Talk but not walk?
Hi Guys
This isn't meant to start a fight, but it is important to on lookers. As a qualifier, I have my own audio forum where we report on audio issues as we empirically test them. It helps us short cut on theories and developing methods of listening. We have a wide range of systems and they are all over the world adding their experiences to the mix. Some are engineers, some are artist and others are audiophiles both new and old. One question I am almost always asked while I am visiting other forums, from some of my members and also members of the forum I am visiting is, why do so many HEA hobbyist talk theory without any, or very limited, empirical testing or experience?
I have been around empirical testing labs since I was a kid, and one thing that is certain is, you can always tell if someone is talking without walking. Right now on this forum there are easily 20 threads going on where folks are talking theory and there is absolutely no doubt to any of us who have actually done the testing needed, that the guy talking has never done the actual empirical testing themselves. I've seen this happen with HEA reviewers and designers and a ton of hobbyist. My question is this, why?
You would think that this hobby would be about listening and experience, so why are there so many myths created and why, in this hobby in particular, do people claim they know something without ever experimenting or being part of a team of empirical science folks. It's not that hard to setup a real empirical testing ground, so why don't we see this happen?
I'm not asking for peoples credentials, and I'm not asking to be trolled, I'm simply asking why talk and not walk? In many ways HEA is on pause while the rest of audio innovation is moving forward. I'm also not asking you guys to defend HEA, we've all heard it been there done it. What I'm asking is a very simple question in a hobby that is suppose to be based on "doing", why fake it?
thanks, be polite

Are you trying to educate or pacify your obvious boredom? No need to mention names you know who you are. Your barrage of supercillious commentary on this and a multitude of threads is benign enough except when you attack people in a needless way other than a subtle "humorous" voice of your hostility or is it that even? You are a very strange individual but a part of what makes the world go around I suppose. I just never get the point of your nonsense but try I have, maybe a bit too obtuse for your intellect? |

Subtle “humorous” voice of my hostility? I don’t think there’s anything subtle about it. More like on the open side. 😛 |
Hi Jafant, good to see you. Every time you say the website hasn't been updated for years I wonder if your looking at an archived site :) Both TuneLand and the website got a major facelift last year. Anyway thanks, it's always good to see you. We should become facebook friends where I do several posts during the week. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1764861045 take care Michael |
