Paul, the term is appropriate for dickbrains.

Well, that's what Arnie's calling me at the moment.

Figment of your imagination, Paul.

Should I be offended or proud? :-)

Instead of being so defensive

Defensive? I thought I was being flippant.

That too.

first try begging, borrowing,
or stealing a clue about audio, Paul.

What you actually mean is electronics, Arnie. I've been
in "audio" since about 1965 and followed its progress
keenly, whilst taking virtually no interest in
electronics .

Half right. In fact Paul you have almost no interest in
audio as demonstrated by the vast amount of urban legend you
accept as being truth. If you were really interested in
audio you'd understand it better.

Of course if you go back to 1956 there
probably wasn't much difference, but audio is now a
wholly consumer product with nary a soldering iron in
sight. It's been that way for some time.

Paul, part of your problem is that you only have a passing
awareness of consumer audio, which is only a part of audio
pie.

Your "know nothing" approach to the ATRAC issue is not
exactly complimentary to you.

If you check back on that thread, Arnie, you'll see that
I was not advancing theories of my own but repeating what
I had read.

What was it that I was saying about you accepting urban
legend as if it was truth?

If I "know nothing" about the subject of
ATRAC, it appears I have plenty of company.

Ignorance is pretty rampant amount audiophiles, true.

But then of course I forgot, your mission is to enlighten
the world.

....such as it can be enlightened. Much of the world,
particularly the audiophool world, is highly resistant to
the light.

Imagine Paul jumping up and wagging his tail every time I
say audiophool
