Default Howard's new tweako freako book

$225 for a two volume 1200 page booik about audio?
What a tweako freako rip off.
Any old $5.00 paperback on aurio would read just as well.
I can't believe that audio clowns are wasting so much money
on this book, when they can get the same performance for $5.00.
Nothing but a bunch of overpriced mumbo-jumbo.

Obviously, you are a sub-literate type who has never even
seen a genuine academically oriented book, let alone read
one.

You need to get out more, goofball.

Au contraire, I think he's well read.

Contradictory advice, Howard.
Why don't you take a break from turning out wooden ears in your backyard

Funnily enough, I was looking up something in one of my old Audio Buying
Guides, and there was a very favorable review of one of Howard's books.

Maybe we all need to ratchet it down a couple of notches.

It would, if we only knew what aurio was. Let alone a booik.

"Aurio" is what howard uses when determining the pinkyness or the noise
he listens to (he calls this level matching) to establish that all amps
sound the same. "Booik" is what happens to a book after howards been at it.

I was just looking through an old issue of Stereophile
and there was a favorable review of a $3,000 tube amp.

Maybe our favorite professional audio clown need some ratcheting.

Every time I log on to RAO I am reminded of comic books, not
