False statement.

"If you take two cars, say a Yugo and a Ferrari. If you place you into
each passenger seat (*), blind fold you, put on headphones so you can
not hear, then drive down a super smooth road, at a constant 10mph in
a straight line.. Would you be able to detect any differences between
the two? Most likely not. Does this tell you any information on the
performance of either vehicle? Nope.. Just that under X, Y, and Z,
they will be very similar, or almost indistinguishable.. But, in
actual use, X, Y and Z are no alwasy the case. Big Deal.

Actually, there are people who do stuff like this for a living - its
called competitive car analysis, and its a big business in my home
town, Detroit. I even worked in a department of Chrysler that did
stuff like this. The answer is that its probable that most folks could
tell the difference between sitting in a Yugo and a Ferarri, even if
blindfolded in a stopped car. You may not even have to start the
engine!

Contrast that with the dismal situation in High End Audio".

This is one of your very first posts. You came in trashing "High End
audio" from the very beginning.

Here's another one where you talk about charlatans and
"empty-headedness" and FRAUD, from the day before the previous post:

If you can spend the $2K for speakerwire, $3K for an interconnect and
$10K+ for an SE amp why don't you drag your little system down to some
reputable institute and have it tested with your cables and some
"inferior" ones. You can set the system up and tweek it all you want
before the test. Put as many little piles of stones around the room as
needed.

Be sure that you specify that the piles of stones be kept small and
tightly packed. If the piles are loose, they may rattle. If the piles
sufficiently large, they may actually affect room acoustics more than
any number of other kinds of hyper-expensive tweaks that people seem
to affect, and you seem to be describing! ;-)

Yep, these are three of your very first posts...

The combative tone of your posts was present even then.

Really? Why not do an analysis of my first months posting to RAO to prove
your point?

Who do you think you are? chuckle


and I've done more audio posts than anybody else
over the past 6 years, possibly anybody in the
history of the newsgroup.

Hehehe, HAHAHA... wrong, wrong, wrong!

Really? Why not do an analysis of my first month's postings to RAO to prove
your point?

Really now. Why not do an analysis of the past 6 years of the
newsgroup to support YOUR point? You're the one who made the initial
claim!
