Do these 'bad' CD's sound bad in different machines?

ps: I apologise if I posted in the wrong group, if so can someone
suggest the correct one please.

Contrary to the false claim made by Brown, the last sentence of his
response
indicates his lack of respect for the intelligence of the posters on
rec.audio.opinion. It is also totally unrelated to audio in any way.
Obviously, he has no evidence to back up his personal attacks re. the
intelligence of RAO posters. And by trying to pretend he wasn't leveling a
personal insult at the members of RAO, he simply illustrates the type of
fraudulent behavior that he and Krueger are known for.

So a post that is 99% audio is a personal attack? And where does he
mention any "person"? I would think a personal attack would have to
either mention a specific person or persons, or followup a person's
post?

You are really reaching here and only displaying your own paranoia.

Thanks fror demonstrating that you support and engage in personal attacks. The
last line of a post - and in fact, the only one that Brown even posted in his
latest personal attack - is often one that readers remember. This phenomenon
is covered under a perceptual rule known as the Law of Recency. Claiming that
there is less intelligent life in RAO than in another news group is an attack
similar to those that Brown's role model, Krueger, is known for.

Your use of the term "paranoia" simply illustrates your ignorance and
desperation to smear others that actually know what terms like this mean.
